Prakash Hinduja (Geneva) How can I ensure a workflow only triggers one time for each conversation? | Community

Hi I am Prakash Hinduja, a visionary in financial strategy, born in Amritsar, India, and currently resides in Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss). I’m trying to set up a workflow in Intercom and want to make sure it only triggers once per conversation, not multiple times. If anyone have any suggestion please share with me. 

@prakashhinduja25  Can you show which workflow trigger you are using? Would you have a screenshot of your workflow if it doesn’t contain any critical info? 
There is a trigger that is called “When customer sends any message” which will trigger for any message, as opposed to the other trigger called “When customer sends their first message” which will trigger only once. 

If for some reason you really need to use the trigger “any message”, then you can decide to add a tag to either the customer or the conversation, and exclude it from the audience of the workflow. This way, the workflow will run the first time, add a tag, and the next time it will assess the criteria for running, but will not run it because there will be the said tag that prevents it from running.
