Atlassian Workflow is triggered multiple times because of duplicate Webhook

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using n8n to trigger some database actions based on Atlassian Jira Triggers. I was wondering why every modification results in multiple actions when I noticed, that n8n creates the same webhook multiple times:

The URLs are exactly the same and their last edit dates are a week apart (at least fits until May 25th).

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.98.2
  • Database (default: SQLite): postgresdb
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): own
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
  • Operating system: Ubuntu Server 18.04

Update:
I just found out, that the webhook seems to get created in Atlassian each time n8n is restarted. Since I have watchtower set to update the container once a week, this resulted in the pattern of one webhook per week. Is there a way to disable the (re-)creation of the webhook?

Also I just updated to 1.99.1 and the problem persists

I keep having to delete duplicate webhooks. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Yes I have the same issue and I am using the cloud version!

Same issue here. Every time n8n is restarted i get multiple webhooks created in JIRA for each workflow that uses the trigger. The process which is registering the webhook during workflow activation should be checking first to make sure the same webhook doesn’t already exist as it causes JIRA to post to n8n multiple times for each event.

hello, same problem here.
I just cleaned dozens of webhook from n8n.

The webhook should be created once with a name that can be set in the node.
Every app that is connected to my Jira has a readable name (marker_io for example)
And the url must be check before creation of a new webhook.

FYI, n8n has been duplicating webhooks for years. At least 2 years.
