Workflow sending multiple emails

Workflow sending multiple emails.
I had created the workflow for document library (ABC)
The document library ha 2 fields
 1. Employee Name
 2. Resume Type
Document Library Settings are as shown in the screenshot.
My workflow settings are as shown in the screenshot:
When I upload a document, workflow is sending 2 emails.
How to resolve to send only 1 email. Any help will be appreciated. 

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow you created sent two emails instead of one emails if you uploaded a document to library.
Could you provide the actions that you used in the workflow or a screenshot about your workflow?
Please add a step at the end of your workflow which will pause the workflow for a few minutes and test whether this issue occurs.

  • SharePoint 2013 - SPD Custom Workflow keeps sending multiple emails for a single Task

    I have a workflow triggering on List item created only. There are multiple stages in the work flow and in each stage a single task is assigned to a group of people. Currently group is only having one user i.e. my own test user with a valid email address.
    Workflow was running fine for first 5 runs but now it keeps sending multiple emails for each task multiple times and runs very slow. I have only single workflow in development server with 24GB RAM.
    Enabling the Workflow log in Event viewer does not show any error or warnings. The only clue I see is WorkFlowManager Database table "DebugTrace" having multiple entries showing that WF is trying to send same email multiple times with failed attempts,
    but in reality emails are being delivered as well.
    http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPRetrying
    http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx  Status: HTTPFailed
    I could not get the exact phrase as I don't have direct access to development machine at work.
    Any help or guidance will be highly appreciated.

    Yes, I have on-premise SP site, and here is the actual log I see in DebugTraces table.

  • Workflows sending duplicate emails.

    I have many workflows that send 2+ email notifications. Sometimes it's a brand new wf - or sometimes I've had a wf working fine for months, then I edit the email part (add a email address or add to email message body - NOT edit the wf) and it starts sending multiple email notifications. Sometimes if I recreate the exact wf - it starts working fine -- but not always. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you.
    The workflow didn't work with SalesStage -- but when I changed it to SalesStageId it worked... Thank you!
    Edited by: user9978914 on Jun 22, 2010 9:56 AM

    yes! It is an Opportunity record - 'when modified record is saved' workflow -- it was this:
    [<SalesStage>] = 'Closed/Won' AND [<OpportunityType>] = LookupValue("OCCAM_OPPTY_SALES_TYPE", "Software") AND [<IndexedPick2>] = LookupValue("OCC_INDEX_CUST_LOV_OPTY_2", "IBM") and worked fine for a long time.
    Then I added a new email recipient (did NOT alter the wf)-- and it started duplicating. I changed the wf to:
    [<SalesStage>] = 'Closed/Won' AND [<OpportunityType>] = LookupValue("OCCAM_OPPTY_SALES_TYPE", "Software") AND ([<SalesStageId>] <> PRE('<SalesStageId>')) AND [<IndexedPick2>] = LookupValue("OCC_INDEX_CUST_LOV_OPTY_2", "IBM") and it seems to be working now - only sending one email. The ([<SalesStageId>] <> PRE('<SalesStageId>')) was the only thing changed.

  • Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

    Hi,
    we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
    we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
    I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
    pls help.
    thanks
    Radhashyam Sahoo.

    If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs.  As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart.  It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

  • ICal sends multiple emails for invites and updates to event attendees - HELP!

    Every time I create or send an event in iCal, it sends multiple emails to each attendee (2-3 duplicate emails) with the same event.  So if I have 3 event invitees, they get 3 emails each.  All the emails are sent from the correct account in Apple Mail, and the calendar itself shows only one email address for each attendee, but for some reason the sent folder shows that each person was emailed 2-3 times.  This is causing quite a problem for work, as any invite I send is clogging up inboxes with duplicate and triplicates for each attendee. 
    When I send a meeting acceptance, it only sends one reply, so I have no idea why it's duplicating or triplicating events when new ones are sent out or udpated by me.  I can't delete my calendar without losing important events from clients or what not, so I'm not sure what to do.
    Also notable:
    I am NOT using iCloud calendars as I needed to create a calendar group and iCloud didn't support that.
    My calendar is syncing to an FTP so that people in my main office can view and download my calendar as needed.
    I am on a brand new (not even 2 mos old) MacBook Pro Retina 2013 model, with OS X 10.8.3
    I am on Calendar 6.0
    I can't change/update events on my calendar from one sub-calendar to another once they are created (though I can edit on my iPhone and resync). This is really annoying and I've posted about this before to no avail (thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21646850#21646850 and here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3920017?start=0&tstart=0).
    For now (for this thread) I'd like any help possible in getting my calendar to send just ONE email to meeting attendees when I create and/or update an event.
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue.  Did you get a resolution to this?  Whenever I add a new person to the meeting invite iCal always resends the entire invite...it should just send the invite to newly added participants.

  • Users sends multiple emails for one email to be received

    I have a user who states that she has to send multiple emails to a customer before she one is able to get through.  She doesn't receive a bounce back from them.  I recently suggested she remove an images from the emails, we have a corporate logo
    that can be used in our signatures, as many of her customers are government and I figured they may be blocking the emails for this reason.  Nothing seems to have helped and she still seems to be having the issue.  This also occurs sometimes for some
    of her customers and other times with others, so it doesn't seem specific to the customer.  I have repaired Office and run a virus scan, the scan came up with minimal malware and removed it.

  • Sharepoint Designer Workflow - Send an Email that displays Item Changes

    Hi,
    I have set up a Sharepoint Designer Workflow that sends an email to the Owner of an item (designated by a column in my list) whenver that item is changed by another user. The workflow looks like this:
    If Current Item:Modified by not equals Current Item:Primary Owner
    Email Primary Owner
    This is set to occur whenever an item is modified.
    I would like the email to show what changes were made to the item, similar to how Sharepoint's notifications work. It should show what the field that was changed to trigger the notification contains currently and what it contained previous to the change. 
    Any help is much appreciated. 

    hi,
    out of box there is no option available. But you can implement a solution.
    Create a hidden field as multiple line of text. Make it a hidden field so that user cannot enter into this field.
    When ever a workflow start check if this field is empty that means item is create now using string manipulation in workflow concatenate the meta data in one workflow variable and save it in this hidden field.
    whenevre a workflow is start if hidden field is not empty it means this is an update item scenerio and than you 
    can have read old values from this field and you have new values in item metadat. format email to get diff.
    send email upadte the hidden field again with new meta data.

  • Approval Workflow: "Send By Email for Approval" not available in Comments Menu

    Im using Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.1) but still have Acrobat 8 Pro (8.2.5) installed as well. I'm attempting to initiate an approval workflow utilizing the approval stamps but I'm not finding the "Send by Email for Approval" option under the Comments Menu or under the Comments button in the Task bar in either version of Acrobat Pro.
    Not sure what I'm missing on this end, either in the install of either version or if I, myself, am just not getting this process. The Review process is great and works as it should but I'd like to incorporate the approval process as well if possible in to our internal workflow.
    Thanks.

    Approval workflows are available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean only. Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WS62EA03B6-4B99-457 c-8A3C-06FDB463E293.html

  • In Workflow, send an email to the initiator's manager/direct Superior

    Hi Experts,
    I'm trying to create a workflow that will send an email to an employee's manager(Superior) when that employee creates an expense report through the Portal.
    I've got the workflow set up and it currently sends to me when an expense report is created. So that part isn't really an issue. The issue is how do I tell the workflow to send to the employee's manager? I'm not familiar with HR and don't know how to tell it to use the organizational structure to get the manager(one step Superior). HELP!?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Senthil,
    In HR module all the employees will have positions. These positions were created in OM (organization management) module. And all the positions will have one manager or chief for that org unit. You can creat a workflow such a way that it should fetch the employee data from OM table.
    Thanks,

  • Yahoo Mail sending multiple emails

    I've had it for the last few days. Today I sent quite a few emails out .....40 was sent with one and 15 with another and so on.I'm fuming but most of all it's so embarrassing! I've been trying to get through to Sky....40 mins and counting... 

    Hi all,  I am having the same issue and have been for the past couple of days, it seems to be ok if I compose an email from scratch but replying to an email sent to me is where I have the multiple email sending issue. Agree it is also very annoying and wish Sky would get it sorted quickly. As I was looking through this website a pop up appeared and asked me to do a survey about the Sky Community, which I did and told them what I thought about this issue and their inability to deal with it - or even respond to the posts on this forum!!! Not sure how else to complain without an email address or holding on the phone for ages, so did it through this survey!!

  • Best way to send multiple emails

    Hi,
    what is the best way to send different emails in batches in one
    smtp session? Lets say 50 emails in one smtp session.
    Is the smtp session closed after I call Transport.send() ?
    In general I can not find a hint when a smtp session gets established and when
    the session gets closed.
    Thank you for any suggestions,
