Editing Runs once vs Runs multiple times (section)

== FAQ ==

=== Q1: Can I change a trigger from "Runs once" to "Runs multiple times" after configuring it? ===
Yes, you can change a trigger's settings at any time, but keep in mind that previously entered contacts will not re-enter under the new settings if the trigger was originally set to '''Runs once'''.

=== Q2: What happens if a contact meets the trigger conditions multiple times while the trigger is set to "Runs once"? ===
The contact will only be able to enter the automation the first time they meet the trigger conditions; subsequent attempts to meet the condition will be ignored.

=== Q3: Is there a limit to the number of times a contact can enter through a "Runs multiple times" trigger? ===
Yes, contacts are limited to entering the automation through the same start trigger a maximum of 10 times in a 24-hour period.

=== Q4: Can I use multiple triggers in one automation with different settings? ===
Absolutely! You can configure multiple triggers within the same automation, each with different execution options depending on your specific use case.

=== Q5: How do I know which trigger type to use for my automation? ===
Consider the objective of your automation. Use '''Runs once''' for actions that should only happen a single time and '''Runs multiple times''' for actions you want to encourage repeated interaction.

=== Q6: What happens if I delete a trigger set to "Runs once"? ===
Deleting a trigger set to '''Runs once''' means that any previously entered contacts through that trigger will cease to exist in that automation for that entry point.
