I am using a webhook to listen to events on Slack. Whenever I save a message, an action is triggered (a reaction is added, or a message is sent). However, the problem is that Slack is spamming the webhook with these actions, and any user on Slack can trigger them. As a result, this is quickly using up my cloud limit. Can you please advise on how to address this issue?
This is a bit of a tricky one, We are only going to process the events we are being sent from Slack and we don’t have any way to control what it is sending. Looking at your setting Slack should only be sending events for the users that have added the app although if the integration is added to a channel it might be doing a bit more. It might be worth reaching out to Slack to find out how you can restrict what they are sending.
Thank you for your response. I’ve noticed that most of the events being sent by Slack are of the “user_change” type. After reviewing the documentation, I realized that I don’t actually need these events. Hopefully, this should resolve the issue to a large extent.
