Restore Deleted Contacts by Workflow

 

What is it?

You can now filter contact deletions in the recycle bin by workflow source, making it easier to restore only the contacts deleted by a specific workflow.


Why does it matter?

Workflow-triggered bulk deletions can accidentally remove hundreds of contacts at once. Previously, you could only restore records by date, which often meant restoring unwanted deletions alongside the contacts you needed. This targeted filtering lets you pinpoint and restore only the contacts affected by a problematic workflow, saving time and reducing the risk of restoring irrelevant records.


How does it work?

In your recycle bin, you'll now see a new source filter that lets you view deletions by workflow name.

To restore workflow-deleted contacts:

  1. Navigate to Contacts > Actions > Restore records
  2. In the filter dropdown, select the specific workflow name
  3. Review the contacts deleted by that workflow
  4. Select and restore only those records
