Question for Asana team: I am syncing a google sheet with Asana tasks using webhooks. Problem is that I often get duplicate events, flooding the server script leading to timeouts, in addition to the unnecessary performance hit. Why would I get multiple events with identical created_at value, on the…

@johnnygoodnow any idea why there are duplicate webhook callbacks?

Hello everybody, I am trying to set up webhooks to give notifications. I am created a webhook and am listening to stories coming in. However, I will often get the same story multiple times and this causes my app to send multiple of the same notifications to my users. Is there a way around this? Tha…

Asana’s webhooks are known to be “noisy” in that they do often generate multiple webhooks for the same event. You’re going to have to deal with that on your end, I’m afraid.

I am facing the same issue. Duplication in receiving response for create task. I have created a task and getting 3 response for the same task. can anyone give me a solution for resolving this. And i am 200% confirm that there is no duplication webhooks

Asana is essentially sending a bunch of information I didn’t ask for. I wish there was a way to create webhooks that sends only events from a specified parent an…

Ok, I think I might have actually set up my webhook incorrectly. I’m attempting to receive events only when a task is added to a specific project but I’m also receiving events for things like a task being assigned to a user in that project. I’m using the Node client to set up the webhook which look…

Try putting quotation marks around your filter parameters, as in: "filters": { "resource_type": "task", "action": "added" } Does that help?
