Hello!
I have an automation that loops through item and subitems and creates them on another board. However, for items with many subitems (In my example, 25 subitems), the automation keeps repeating itself—resulting in duplicate items and subitems being created on the new board.
Interestingly, each execution completes successfully, but additional unwanted repetitions continue afterward.
Possible Cause: Short-Lived Token Expiration & Auto-Retries
My current theory is that the short-lived token expires during execution, causing Monday.com to register the request as failed. As a result, Monday automatically retries the process, inadvertently triggering a loop. This could explain why some items with more subitems are affected while simpler ones complete correctly.
Questions I Need Help With:
- Is the shortLivedtoken expiration causing this issue?
- Would making the automation faster prevent expiration-related failures?
- Should I use a longer-lived token to ensure stability?
- Are there other potential causes for this looping behavior?
I’d love any insights on whether this is indeed token-related or if there’s another explanation for this repeating execution. Thanks in advance!
