Flow updates a record and re-triggers itself

Classic. Add an updated-by check or mutex flag so own updates don't re-fire.

Try this first

  1. 1Identify the flow's service account
  2. 2Filter trigger on modified-by != flow account
  3. 3Or set updated_by_flow field and skip if true
  4. 4Test on 1 record before production rollout

When to bring us in

If loop is running: stop flow, clean residual records, restart.
