Hi guys

How do flow outcomes track and report if a customer goes through a particular IVR path more than once in a call?  eg they go through and get their account balance, which we have a flow outcome for "checked_balance".  They then end up going back and checking that again on the same call for some reason.  Would there be a flow outcome count of 2?  I assume unless it also goes back to the initialization set point the second flow outcome would have a very short duration?

Any time a call goes through an outcome task, it'll register. That said, you could set a variable condition to check in the conversation to see if they've gone through that particular task already... for example, after the outcome, set a variable like flow.checked_balance = true. then you can check that variable as a decision point prior to the outcome, and skip the outcome if it's true.

Thanks Dean, yep that variable condition approach is used pretty much everywhere in our call flows already lol so looks like that's the go-to method again :)
