i put a filter (boolean) is false as a filter to avoid posting duplicate messages between servers with my integration but dosen't work, previously without filter since i was posting between different server was getting in a loop of reposting the same messages over and over, so how should i setup the filter to avoid this double message loop?

Hi there @tuningstore71,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

Maybe you can try adding a unique identifier for each message, then add a filter step in your Zap. We have a help article that talks about to prevent Zap loops. You can read it here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496232045453

Hopefully, this points you to the right direction! 😊

unfortunatley there is no unique identifier of the message there is a way to tell zapier to not get triggered by the same message? or the same text because it’s reporting the message the bot generated in a loop and i thought that in the settings will be a way just to disable the same message to get reported from one discord server to  another
