Automated response when ticket is assigned to an agent

I think you can use tags, the workflow checks if the tag (Assigned) is set, if not it sends the e-mail and sets the tag. That way you can prevent loops. Or you can use a checkbox in the same way. 

Hi @Lal23 

Using tags (as suggested by @Daniel Söderlund) to manage communications is quite handy and you can use both Workflows and Business Rules to either add or remove tags from tickets.  As he describes, you would set a WF condition to check whether the “assigned” tag had been added to the ticket - if Yes then exit and if No then send email and add tag “assigned”.  This will prevent the looping.

Personally I like to add private notes to record when these kinds of behind-the-scenes things are happening bc the activities are not as visible, my agents sometimes forget to check.

Thank you - this has worked!
