Bin and audit log
The bin is always there. The audit log is a module: switch it on under CRM → Modules once more than one person works in the CRM.
The bin
Deleting a contact, company or deal moves it to the bin. It disappears from lists, search, segments and email audiences, and comes back exactly as it was if restored.
- CRM → Bin lists what is in the bin. Restore puts a record back; Delete for good removes it with its timeline, tasks and field values.
- Records are deleted for good automatically after 30 days in the bin.
- A deal whose contact or company is deleted for good stays, without the link.
The bin is for CRM managers.
The audit log
The timeline records what happened with a person. The audit log records what your team did to the data: who created, changed, binned, restored, merged or deleted a record (with the old and new values of changed fields), who imported or exported, who saved a segment or deleted a list, who started a campaign and who changed settings.
Open CRM → Audit log (CRM managers) and filter by person, record type or action. Entries are kept for a year.
