Why is Pabbly creating multiple posts when I update a single Product?

[Mr Trendy]

I connected my socials to pabbly, so whenever I update or create a product, it can be shared to my socials.
It's like pabbly is autosaving in different stages them when I click update/publish on wordpress, I get like 5 posts with the first one without an image and half text, then the other one full text no image, then another one with image then another one for Updated product when what I was doing is Publishing not updating, then the correct one at last.
I hope you understand.
Kindly help. Thanks

Hi @Mr Trendy,

'WooCommerce: Product Updated' trigger step gets executed on any new update you make to your product in WooCommerce no matter how minor it is. Therefore, your workflow could get triggered multiple times.

You should use the 'New Product Created' trigger event instead, which will trigger only once for a new product.

Hello.

I have already created that one. I wanted 2 triggers. One for when a product is created and another when a product is updated.
I was able to fix triggering multiple times by disabling auto-save on the editor.

However, I'm facing a new issue.

When I update a product status to "Out Of Stock", the workflow triggers and posts the item.
Is there a way to create the exemption for out of stock product updates?

We have added a filter as step 2 of your workflow, which will prevent the next steps from being executed if the workflow is triggered for 'outofstock' updates.
