Reply Object Trigger

Hello,

 

I've created a trigger on Reply (Community) object to capture the changes in the UpVote field. I was hoping that if someone "Likes" a Reply, the trigger will fire, but it does not.

 

 

trigger myReplyTrigger on Reply (after update) {
   for(Reply r : Trigger.new) {
      System.debug('~~~ Logging replies ' + r.UpVotes);
       // do some code here ...
   }
}

 

 

Does anyone know how to capture changes in the UpVote field?

 

Thank you!

Michael

After doing some research, it looks like UpVote is a formula field and you can't have a trigger on the formula field because values computed by formulas are not stored in the database.

So, I tried creating a trigger on the Vote object, which is most likely related to Reply object via ParentId, but Vote object doesn't allow triggers.

Any ideas?
