Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Process Street to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I remove the :undo: reaction from a message about a workflow, undelete that workflow in Process Street.'
  • 3Choose 'Message Reaction Removed' as your trigger.
  • 4Set up Process Street to notify you in Slack whenever something is deleted (so you have a message to react to).
  • 5Test by archiving or deleting something non-critical and confirming you can restore it via reaction.

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.
