I have an application that sends notifications via webhooks. I want to process this notification in Node-RED. So I used a "http in"-Node in Node-RED, configured it with method POST and entered /webhook-test as URL. For testing purposes I only wired a debug node to it. Then I used the test-feature in the other application and triggered a notification. The "http in"-Node receives this information which is good, but it fires mutliple times in a time frame of something like 2 minutes. I tested with a public available Webhook-Test-Service ([https://webhook-test.com/](https://webhook-test.com/)), and there I get only one message as expected. What could be the reason that my http-in-Node fires multiple times? Of course I could overcome this with a delay-Node, but this is a dirty solution and does only fix the result but not the reason for this faulty behaviour.

Don't know.
Could you please provide the [flow code](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506), everything else is speculation without the flow code.
The http-in node definitely behaves as expected wherever I use the node.

The implication here is that something in your front-end code is triggering a 2nd post. The API test tool doesn't do it so it isn't a Node-RED issue, it has to be in your front-end.

Do you have a http response node configure with the http in node. If not your application may be resending due to not receiving a response.

This is the very simply flow

@TotallyInformation Why do you think it is a problem in the front-end? When I trigger the notification in the application und one system (([https://webhook-test.com/](https://webhook-test.com/)) behaves correct (only one message) and the other faulty (Node-RED, multiple messages), my guess would rather be that the problem is somewhere in my Node-RED flow ...

@E1cid Thanks! That was it! I had no http response node configured. After adding one, there is only one message finally. Sorry for this silly mistake ...

```auto
let pl = msg.payload.benchmarks.upload.passed;
let title = 'Speedtest Webhook Test';
let extras = '{"client::display":{"contentType":"text/markdown"}}';
let pljson = '{"message": "# ' + pl + '","priority": 9,"title": "' + title + '","extras": ' + extras + '}';
msg.payload = JSON.parse(pljson);
return msg;
```
Btw I had a quick look at your function node and you don't have to parse JSON strings:
```auto
let extras = { "client::display": { contentType: "text/markdown" } }
msg.payload = { message: "#" + pl, priority: 9, title: title, extras: extras }
```
should also work.

You are missing a HTTP-response node (every http-in should be paired with one)
Without this the client request will just be timed out and never get a response, which is likely to trigger it to try again
I suggest you wire a HTTP-response node directly to the HTTP-in node in parallel to the function node
