Filter and Search for Deleted Contacts

[andrew_thomas]

We recently ran into a situation where we had a reporting discrepancy. I wanted to determine if some of our recently deleted contacts (deleted for valid clean-up reasons like bounced, etc.) might be the cause for the discrepancy. Unfortunately, I can't filter or search for contacts in the "Restore Contacts" view. The only effective way to do this is to restore all contacts and then filter. 

Use case #1: Search through deleted contacts for investigational purposes.

Use case #2: Search for a subset of contact who meet certain criteria that should be restored. 

Maybe there are more use cases? Maybe this applies to other record types, too?

Hi @andrew_thomas 

These are great examples of how to use this function. 

This is also a great idea and one that a few other HubSpot users have also requested. 

Head over to the ideas page and vote up the idea and also submit your use case examples.

Thank you.
