Workaround for Workflow Triggered by Workflow

I've been told by Zoho Support that a Workflow that is triggered by a field update will not be triggered if that field update is done by another Workflow.

I'm hoping that someone has found a workaround for this. Let me explain my use case and maybe someone has a better idea:

Our application upserts new accounts when they become a customer via API. It will update the Account Status field to Customer as well as some other important fields having to do with our customer journey. I then have a workflow that updates all the Child Contacts with certain information that we use for scoring and automation.

When one or more of the custom contact fields is updated to meet certain criteria, I built a workflow to send an email to that contact. Since those fields are updated by the Mass Update of Child Contacts workflow, the email workflow doesn't happen.

How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?
A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk) In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only. The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
