There is currently no way of tracking trashed items other then through the UI.
Possible options:
  • add a querystring option to show trashed items for the current get item endpoints (keep default false)
    << best and quickest
  • more information about the deleted item in the webhook event so there is no need to fetch more info (title, location, deleted by)
  • keep trashed items available on the get item endpoints (but with an extra boolean field "trashed")
This way we can create our own reports and notifications on what items are trashed with the information about the item with it.
Now the only thing I can do is send a notification "Something is in the trash".
I have people in my team and guests that sometimes clean up their tasks a bit too well, if I don't regularly check the trash thing disappear permanently without knowing. Having the trashed items available through the API can help prevent this.
