You’ll be back on track in minutes. --- **Troubleshooting / FAQs** **Q: Can I recover contacts deleted more than 30 days ago?** A: Unfortunately, no. Deleted contacts are permanently removed after 30 days. **Q: Will restored contacts be re-added to Smart Lists or campaigns?** A: Smart Lists will update automatically if the contact still matches the filters. Campaigns and automations won’t restart unless you manually re-enroll the contact. --- **Still need help?** Reach out to our support team via [support@hapana.com](mailto:support@hapana.com)     - [Member Management](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Settings](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#account-settings) - [Client Accounts](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#client-accounts) - [Edit Profile](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#edit-profile) - [Retail Configurations](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#retail-configurations) - [Other](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#other) - [Schedule](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#schedule) - [Client Page](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#client-page) - [General](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#general) - [Reporting](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#reporting) - [Retail Dashboard](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#retail-dashboard) - [Team Settings](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#team-settings) - [Hapana Member Access Control (MAC) Doors](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#hapana-member-access-control-mac-doors) - [Cash Drawer](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#cash-drawer) - [Marketing Solutions](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [App](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#app) - [Contacts](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#contacts) - [Marketing](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#marketing) - [Conversations](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#conversations) - [Settings](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#settings) - [Automations](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#automations) - [Branded Solutions](https://support.hapana.com/branded-solutions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Branded App](https://support.hapana.com/branded-solutions?hsLang=en#branded-app) - [Branded Kiosk](https://support.hapana.com/branded-solutions?hsLang=en#branded-kiosk) - [Hapana Hub](https://support.hapana.com/hapana-hub?hsLang=en) - [Website Embed Widgets](https://support.hapana.com/website-embed-widgets?hsLang=en) - [About us](https://hapana.com/about-us/) - [Careers](https://hapana.com/careers/) - [Contact us](https://hapana.com/contact-us/) - [Privacy policy](https://hapana.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & conditions](https://hapana.com/terms-and-conditions/) [![email-logo.png](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hapana_2022/email_2022/footer%20logo.png?width=300&height=78&name=footer%20logo.png "email-logo.png")](http://hapana.com?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, Hapana
