One GET Http call - Multiple executions

Questions

Hello everyone! I just started using n8n and it looks awesome. I have been using a platform its name starting with Z for quite some time and it got very expensive very fast :slight_smile:)
I am hoping I can get some help here.
I have a webhook setup, which a camera tether software is sending data to. from what I can see one trigger on the app side, results in 8 executions on the n8n node. I need to pass the data to that are coming at the 2nd execution only. Any other datas/executions are not needed. Can any one help me accomplish that ? I am sorry for the rookie question here :slight_smile:
Thanks

Hi Berty, we can’t import your code due to how the forum interprets text. When you copy code into the forum, you need to first click on the </> icon above the forum text input box and then paste your code inside.

Hey @Berti,

Have you checked the data that is being sent? I don’t think the issue is with your workflow as it should only be executing when an http request comes in.

I suspect what is happening is there are actually multiple requests being sent over that 5 second period, what software are you using and is it set to only trigger on certain actions or is it something like any movement detected?

Jon, I was able to filter messages to only get one block instead of plenty! Thank you for the response!

Glad to hear you sorted it out, many thanks for confirming @Berti!

Everyone in this post I want to thank you for your input. I am trying to build a workflow and I realize I am far from being good in JS and proper formatting. So, any of you here willing to help me of course I am more than happy to pay for your time and talent?

The workflow looks like this:

Webhook ----> Webhook Data (string split) ---->Use the string split result to Search Airtable table ----->An IF condition —>Certain Airtable fields ‘IsEmpty’ than Update two fields in the Airtable record found previously OR False —> Do nothing.
I am loving this thing and I do realize good things dont come easy :slight_smile:

THanks again!
