Can I recover a deleted record? #

In most cases, it is possible to recover a deleted record.

  1. Open a new chat conversation with Groupdesk Staff

  2. Make a request to recover the record, and include the deleted Record’s ID and/or URL

  3. If you do not have the Record ID and/or URL, please include the Record name and any other information you have about the record.

We will try our best to restore the record as soon as possible, however, recovering a deleted Record may take up to 10 business days, if we are able to recover to record at all.

While in most cases we are able to recover the record itself, we are NOT able to reinstate the relationships that were removed/changed when the record was deleted.

What happens to deleted records? #

A deleted record can still be accessed if the ID is known. You are not able to make any changes to the record, but you can still view it.
