# Allow Repeat

> Control whether people can go through an automation more than once.

The **Allow Repeat** setting controls whether a person can go through an automation more than once. You'll find it in the automation's **Settings** tab.

***

## Defaults

The default depends on the trigger type:

* **List-based triggers** (added to / removed from a list) default to **not** allowing repeats — each person goes through the automation once.
* **[Form submission](/automations/triggers/form-submission) triggers** default to **allowing** repeats — since a person can submit a form more than once, each submission re-enrolls them.
* **Weekly and monthly ([scheduled](/automations/triggers/scheduled)) triggers** default to **allowing** repeats — the list is re-enrolled each time the automation runs.
* **[Manual](/automations/triggers/manual) triggers** default to **allowing** repeats — so you can re-run them for the same people whenever you like.

You can override this default per-automation in the **Settings** tab.

## How It Affects Manual Runs

When you [run an automation manually](/automations/managing/running-manually), Allow Repeat is respected:

* **Off** — people who've already completed the automation are skipped.
* **On** — they're re-enrolled.

<Note>
  When repeat is enabled for recurring automations, people whose most recent run was **canceled** or **failed** are still re-enrolled the next time the automation runs. Only people currently **in progress** are skipped.
