WooCommerce custom order action does not work with trash status

Question

I want to use woocommerce hook woocommerce_order_status_changed. I want to fire something when new status of order is trash.

I used this function, which is working good for rest order statuses, except trash.

This is my code:

function custom_order_actions ( $order_id, $old_status, $new_status ){
  $order = new WC_Order($order_id);

  if ($new_status == 'trash') {
    // Do something
  }
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_changed', 'custom_order_actions', 99, 3 );

woocommerce_order_status_changed can not pick up the trash status since it's not one of the registered statuses on woocommerce according to their github page.

However, you could use wp_trash_post action hook instead!

add_action('wp_trash_post', 'custom_order_actions');

function custom_order_actions($order_id)
{

    if ('shop_order' == get_post_type($order_id)) {
        $order = new WC_Order($order_id);
        // Do something
    }
    
}

wp_trash_post^Docs

Let me know if it works for you!
