Can I make a list with restored companies

SOLVE

Hi @MPetersen1,

 

There isn't a filter for finding deleted companies, unfortunately.

 

One option is copying all company names from the company bin and pasting them into an Excel file. If you prepare the file as explained here, you could create a company list, filtering for the company names: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CRM/Filtering-a-view-with-a-comma-separated-list-of-company-IDs/m-p...

 

Yes, this is entirely manual and you'll have to repeat the process for multiple pages in the bin, unfortunately.

 

Besides that, you could filter for the Last modified date of the companies, once restored, but there isn't any guarantee you're not accidentally including companies which were modified on the same day – but not restored.

 

Best regards!

Thank you for your reply Karsten 

 

My issue is that I need to delete contacts that were associated to the companies I have already deleted and I can not think of a smart way to do so.

Hi @MPetersen1,

 

I understand - you'd have to look into the approach I proposed above.

 

Alternatively, if you can recall the criteria you used for deletion, you could restore the companies and build a list using the same criteria.
