## 

## **Problem running workflow**

even if i create a new app id every time it shows this error . there is no webhook subcription still every time i click on activate button it shows this message for every new app id i have created so far.

## What is the error message (if any)?

_The WhatsApp App ID_ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX _already has a webhook subscription. Delete it or use another App before executing the trigger. Due to WhatsApp API limitations, you can have just one trigger per App._

Hey @Blohardi go through this post and see if it relates or solves your query.

> Hi everyone, I’m trying to build a workflow with the WhatsApp Trigger in n8n, but I keep running into this error: The WhatsApp App ID XXXXX already has a webhook subscription. Delete it or use another App before executing the trigger. Due to WhatsApp API limitations, you can have just one trigger per App. I already checked the Meta Developers dashboard under WhatsApp → Configuration → Webhooks, and the Callback URL field is empty, so it looks like there’s no webhook configured on Meta’s side.…
