I don’t get the “on item remove” trigger in the reorder list workflow and how it relates to a specific UI action.

If I want to remove an item in the list, I can add a button and remove it from the database, but then it will not trigger the “on item remove” workflow.

Can someone pls explain how it’s used?

The only way to use this trigger I can think of is when you have 2 separate reorder list and moving items from one to the other. Is it the main usecase?

Hi Felix 👋

Loved your question, I had to try it for myself so I recorded a video:

In conclusion, yes this action trigger is used to detect when an element moves to a new reorder list.

Thanks Agustin.  
Yes I used it that way, but with a twist.  
My second list is a trash bin, so when I move an item to the trash, it triggers the remove workflow and update the database.
