I'm getting the same error from Automations, one of which only changes data in the same table (the same record actually).

Hi Jennifer,
This can happen when you set up an Automation that will trigger itself. For example one that says whenever I edit this record then fire off an Automation that will edit this record. Then when the Automation edits the record it triggers itself again, over and over. Essentially creating a loop. You want to make sure your Automation has some kind of control to prevent this from happening.
A great example of this is if you have an Automation set up so that when a record is edited you then edit the record without any filters. Instead if you have it set so that whenever a record is edited and the Company Name field changes then edit the Company History field the Automation isn't set up to trigger itself.
