# Salesforce - Deleted record trigger

This trigger monitors Salesforce for deleted objects of a type you specify.

The object picklist only fetches soft-deleted records which remain in Salesforce for a limited period (typically 15 days) after deletion and are stored in the Recycle Bin.

If you cannot find an object in the picklist, its records are likely hard deleted immediately upon deletion. Hard-deleted records are permanently removed from Salesforce and aren’t stored in the Recycle Bin. These objects aren’t supported by the Deleted object trigger.

To resolve the issue, configure the object so that its records are soft deleted and retained in the Recycle Bin for 15 days, if applicable. Junction records (used to create many-to-many relationships) are usually hard deleted and cannot be configured for soft-deletion. Contact your Salesforce administrator for more details about how your organization handles deletions.
