How to Prevent an Automation From Reopening a Closed Account

A workflow may reopen a closed account after receiving a delayed payment, support, or integration event. The account can resume receiving messages or processing activity despite a deliberate closure.

What to check

Review event sequence, account state history, closure reason, retries, external system callbacks, and reopening permissions. Test delayed and duplicate events against a closed test account.

Recommended next step

Require an explicit authorized transition from closed to active and check current state before processing callbacks. Log the reason and actor for any reopening and notify the account owner.
