Understanding Re-enrollments in Workflow

Control whether records can enter a workflow multiple times or just once.

The Re-enrollment setting in Workflow determines if and how often a record can enter the same automation. This gives you full control over how recurring or one-time processes are handled.

 


What is Re-enrollment?

Re-enrollment allows a record (such as a property or contact) to enter a workflow more than once if it meets the enrollment criteria again. You can either:

  • Enable Re-enrollment: Records can go through the workflow multiple times.

  • Disable Re-enrollment: Records can only go through the workflow once. Any further attempts to re-enroll them will be blocked.


When to Enable Re-enrollment

Enable re-enrollment if:

  • The workflow is meant to run repeatedly for the same record (e.g., sending reminders every time a condition is met).

  • You’re using date-based triggers, such as the last updated date, vacancy date, etc.

  • You want to allow follow-up actions on properties or contacts that cycle through the same conditions over time.

 


When to Disable Re-enrollment

Disable re-enrollment if:

  • You want the workflow to run only once per record.

  • You want to avoid sending duplicate messages or mailers.

  • The workflow represents a one-time process (e.g., onboarding or an initial outreach sequence).

Example: You’re running a one-time welcome sequence when a new lead enters your CRM. Disable re-enrollment to prevent repeat messages if the record is updated.

 


How to Manage Re-enrollment Settings

  1. Open your workflow and click on the Settings tab.

  2. Look for the Re-enrollment section.

  3. Choose one of the following:

    • Enabled – Records can enter the workflow multiple times.

    • Disabled – Records can only enroll once.

  4. Save your settings.

Note: Changing the re-enrollment setting is no longer available once the workflow is activated.


 

Best Practices

  • For recurring workflows, always enable re-enrollment to ensure automation keeps working as intended.

  • For high-impact sequences, like mail campaigns or drip emails, disable re-enrollment to avoid redundancy.

  • Always test your workflow logic to confirm that re-enrollment behaves as expected before launching at scale.
