Deleting a note will not trigger the workflow.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Is it possible to track changes made to specific types of notes?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Currently, the trigger applies to all note changes in a contact record. You can use filters like \u201cHas Tag\u201d or \u201cDoesn\u2019t Have Tag\u201d to refine the workflow\u2019s scope based on the type of contact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article explains the Note Changed workflow trigger, a tool designed to automate actions whenever a note in a contact [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"doc_category":[17,49,47],"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1105","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry","doc_category-automation-workflows","doc_category-contact-workflow-triggers","doc_category-workflow-triggers"],"year_month":"2026-09","word_count":618,"total_views":"35","reactions":{"happy":"0","normal":"0","sad":"0"},"author_info":{"name":"usamasaeed219","author_nicename":"usamasaeed219","author_url":"https:\/\/onesystemcrm.com\/help\/author\/usamasaeed219\/"},"doc_category_info":[{"term_name":"Automation &amp;
