Troubleshoot Amazon SQS runtime errors

Use this guide to troubleshoot errors that occur at runtime when you use the Amazon SQS connector in Workato.

SQS processes duplicate messages

You may notice that Amazon SQS processes the same message twice. This happens when you use a standard queue. Standard queues deliver each message at least once, but duplicates and out-of-order delivery can occur due to the distributed system design.

Complete the following steps to resolve this error:

• Use a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queue type. Refer to Amazon SQS FIFO queues (opens new window) for more information.
• Configure exactly-once processing in Amazon SQS. Refer to Exactly-once processing in Amazon SQS (opens new window) in the Amazon documentation for instructions.
