Stop webhooks from firing the same action twice

You’re the software engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Aug 6, 2026.

A workflow can be technically delivered and still be operationally unsafe.

Teams often balance recoverability after failures against the need to avoid repeating an action that already happened.

Who you’d be doing this for

“If it creates the case twice, my team has to clean up a mistake we didn’t make.”

Mariana Costa · Procurement Operations Manager

An operations leader whose team uses approved workbook workflows to create supplier-review cases in an external system.

What is at stake

Fault injection shows some timed-out deliveries are processed downstream before retries begin, so real actions run twice. You have to pick a delivery design you can defend once the public contract is fixed.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • broad destination support vs. dependable business effects
  • recoverability vs. duplicate-action prevention
  • launch momentum vs. irreversible public contract
  • automated analysis vs. verified delivery evidence

Why Sigma Computing

At Sigma Computing, it can matter when live analysis becomes an input to approved operational workflows.
