Hi all,
Curious what people see as best practice.
Situation: user creates a project in the database then deletes it.
If the entry is deleted my understanding is it isnt ever recoverable.
If I set up the database to have a field “Archive” - Yes/No then the user has the ability to restore this item.
My fear is this would clog up the database eventually.
Is it possible to set up a workflow that routinely removes these archived items from the database say weekly or monthly?
Hey there 
,
It really depends how many items you will have in your database. I normally just “archive” things because it is instant for the user and makes for a better UX.
You can set up a backend workflow that deletes that item after a certain amount of time only if the item is still archived. Check out Schedule API Workflows. https://bubble.io/reference#Actions.ScheduleAPIEvent
I hope that helps! 
Thanks for the reply!
Good to know - will take a look at the scheduled API workflows. Cheers!
