- 3Choose 'Message Reaction Removed' as your trigger.

Questions about this workflow
How long can I restore a workflow after deletion?
Process Street typically allows recovery within 30 days. Check your account settings for the exact window.
Does this work for any Process Street object or just workflows?
This automation focuses on workflow runs, which is what gets deleted most often. You can set up similar automations for other object types.
What if I'm not sure if I want to restore something?
The message stays in Slack. You can ask Notis to check if the workflow still exists before restoring, or just keep the message as a reminder.
