Webhooks for old orders fired now

Webhook is fired via the WP Cron. The WP Cron relies on traffic to your site to fire, so if you do not have traffic the execution can queue up and then when you all of a sudden get some traffic the queue will start processing again, this can cause delayed delivery of your webhooks.

Also since WooCommerce 3.5 we now use the new WC_Queue class for delivering Webhooks which has a retry for failed events, so it could be a combination of this and the traffic causing old webhooks to retry much later and then finally being delivered.

But we’re talking about duplicate webhooks, these were fired at their time (months ago).

I had to pause the webhooks individually in order not to bother customers.

Was there a database restore done or something like that?

No, nothing. It was completely random. Like a cron job to re-save orders.

In the webhook script I have a filter that only fires the e-mails when the order was done at checkout. I do this in order to prevent firing e-mails when I update an order. This makes it ever weirder.

This is off-topic. Please start a new thread. Also, please ensure that your product has a price set.

Kind regards,

So…this is interesting. Is your webhook triggered on “Order updated”?

Yes!

It sounds like this is most likely related to the issue here https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/22087 There is a pull request open against that issue here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/pull/22088

I would expect that PR to be merged into the next update to WooCommerce. Unfortunately, I can not provide an ETA on when that update will be released but you can keep an eye on your available updates or the changelog here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/CHANGELOG.txt

Thank you!
