Wix Automations: Automations Don't Run Retroactively

2 min read
An automation only runs for triggers that happen when the automation is active. This means that if the automation was activated after the trigger occurred, the automation won’t run (i.e. retroactively).

Tip:
As a workaround, you can manually add recipients to an email automation. That way, even if they weren't included in the initial trigger, they will be part of the automation once added.
