Trigger on TTL deletion Cassandra

I'm currently building an application in Java that uses a Cassandra database, and I would like to have a table that takes in data as it expires in another Cassandra table. Is there a way to implement a Trigger that can do this?

The data doesnt actually expire on a timer or anything. The data is written to disk with the ttl. When read if the ttl + writetime < now it will consider it a tombstone instead of the data. Then after gc_grace_seconds it will end up being purged on a compaction. So while the data is expired, it maybe days depending on compaction strategy before its actually deleted from disk.

To answer question though, no you cannot.
