I have a simple notification based on a change being a specific state (Review). When a change enters this state, I want an email fired off to a user in a specified field.
Here are my conditions for this notification:
When I make this event happen, the logs show that two emails were sent at the exact same time:
How can I prevent this duplication?

Most likely you have another business rule that is doing current.update(). check business rule on that table.

Hi Kevin,
Since the notification is triggered on update it seems the record is getting updated twice. In this case you can try using Events.
Also, you can try by adding a some value in weight field on the notification.
Thanks,

Hi Kevin,
Check al of your notifications on that table. What often happens is that there are two notifications triggered by the same insert/update action as Mike described. What can also happen is that somewhere you have a BR or script firing an event that is triggering one of the emails.
Hope that helps.
