I have a Gmail Send & Wait towards the end of my workflow. It used to work, but now every time a response is received, it triggers the entire workflow again. It never passes data to the next node, nor does it look to even capture the data from the email form.

I have a loop node earlier in the workflow (which is new compared to previous versions), but when it starts over it doesn’t start at the loop node, so I don’t think that’s the bug.

Any help would greatly be appreciated. I’ve been pulling out -what little- hair I have left over this. Thank you!

Version: 1.80.3

Solved! The culprit was the ‘When Clicked Test Workflow’ trigger.
