[SOLVED] Too many emails are sent with AutoActions & Ajax

Hello,

I have 2 fields: transport (radiobuttons) and roommates (text area), both with Ajax editing in frontend active and working fine.

I have created two Auto Actions with Type: Email and trigger OnAfterUserUpdate:

1.- When the user changes their transport method, an email must be sent to the email address of the transport coordinator.

2.- When the user introduce data in roommates, an email must be sent to the email address of roommates coordinator.

Both actions are working, but when you modify one of the fields, both emails are sent simultaneously.

Edit: Really the emails are sent when any other field is modified with Ajax in frontend.

How can I fix this?

Thank you.

You need to make sure the field was actually changed. That trigger fires when the profile updates exactly as it implies. It does not fire for a single specific field. So any profile change will fire it. To condition to make sure the field has actually changed values you need to use the below conditions.

1: [var1_FIELD_NAME] Is Not Empty
2: [var1_FIELD_NAME] Not Equal To [var3_FIELD_NAME]

var1 is the updated user object while var3 is the old user object. It's making sure they didn't save the field to empty and that compared to the previous value the field has actually changed.

Thank for your fast answer. I need to change conditions var2 as var3 and it works fine!

Thank you very much

Yup, corrected my reply. Forgot that trigger is a bit of an oddball and has the old object as var3. At some point var2 will become the old object with var3 being deprecated eventually.
