Best way to keep an automation from running when entity is duplicated

My daily check ins database has a markdown template that is applied when a new record is created.
However, sometimes I want to duplicate a prior check-in. Although I’ve already adjusted the automation not to run when the notes (rich text) field is not empty, most of the time the template is appended to a new record that was created by duplication.

Any tips on how to filter out this creation method when running an automation?
