Workflows

Avoid workflow loops

Prevent an action from triggering the same automation repeatedly.

Before you start

Use a test channel or sample conversation first. Confirm the visible result in ValueChat before applying the setup to production traffic.

✓The expected channel, conversation, contact or execution is visible.

✓The assigned person or agent matches the routing rule.

✓No customer-facing message claims an action that failed.

✓Activity or execution history contains enough context to investigate.
