Hey @paulwer,
I have just set up a simple trigger using the GMail node with a 1 minute interval set, I will report back in 10 minutes with the findings.
Hey @paulwer,
Testing results are in... I have only have 2 runs. The first one was a manual execution and the second was a well timed message from a recruiter on LinkedIn.
Not sure why I am not seeing the same thing, I guess looking at the report I should have an execution every minute with the LinkedIn message in it.
Is there maybe more to this? What settings do you have enabled in the node? This is what I have been using.

It not happens all the time. right now its working, but yesterday there were many executions, which does have duplicates. I currently save the id to a database, to prevent duplicates within my flow.
This issue caused an exhessive call of a payed api (mindee) within the last days in my case.
@Joffcom i am downloading the attachements. wild guess: maybe this causes a long executiontime and therefore overlaps with the next execution?
Edit: according to the code, this could realy be possible. Maybe the webhook_data should be updated right after the first fetch of all messages. I assume, binary data is downloaded later within the for-loop. Please check and verify if this is a thing?
Hey @paulwer,
I think we base the fetching on the current date / time so when the node runs it would be something like lastRunTime - 1 minute we then check the inbox for anything with a time that matches that. Looking at the video though I did notice that the email Date field was Invalid DateTime so I am just doing another test with Simplify Disabled to see if that changes anything.
Will be back in 10 minutes.
Alright, Last update before lunch...
With file downloading it is all good as well 🤔 will think of more tests to try and reproduce it.
thank you very much, i am here, if you need me anything to try or for questions. :)
Hey @paulwer,
Oddly enough I got back from lunch and there was a newsletter that came in and I have 13 executions for it, Now I have seen it I just need to find a way to force it to happen so that we can work out how to fix it.
Afternoon @paulwer,
Just checked my workflow and it has happened again but this time I didn't have the download option set. It was also an email from Costco so no real pattern there yet.
I have created an internal ticket for this one though which we will be tracking as NODE-320.
Thanks for the information. Looking forward for next informations. Have a nice day.
Oddly enough I was just testing another issue and an email from Costco has again appeared multiple times, I am starting to thing this is related to specific email senders or properties.
