How to Prevent a Workflow From Sending a Message After a Customer Is Deactivated

11/10/2026

A queued workflow may send a message after a customer account has been deactivated or communication preferences have changed. The trigger event can be valid when created but stale by the time it executes.

What to check

Review queue delay, current account state, consent and suppression lists, retry behavior, and the final send step. Check whether deactivation events cancel already queued work or only stop new triggers.

Recommended next step

Recheck eligibility and consent immediately before sending, cancel queued work when required, and record the reason for suppression. Test delayed execution and state changes that occur after a workflow starts.
