# How to Allow Contacts to Re-Enter Automation Flow

Enable contacts to re-enter an automation flow after completion—ideal for recurring campaigns, follow-ups, and dynamic workflows.

## **Overview**

The **“Allow contacts to re-enter”** feature enables contacts to enter an automation flow more than once. This is especially useful for recurring campaigns, follow-ups, or workflows where contacts may need to be reprocessed based on specific conditions.

## **How to Enable Re-Entry for Contacts**

1.  **Open the Automation Workflow**  
    Navigate to the automation where you want to allow contacts to re-enter.
    
2.  **Enable Re-Entry Option**  
    Scroll to the **Other settings** section and toggle **Allow contacts to re-enter** to **ON**.
    
3.  **Set a Re-Entry Delay**  
    Define how long a contact must wait before re-entering the flow.
    
    -   Enter a number and choose the time unit: **Days**, **Hours**, or **Minutes**.
        
    -   _Example:_ Setting **2 Days** means a contact can rejoin the workflow only after 2 days from their previous exit.
        
4.  **Save Your Settings**  
    Click **Save settings** to apply the changes.

## **Use Cases**

-   **Follow-Up Sequences**  
    Re-engage contacts after a delay with follow-up emails or actions.
    
-   **Recurring Engagements**  
    Ideal for sending weekly reminders, monthly campaigns, or seasonal workflows.
    
-   **Dynamic Workflows**  
    Useful in cases where contacts may qualify for the same automation multiple times.
    

## **Important Notes**

-   When disabled, contacts can **enter the automation only once**.
    
-   The re-entry delay helps prevent immediate re-processing and ensures a controlled flow.
