Webhook firing multiple times

Webhook firing multiple times

Hi,

 

been struggling with this for a few days. 

 

I have an uninstall webhook, but it gets fired repeatedly. I'm using koa-shopify-webhooks package and I have the following code:

 

receiveWebhook({
      path: '/webhooks/uninstall',
      secret: [SHOPIFY-SECRET],
      // called when a valid webhook is received
      onReceived(ctx) {
        ctx.response.status = 200
        ctx.response.body = 'success'
        
        ctx.res.status = 200
        ctx.res.body = 'success'
        
        ctx.status = 200
        ctx.body = 'success'
        console.log('received webhook: ', ctx.state.webhook.topic,ctx.state.webhook.domain);
        
      },
    }),

As you can see I've tried multiple ways of setting the status and body of the response (all pulled from different documentation sources), however the repeated hooks persist.

 

I have previously console logged each before and after to ensure they were set correctly.

 

I am using an ngrok address currently for testing - just in case this is relevant. 

 

Looking at the ngrok logs it looks like it's still not returning the 200

Thanks for any insight from koa veterans!

Hey @reecewilliams,

 

Duplicate webhooks usually occur when your app takes too long (> 5s) to respond to Shopify, so it's assumed the delivery failed and Shopify retries. If you can provide the X-Request-ID from the request headers of a webhook that's fired more than once, I can check our logs to confirm.

Do webhook requests contain an `X-Request-ID` header? I don't it listed in the documentation, or when inspected locally.

Hi @_JB 

 

I can't see an X-Request-ID on any of the webhook headers. Will this be anywhere else in the request? 

 

Thanks,

Reece

Hey @reecewilliams @traderkrut ,

 

My apologies, looks like webhooks don't contain that header. If you can provide the resource id and an approximate timeframe from when you saw the duplicate, I can use that to find the result in our logs.

There were several re-attempts around 3 hours ago.

 

Just to confirm, the koa package is returning with a 302 status code. My assumption is that this is throwing it off. Is this not the case?
