Asked by News Desk Open

Setting up Zapier webhooks to call ChatGPT occasionally times out on long responses, causing duplicate tickets. Looking for best retry strategies and idempotency patterns.

Use an async job pattern: have Zapier POST a start request → your service immediately return 202 + job_id. Call ChatGPT server-side (with streaming/long-poll retries), then send a single completion webhook back to Zapier. Enforce idempotency with a deterministic idempotency_key (hash of user+prompt+time-window) stored in DB and reject duplicates. In Zapier, use Storage/delay/polling steps instead of relying on automatic webhook retries.
