How to generate only ONE automated email when a SharePoint 10 form is modified/saved

Question

I just started to learn how to do a workflow today.

I have created the following basic workflow:

Wait for Completed to equal Yes

If Current Item: Request Status equals Approved

 Email CurrentItem:Created By

Else if CurrentItem:Request Status equals Denied

 Email Current Item:Created By

 then Stop the workflow and log *Notification Sent*

I have selected "Start Workflow automatically when an item is changed." How do I stop it from emailing the designated individual every time someone modifies/saves the form?

thank you

You could choose to start it manually, or start the workflow only when you create a new item.

If you have other requirements, you could also edit the workflow to set it up. For example, set a condition only when it is modified by certain users:
