# Why is my workflow action adding the same data each time it occurs?

If you find that your workflow is sending through the same data every time it runs, rather than new data from the [Trigger event](https://docs.getmesa.com/workflow-builder/triggers), it could mean that you've written values in your actions. To prevent this and have your workflow dynamically update each time, you will need to set up your action to use [variables (dynamic values)](/workflow-builder/fields/variables.md) from the Trigger data.
