Hi Alex,

You will need to check your notification workflows and change the scrips
to prevent duplications. We have had similar complaints about duplicate
notifications, but each scrip was working correctly. One was to address
this is to use a scrip with much more internal logic to control who gets
sent what. Then you would only get a single Email, unless your scrip
has a bug.

Regards,
Ken
