Plugin version 2.5.5  
DC version 3.4.0.beta3-dev ([876591fdab](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/876591fdabbf085c5f7937a419f6aa08a2eeb893))

Settings for webhooks post events cover deleting and restoration (all checked).

- Posting a comment immediately increases the counter as expected.
- Upon deleting my only post in the topic, the counter in WP stays on 1.
- Upon restoring it stays on 1 as well.

So no, it doesn’t work, unless I’m supposed to perma-delete my post or wait 10 minutes or similar. I purged the caching plugin between refreshes as well.
