I have noticed that we can look into workflow revision history but we do not have the option to restore that previous revision history. I would really like to be able to restore based off revision history, we can currently do this for landing pages. What is the point of having revision history if there isn't an option to restore it?
I also noticed that if you remove an action at the top of the workflow all following actions and steps are instantly deleted without a warning sign. This is extremly dangerous espically since we cannot restore workflows based on revision history. We just had a very long workflow with an action at the very beggining that needed to be removed. We needed to remove this action and our understanding was that it would just go to the next step in the flow or at least give a warning sign that steps are about to be deleted if you remove this action, but it did not. Now the entire workflow is deleted and we have no way to restore it ourselves.
I wanted to flag this becasue this is potentially very dangerous to user who are updating workflows.
Would really like to hear back from someone on the team as to whether or not a fix for this will be implemented or if they are even noticing these missing basic features.
PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE -- HS worflows are so powerful, but it feels wreckless to have critical business logic one accidental click away from permanent deletion. In every other sphere where we work with code there are layers of source control, but not here in some of our most important business automation.
In one click, someone from my team deleted something that will not only take hours to rebuild, but throws off our whole team's process during all of the down time. I've worked as a Hubspot partner for more than 10 years now and have always wanted / needed this for things like this.
It's time that we have this as an option.
Thanks for building a great tool. ❤️ Please fix this fatal flaw. 💀
It's like there's some secret government program preventing this from happening! No one at Hubspot has any answers, or offers up any answers. It's the strangest situation I have ever seen w/ a piece of software.
I think I did this before where I restored an older version from the version history, but I just attempted to do it now, and the option was not there. HubSpot, please fix this!!
Something fishy is going on here. No one at Hubspot with any level of authority will address this problem. Why? Why is no one in leadership giving the users any feedback here?
We, as a user community, need to get really, really vocal, maybe to the highest levels in the organization, and demand answers.
Considering Workflows are a major part of what HubSpot really is, it's stupid that no one gives any priority to this very basic function. What's the use of having revision history if we cannot restore that version? this is such a basic function that should've been added in the first iteration.
I saw this post and wanted to let you know you're not alone in your frustration. The pain of losing a complex workflow after a single mistake is a huge problem that we built our app, WorkflowGuard, to solve.
WorkflowGuard provides automated backups and instant rollback for your HubSpot workflows. With a single click, you can restore any previous version, so you never have to rebuild from scratch again.
We believe revision history should be useful. Our app makes every past version of your workflow fully restorable, turning the history log into a powerful safety net. This is crucial for protecting your business-critical operations from accidental deletions and bad edits.
If you’re tired of worrying about losing your work, I invite you to check out WorkflowGuard. We offer a 21-day free trial so you can see how it can protect your workflows.
Hi everyone! My name is Pukhraj and I'm a Product Manager on the Automation Team. We've heard your feedback and want to let you know that this is currently in development! I'll post updates here as we finish up!
