When a role is changed
A role's name, colour, permissions or settings change. Moving roles up or down doesn't count.

In a flow
“When a role is changed, the steps wired after it run.”
Alert staff when a role gets new permissions.
What it does
A role's name, colour, permissions or settings change. Moving roles up or down doesn't count. It starts a flow, and gives the steps after it values about what happened. It gives 7 values later steps can use. Find it under Starts when in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to start a flow when a role is changed.
When not to
If the flow should start from a click or a command instead, pick that trigger: a flow has exactly one.

If it's empty: Empty when the step didn't make one (it stopped early or was skipped); steps reading it get nothing.
