@AI Evy Retell is triggering multiple call analyzed how do we prevent this. its allowed to retry but we only want a single call analyzed sent to our endpoint

Thanks for tagging me @Clawmaster. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer The
call_analyzed
webhook can trigger multiple times by design [(1) ]() . This is expected behavior - only
call_started
and
call_ended
events are guaranteed to trigger exactly once . The webhook has a 10-second timeout and will retry up to 3 times if it doesn't receive a success status (2xx) within that window [(2) ]() . To prevent duplicate processing on your end, you should implement idempotency handling in your webhook endpoint using the
call_id
to track which calls you've already processed. Here's the recommended approach: 1. Return a 2xx status code immediately (within 10 seconds) to prevent retries 2. Use the
call_id
from the webhook payload to check if you've already processed this analysis 3. Store processed
call_id
values in your database or cache to deduplicate The webhook will POST with this structure :
Copy code
json
{
 "event": "call_analyzed",
 "call": {
 "call_id": "Jabr9TXYYJHfvl6Syypi88rdAHYHmcq6",
 // ... other call details
 }
}
Implement idempotency checks on your endpoint to ensure you only process each unique
call_id
once, even if Retell sends the webhook multiple times.

@AI Evy im not talking about that it retries, im talking about it actually triggers the event multiple times. so there is 2 (or more) cases of call analyzed being sent causing 3 retries for each trigger to the endpoint, is that also expected ?

Thanks for the follow-up, @Clawmaster. I'll get back to you soon.
### Answer Based on the sources, receiving multiple distinct
call_analyzed
events (not just retries) for the same call is not expected behavior [(1) ]() . The webhook should trigger once per event type per call, with up to 3 retries only if no success status is received . However, there's a documented case where a user experienced receiving 3x the same
call_analyzed
event [(2) ]() . The solution in that case was related to their webhook handling setup in Make.com - removing a trailing Webhook Response (200) module resolved the issue . When they tested with webhook.site, they only received 1
call_analyzed
event, confirming the problem was in their integration configuration, not Retell . To troubleshoot: 1. Test your webhook endpoint with a service like webhook.site to confirm whether you're receiving multiple distinct
call_analyzed
events from Retell or if it's an issue with your endpoint configuration 2. Ensure your endpoint returns a 2xx status code within 10 seconds to prevent legitimate retries [(1) ]() 3. Check your webhook integration platform (if using one) for any response handling or retry logic that might be causing duplication [(2) ]() If webhook.site shows you're genuinely receiving multiple distinct
call_analyzed
events from Retell for the same call, that would indicate an issue that should be reported to Retell support, as it's not documented as expected behavior [(1) ]() .
