Hello, i want to update flows remotely. So i have this flow , i first send a get request to take the new flows ,then i check if the new flows are the same with the current ones. If the new flows are not the same with the current ones i post them with POST/flows . The problem is that the flow keep repeating it's self and sending request all the time and i don't know why.

The inject node was the problem. Sometimes obvious things are not that obvious
