Problem with Event Trigger

Hi!
The function is triggered, when there is 'databases..collections..documents.*.update'
but I see that the function is being executed times. Do you know why?

That function will be executed anytime any document in any database and collection is being updated

1. Document updated --> 2. Function executed BUT why 3 times at once?

What does the function do

Does it by any chance update any document

It creates a summary of all markdown files, that are existing in the db

Are you updating any document during that process

it actually replaces the image names with their URLs, after getting the md content

There you have it

Thanks!

[SOLVED] Problem with Event Trigger

why exactly is it being executed 3 times? Not 4 or more, for example 😄

Don't quote me on this but as far as I remember they have some measures in place to prevent infinite loop. Not totally sure tho

Problem with Event Trigger

Hi! Unfortunately, it is happening the same, when just adding new documents, not changing/updating them. Do you probably have any solution? (using Python)

Log the event string to see what event is causing it

Sorry for the stupid question (as a beginner), but how to do this?

Retrieve the event string from the header x-appwrite-event

Do you know how to extract headers in python functions?
