 * This plugin is generating multiple update notifications in Slack for other plugin
   updates. Is it possible to code in a check to avoid this behaviour or limit notifications
   to e.g. once an hour for the same event?

 * Hi! It should only send the update notifications once a week. Knowing when the
   last one was sent is dependent upon transients, though. Could there be anything
   deleting or interfering with transients?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Rachel,
 * Thanks for your reply. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?
 * I use the “Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions” to delete transients, 
   but this is done manually (about once a week) so that shouldn’t be affecting 
   it.
 * Here’s an example of multiple notifications.
 * I’ve just had an update notification for [http://transitiontruro.org.uk](http://transitiontruro.org.uk)
   for this plugin direct to Slack. If I log in to wpremote (which I use on all 
   my sites) that generates another notification. Logging into the Transition Truro
   website generates a third, and going to plugins list from the admin menu another
   two. Same behaviour on [http://gofa.org.uk](http://gofa.org.uk)
 * Perhaps there are issues with Bulletproof Security Pro (also used on all my sites)
   though AFAIK this doesn’t remove transients, or with Comet Cache (previously 
   known as Quick Cache/Zen Cache)?
 * However, both the above sites are installed in subdirectories rather than the
   root of the domain, and a couple I’ve updated this morning that aren’t in sub
   directories only generate the one notification. I’ll see if this pattern remains
   the same as I update other sites.
 * All the best,
 * Rob Follett

 * I haven’t heard about this happening from anyone else.
 * So this is happening on a multisite install and you’re getting the same notifications
   for each of your different sites on the network?

 * Not on a multisite install.
 * On the two separate sites mentioned above (and also on a third) with multiple
   instances of the same update notification being posted to Slack for each site.
