Update field on child record when parent record gets deleted
I have a lookup relationship between Object A and Object B . “A” is the parent to “B”.
When a record from “A” gets deleted, the related field value in record “B” is removed. What I want do is remove the field value of a different lookup field value on “B” once the field value between “A” and “B” is deleted.
When a field value is removed on the child, due to the parent record being deleted does this count as an update to the record? If so, I believe it should be possible to update this through visual workflow, process builder or workflow rules, but have not been able to get this to work.
I have also tried using a formula field checkbox. When checkbox = TRUE on record B, run the workflow rule, visual flow, or process builder, but have been unsuccessful.
Is this possible through visual workflows, process builder, or workflow rules?

Check out this video that shows off how to conditionally update child records using flows.
