Thank you!
You can always manually cancel all scheduled runs of a task in the dashboard, but to debounce these you'll need to record the scheduled job id somewhere in the database to record that it's already been run, and decide whether to schedule a new task based on if there's already one running (or one already ran) for a given webhook input.
thanks @ballingt i was thinking about that approach
that way you can maybe avoid scheduling the duplicate in the first place, since the second time the webhooks lands you can avoid running it
