Multiple Participant Left events received

API and Webhooks
1

Description
I had an instant meeting which had only 2 participants. After the non-host participant left, my JWT application with event notification feature kept receiving the same meeting.participant_left event for multiple times.

For example, the following meeting.participant_left event, my application received it 4 times within 2.5 hours.

Hey @heidi.zh.n,

This is most likely happening because you are not sending a 200 OK response back.

If Zoom does not get a 200 OK response after sending a Webhook, it assumes it failed, and will retry a few times.
