Any way to create an alert whenever a SharePoint Site is Deleted?
Every once in awhile we have sites get deleted and then have to go into recovery mode to pull them back (after getting panicked calls and emails) and then go see who deleted the site which is usually the System Account so then we have to go do a query in Sentinel to find out who deleted the TEAM Site that deleted the SharePoint site, etc. It's a pain. It would be so much better if we could set something up where the SharePoint Team got an email letting us know that a site or Team had been deleted and then just go ask the person if they meant to do that.
Any ideas on how to set this up? I searched and can't find anything readily available.

MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile thank you. I tried this and it seemed very easy and straight forward so did a test and for some reason, no email alerts are coming through after deleting a site. Am continuing to investigate.
- It did work it just took about 24 hours for the workflow to start working. Now we get email regarding these site deletions. Thank you.
MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile Which "activity" we need to select while creating new alert policy (in case of communication as well as team site deletion)?
Please consider giving Like if my post helped you in any way.
- Were you able to get this set up? If so, what events/activities needed to be monitored?
