Describe the problem/error/question

Hi everyone, I have published my workflow (I have made it active) using a whatsapp webhook which is being triggered every time I send a message to a number. For some reason, whenever the webhook is triggered the workflow fires 4 times, it fires once and then fires 3 times simultaneously. Does anyone know how to fix this? My workflow is below.

Hi @thecookie3,

This is because Whatsapp is sending you the statuses for “sent”, “delivered” and “read”. If you only want to continue on actual messages, just add an IF node to check for the message object in the triggered payload
