Known Errors

same request submitted within last minute

This error is indicative of a rate-limit.

One way this might happen is if you are in a CRM, and let's say you update a contact record like change someone's name. You click save. But there's another typo so you change it and click save again. If that save button was tied to a zap, then it would have sent the zap twice.

So ideally, you don't want to zap every time you click save maybe you only want to do it when you add a certain tag.

The error message 'same request sent in the last minute' is a big clue - - because typically when you send a request full of data over the internet, there are constraints. There can't be too big of a payload (of data) and you also typically cannot submit too many requests at once. Because, the computer you are requesting the action from costs money to run and there are also security concerns. This is very typical in sending messages (automations) over the internet and it's called a "Rate-Limit." So that error is indicative of a rate limit that's being hit and tells you right away that there are too many requests being sent too quickly.
