Questions about this workflow
Can it know whether the project was successful?
Only if the card details or available history include outcome information. Add any required success criteria to the prompt or card content.
Is the retrospective generated before deletion?
The workflow uses the data returned when the card is archived, subject to what Trello makes available in the event.
