How to stop Zapier from sending me follow up emails due to delay feature every two minutes?

I have created a Zap with a split path. It’s connected to Gmail. Basically, if I received any email from the customer regarding the negative or neutral feedback, there are two paths:

Path 1: The zap will identify the negative emails using the search queries, it will send an immediate acknowledgement email to the customer, and it will send another escalation email to the support team
Path 2: The Zap will identify the neutral emails using the search queries, it will send an immediate thank-you email to the customer, and it will send a follow-up email after a 24-hour delay to the customer.

But this zap is not working out right now; it keeps sending the follow-up email to my email every two minutes. I tried to run it and troubleshoot using Copilot, but it shows perfectly fine during the test. But when I publish it, it starts sending the follow-up email to me every two minutes.
How should I resolve it?

Hi ​@Krushnall 

Sounds like you may have created an infinite loop: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496232045453-Zap-is-stuck-in-a-loop

 

You probably need to use this Zap trigger: Gmail - New Email Matching Search

You need to specify which Folder/Label to watch via the search operators: (e.g. in:inbox)

 

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured.

Make sure to show how Zap step 1 is configured.
