Whatsapp trigger only for messages received

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m creating a WhatsApp bot using the WhatsApp trigger node set to detect messages. The issue is that every time I send a message or the user reads it, the workflow is triggered, consuming my entire execution quota.

Is there a way to configure the trigger so it only activates when a new message is actually received?

Please share your workflow

Good news, guys @eduazzolin @garmanetti

This feature was released with version 1.84.0
It’s still a pre-release so I would wait a few more weeks until you can update to the latest release.

I believe this will solve this issue once and for all :tada:

:point_right: If my reply answers your question, please remember to mark it as a solution.
