I'm encountering a persistent issue where one of my functions, acting as a webhook endpoint, is not executing the latest active deployment when triggered by an external service.

Environment:

Appwrite Version: Appwrite Cloud

Function Runtime: Node.js (using ES Modules)

Trigger Type: External HTTP POST request from the Razorpay payment gateway.

Problem Description: I have an Appwrite Function (verifyPayment) that serves as a webhook to confirm payments from Razorpay. The function has been deployed and has public execute access (any).

When I trigger the function manually from the Appwrite Console ("Execute now"), it correctly runs the latest active deployment.

However, when the function is triggered by the Razorpay webhook (an external POST request to the function's domain), it consistently executes an old, cached version of the code.

TL;DR
Developers experiencing issue with webhook-triggered function not executing latest deployment when triggered by Razorpay. Function runs correctly manually in Appwrite Console but executes old cached code when triggered externally. **Solution:** This issue likely arises from the function being cached by Cloudflare CDN. Disable caching for the function domain or leverage query strings for unique API calls to bypass caching.
