Workflow executes many times, no reason

I have a workflow that triggered today around 4 PM, but after that, even though it ran successfully, it started running again repeatedly minutes later, continuing for several hours. It behaved like retry attempts due to failures, but that wasn’t the case since I had to reverse results—because they were executed correctly. I don’t understand why it kept executing multiple times.

It is happening with every workflow on my dashboard

Hello @Luis Alonso Ramirez,

Upon review, we noticed that your trigger is still waiting for a response, which may have caused the workflow to trigger multiple times for the same response instead of new ones. To resolve this, we recommend disabling your current workflow and setting up a new one—either by cloning the existing workflow or creating a new one from scratch.

Let us know if you need any assistance.

I did it, made a new one, so the new one executes twice each time

Hello @Luis Alonso Ramirez,

Could you please test the same process with a webhook URL provided by webhook.site and let us know if multiple responses are getting captured there as well also provide us with the webhook.site URL so we can also monitor the issue.

If multiple responses are getting in the webhook.site as well then the issue seems to be with the trigger application itself and we recommend reaching out to them in that case. However, in case the responses are getting captured as expected then please revert to us with the webhook.site URL and the new workflow URL you have created so we can better look into the issue and assist you accordingly.

You can refer to this tutorial to learn how to use webhook.site to test webhook-based triggers -

I don't use a webhook, Im just using an integration between Calendly and Todoist applications. When an event is created on Calendly, a task is created on Todoist, simple !! but the task is created twice always.

The issue you are describing occurs when a user clicks on 'Save & Send Test Request' multiple times. This, in turn, creates multiple webhooks in Calendly, leading to the workflow being executed multiple times.

To fix this issue, you need to disable your current workflow and create a new one from scratch (without cloning). Make sure not to click on 'Save & Send Test Request' in the Calendly trigger step multiple times.
