Slack trigger is being triggered falsely

Describe the problem/error/question

I created a workflow that will watch for “File Shared” in specific channel on Slack. The problem is that slack is always triggering whether it was a file or a single message. Since the channel also receive notifications, sometimes it goes into a loop of triggers.

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @baraapro
welcome back to the n8n community :wave:

It seems like there’s a bug with the Slack Trigger, thanks for noticing and reporting that. I already created a ticket in our internal system.

In the meantime (to solve your problem) you could use an IF node after the trigger to only let actual File Uplad event pass through:

Let me know if that helps!

Ok Thanks. While you’re on it, please also check why the trigger fires multiple times a second.
