Automate creates 2 identical events when a new form is submitted

Posted on by kterlizzi

I created a form for colleagues to fill out information about groups visiting our organization. When a new form is submitted Power Automate then adds a new event to our shared Outlook calendar. When I test the form a single event is created. However, when the form is filled out by myself or someone in our organization 2 identical events are created. I think it has to do with the conditional I put in. We have two "types" of visitors and the calendar event needs to be slightly different depending on if the visitor is a member or not. Any help on why Automate is creating two events instead of one would be really helpful.

Try to investigate if you got 2 equal events because of the flow runs twice.

Yes, they are equal events and the flow runs twice based on the Run History:

Try to find the difference between first and second ones. Compare the trigger outputs of them.

The only difference in the trigger output that I found was the "webhookID" and very slight difference in "event time"
First trigger:
    "body": {
        "webhookId": "ff240a1b-4fb0-4d86-9bd2-f0ee81403954",
        "eventType": "ResponseAdded",
        "resourceData": {
            "formId": "CeoxMYpEiUKwkSoYsX7iInfQjE4a1FtIpyJTCTO-TllUQ0owQ05ERUxVTkJSNUdSMlVRM0k5OEM5Sy4u",
            "responseId": 12
        },
        "eventTime": "2022-04-13T16:35:18.8398441Z"
Second trigger:
    "body": {
        "webhookId": "10c5f62f-97ea-4cb4-8256-482eca4242b5",
        "eventType": "ResponseAdded",
        "resourceData": {
            "formId": "CeoxMYpEiUKwkSoYsX7iInfQjE4a1FtIpyJTCTO-TllUQ0owQ05ERUxVTkJSNUdSMlVRM0k5OEM5Sy4u",
            "responseId": 12
        },
        "eventTime": "2022-04-13T16:35:18.8242180Z"

I have no idea what any of this stuff means, but am very curious to figure it out.
