Tasks - Send distinct emails to users (prevent multiple emails from being sent to same user)

[gregcoiro]

Hello,

I have created a task that runs on a daily basis to send emails to records in a table that meet a specified criteria.  I could have a user with the same email address that has multiple records in the table, but each record is slightly different.  So they are not unique records, but the same email address is utilized.

Is there a way to prevent this daily task from sending multiple emails to the same address even though the records are slightly different?  I have tried using the "Select Distinct" From function, but I believe this only works if the entire record is unique.  I would like a maximum of 1 email to be sent to 1 unique email address?  Can this be done in the single task?

Thank you.

Hi @gregcoiro, In order to send only 1 email even if there are multiple the same email, you can use the Group by. You can check the screenshots below:
