## Problem
App/logic-function crons occasionally fire **twice, ~1 minute apart**.
The most visible symptom is a notification cron sending the same Discord
DM (or channel post) at e.g. `17:00` and again at `17:01`.
## Root cause
`CronTriggerCronJob` runs every minute (`* * * * *`) and re-dispatches
any logic function whose pattern is "due" according to `shouldRunNow`:
```ts
const diff = Math.abs(prevTriggerDate.getTime() - now.getTime());
return diff < rootCronIntervalMs; // 60_000
```
The detection window (`60_000ms`) is **equal to** the 60s tick interval.
So when a root tick drifts across a minute boundary (runs slightly
early/late, or BullMQ fires a catch-up), two adjacent ticks can both see
the *same* trigger as "within the last 60s" and each enqueue a
`LogicFunctionTriggerJob`. The dispatch isn't idempotent, so the
function runs twice.
## Fix
Make dispatch idempotent, keyed on the trigger itself:
- New `getMatchingTriggerTimestamp(pattern, now)` returns the epoch-ms
of the matched trigger (stable regardless of *when* within the window
the root job runs), or `null`. `shouldRunNow` now delegates to it —
behaviour unchanged.
- Before enqueuing, `CronTriggerCronJob` claims a
`logic-function-cron:{workspace}:{function}:{triggerTs}` key in the
`EngineLock` cache. A second tick that resolves to the same trigger
finds the key and skips.
Distinct triggers always have distinct timestamps (hence distinct keys),
so a later legitimate run is never suppressed. The TTL (2 min) only
needs to outlive the detection window.
## Notes
- `WorkflowCronTriggerCronJob` uses the same `shouldRunNow` pattern and
has the same latent double-dispatch; left out of this PR to keep it
focused, but the new helper makes the same guard a small follow-up.
- The cache `get`-then-`set` isn't atomic; for the observed failure mode
(ticks ~1 min apart, sequential) it's reliable. A Redis `SET NX` would
also close the rare concurrent-multi-instance race.
## Test plan
- [x] `should-run-now.utils.spec.ts` extended: two ticks within one
window resolve to the same timestamp; out-of-window and invalid patterns
return `null`. All 8 pass.
- [x] `oxlint --type-aware` + `oxfmt` clean on changed files.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
