I am trying to update a field in my child record automatically when a parent record gets deleted. I have 2 objects, 1. Team 2. Player. I have lookup relationship between both objects. Team is parent object. There is a checkbox field in player object called, is free agent. Each player is related to a team. What i want to do is, I want to check the "is free agent" check box once the related team to this player gets deleted. I am trying to do it using process builder. I cannot use apex triggers. Because I am practicing salesforce built-in UI tools.

here is what i have tried.
Checking criteria if lookup field is empty in player object

updating is free agent check box updating is free agent check box

Process Builder does not support "on delete" events. You would need a trigger to update such a field. However, if you're just interested in a checkbox that can't be updated, you might use a formula field instead:

Is Free Agent (checkbox)

ISBLANK(Team__c)

This would be the "non-coding" way of doing this in Salesforce.
