Append Workflow overwriting each other if appending the same record

Posted on by

I am creating a workflow that will Append an email from a contact record to the contact's employer account. The goal is to have a string of emails on the employer account from all the employees with a certain job title. The workflows will be run on each contact record with the required job title. I formatted the string by having the workflow append just the email if the text string is blank or "; " then the email if the field contains text. The workflow works correctly if I run it on one record at a time; however, if I run the workflow on multiple records with the same employer at the same time it does not work. It appears that since the workflows are running at the same time they are overwriting each other instead of appending the emails. I need to find a way to have the workflows run one after the other without having to run the workflow on one record at a time. Since I can't run the workflows as a child workflow from the employer because of the relationship N:1 relationship and I can't link the workflows I can't think of a solution. In the past, I worked around this by running the append workflow on one group of record with no overlapping employer accounts before running it on another group. There is currently no way to segment these contacts in this way. Any ideas would be appreciated! I am running on Dynamic CRM 2013 but can not use code. 

Any ideas would be appreciated! This is my first post and I've been working in Dynamic CMR for about a year now. I am running on Dynamic CRM 2011 but can not use code. The solution has to be within the workflow tools. Thanks!
