when the product is added in the shopify dashboard getting add, update webhooks

Topic summary

Main issue: Creating a product in the Shopify admin triggers both products/create and products/update webhooks for the same product, instead of only products/create as expected.

Impact: Multiple webhook invocations lead to duplicate product records being added on the integrators’ side.

Details: Participants report that when a product is created, both products/create and products/update are called, sometimes multiple times. They are using both webhooks and observe repeated callbacks upon a single product creation.

Requests for guidance: • Why are both webhooks triggered on create? • How to prevent duplicate processing (e.g., best practices for deduplication or suppressing extra calls)? • Any configuration or workflow reason behind the multiple triggers?

Status: No resolution or confirmed explanation provided; the thread remains open.
