Product variant deleted

The product variant deleted trigger starts a workflow when a user in your organization or a third-party app deletes a variant from a product.

Note

Creating variants for an existing product deletes the product's single default variant. Workflows that use the product variant deleted trigger will start when variants are added to products that already exist in the Shopify admin, but only if that product did not previously have variants.

This trigger affects variants deleted by any method, such as deleting a product, deleting a product's variants, or bulk actions.
