How it behaves
- The first edit fires; further edits to the same note within 300 seconds are dropped. The cooldown is per note, and starts fresh each time the workflow is turned on.
- This is not a trailing debounce: an edit made during the cooldown is reported only if another edit arrives after the cooldown ends.
- Repeated deliveries of the same event are detected with Attio’s
Idempotency-Keyheader. A delivery without that header is not deduplicated. - If the app cannot check whether it already handled the event or whether the cooldown applies, it starts the run anyway rather than drop the event, so a run can repeat. If it cannot confirm that the event came from Attio, the event is dropped and no run starts.
Limits and constraints
- Cooldown: 300 seconds per note.
