Overview

The "cancel delete" deluge task prevents data from being removed from the database when users try to delete records. An error message will be displayed to the user, which can be customized by using the alert task before "cancel delete".

This task is generally used in conditional statements, when a user must not be able to delete a record unless a specified condition is met.

Note: When the "cancel delete" task is triggered, all other deluge tasks except "send mail" task and API calls written in that "On Validate" section will be rolled back and won't get executed.
