    Contacts receive duplicate messages

    Last verified

    Symptom
    The same email or text goes out twice, or two workflows send overlapping messages.
    Likely cause
    Two workflows share the same trigger, or a form submission and a tag both start the same sequence.

    Applies to: Workflows, Email and SMS actions

    How to fix it

    1. List workflows with the same trigger

      Search your workflows for the same form, tag or calendar trigger.

    2. Consolidate overlapping sequences

      Merge duplicate paths into one workflow, or add a filter so each contact only enters one.

    3. Turn off re-entry

      Disable re-entry on sequences that should only run once per contact.

    FAQ

    Can I stop messages already scheduled?

    Removing the contact from the workflow stops remaining steps.

    Do duplicates hurt deliverability?
