Is it possible to set an auto action to occur only once?

When I need to do this I make sure that the auto action also sets a field value that I can condition off so the auto action is not repeated next time.

Thank you Nant,

So, if I was to set an auto action to send a PM, can I set a field value in the same auto action or would I need to set up a separate one with a query to set the field value?

You would need to initially put criteria on your PM action to not fire if a specific cb_pmsent field value for this user is set to 1.

Then you would need to make a second CB Field auto-action (again with same filter so it is also only executed only once) to change the filed value to 1.

Both actions should be looking at same trigger and CB Field action should be second in list so it happens after the PM action.
