1. Identify the Issue:

  • Determine which workflow is causing problems.

  • This Example: the workflow was under "Customer sends any message" and "Email auto response."

2. Locate the Troubling Workflow:

  • Go to the Automation section.

  • Identify what step int he workflow is causing the issue. In this case, the problem was that any customer reply would trigger the same auto-response, leading to a loop.

  • The solution would then be to change duplicate the workflow and change it from "Customer sends any message" to "Customer sends first message".

3. Duplicate the Workflow:

  • Click on the More option at the top right corner of the workflow.

  • Select Duplicate to create a copy of the workflow.

4. Modify the Duplicated Workflow:

  • Change the trigger from "Customer sends any message" to "Customer sends their first message."

  • Rename the duplicated workflow to something relevant, such as "First Message Auto Response Email."

5. Set the New Workflow Live:

  • Go back to Automations.

  • Find and activate the newly created workflow.

  • Remember to edit the communication channels on the entry rule, unselecting anything that isn't email in this case.

6. Pause the Troublesome Workflow:

  • Return to the original troubling workflow.

  • Click on it and select Pause to stop it from being used.

7. Confirm Changes:

  • Ensure that no new customers are being placed into the troublesome workflow path.

8. Review and Test:

  • Verify that the new workflow functions correctly and that the issue is resolved.

9. Monitor and Adjust:

  • Continue to monitor the workflow performance and make adjustments as needed.
