[Fagun Shah]

I have setup a workflow for New Post in Pabbly FB Group where trigger is New Post Only. But is triggering for New Commnets also,

How to stop that?

Hey @Fagun Shah

We checked your workflow "FB Group" and perhaps you might be counting the "Message" label as a comment on the API response. It is nothing but the Post name of the respective FB group. Else, we found nothing like a comment on FB's API response on your history.

FB Post -

API response -

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Here is what is happening -

It is triggering not only for New Posts but also for New Comments on old posts.

As you can see some post which are triggered in history are before I have created the workflow. And I tried this also by commenting on the Old Posts. So basically it looks like it is working as common trigger for New Posts and New Comments. But when it is trigger by new comment , it still sends the post data.

Hey @Fagun Shah
