Have an archive or deleted for deleted automations to remain there for sometime before deleting forevew

Can you add as an enhancement to your product development team to have a repository for deleted automations (it can last maybe 24 hours only or 7 days) but deleted automations should not be deleted right away. as people can delete them by mistake. I selected an inactive automation that I wanted to delete but AC was still thinking and deleted the wrong one, and now the automation is completely gone.

Hi Atono1,

Thank you for sharing this — I can totally see how frustrating that situation must have been. Accidental deletions can definitely happen, especially when there’s a delay or lag in the platform, and having a short-term “trash” or recovery feature for deleted automations would be incredibly useful.

I’d recommend submitting this as a formal feature request if you haven’t already — it’s a great suggestion. A temporary repository or undo option (even for 24-72 hours) could be a real lifesaver for many users. You can submit it on our Ideas page: Login - ActiveCampaign | ActiveCampaign

In the meantime, it might be helpful to duplicate automations before making changes or deletions, just as a temporary safeguard. But I completely agree this kind of safety net should be built in.

Really appreciate you raising this — the more visibility it gets, the more likely it is to reach the product team!
