Firinig a flow more than on time

What are you trying to achieve?

to stop the flow from firing mor than one time per submission

Steps taken so far

I am sure that the webhook is fired only once by the Redmine ticket system. The only problem is that the top arm you see in the photo keeps repeating for no reason, even though there is a filter requiring the field to contain the words “Alert, missing info.” Later, in Airtable, the flow keeps creating the same field again. i do appriciate any hint or help. thank you in advance

Hi @Imad_Zamrik and welcome to the Make Community!

The best way to help is to share the information of a execution that exhibits this behavior.

In particular, to understand which part of your flow could be generating more than one bundle. You should see that by looking at the history of your executions. Normally, all your modules should have (1) beside them:

If they have a (2) or more, that’s where you need to look to discover the problem. It’s possible that the Airtable module returns more than one valu and the filter does not do what you think it does.

Welcome to the Make community!

Your screenshot is too low-res, but I suspect that your Parse JSON module is outputting more than one bundle.

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

1. All Relevant Screenshots

We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.

It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:

  • the full scenario,
  • the zoomed in section of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
  • a full scenario run/execution (showing output bubbles),
  • any error messages,
  • individual module fields,
  • relevant filter settings (conditions), and
  • each module’s output bundles
  • any external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, regex101.com, etc.)

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and avoid tracking cookies from third-party websites.

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

3. Module Output Bundles

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
Here are some ways to provide text content in a way that it won’t be modified by the forum.

  • Method 1: Type code fence manually
    Add three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,

    ```
    text goes here
    ```
    
  • Method 2: Highlight and click the “preformatted text” button in the editor

  • Method 3: Upload your file and share the public link
    (this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.

scenario.blueprint (6).json (506.8 KB) Thanks for your help. This is my blueprint. I don’t understand why it keeps running more than once when the webhook is only fired once. Keep in mind that I need the custom fields in Redmine to be separated, and each field will be filled later according to the AI result.

Hi, I am sorry for misunderstanding the solution help mentioned steps. I will now submit a full and very clear explanation. First of all, I could see from the history the part of the flow that was fired multiple times. It is enclosed in the photos, as well as in the output files. I guess the problem is that the custom fields are an array, right? i do appriciate your help, if more details are needed please let me know

It looks like your Parse JSON module (164) could be producing multiple output bundles if it’s receiving an array as input. Normally, we wouls see that at the Anthropic module but it has a stop sign instead of a number, son it’s unclear. But the fact that the first three modules only run once indicates that they are probably not the ones causing a problem.

The files you provided indicate that there is only one output bundle in all the cases, so I can’t be sure.

What is the output bundle of this HTTP module?

, and you also did not provide a screenshot of the full scenario run (but only the first three modules).

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
