Automating an email when opportunity closed as lost

Posted on by 188

Hi all, 

I've set up a workflow to trigger an email when a opportunity has been lost, the email works fine but it also sends it when we reopen the opportunity and therefore the status isn't "lost" anymore. Any ideas where I have gone wrong..

I've tried setting it up as well where it says does not contain open or won but it still sends the email if i reopen the opportunity.

Any suggestions welcome as I can't work out what I am doing wrong. 

Thanks

    But you've now put them at a flat level, so the send email action will be triggered whether the condition is met or not.

    There is one message "No steps have been added" under condition, you need
