Events API timeouts (using glitch.com)

Description

I’m using the app_mention event like this:

app.event("app_mention", async ({ event, say}) => {
 (...)
 if (event.text.includes("hello")) {
await say(`something`)
}
(...)
});

However, occasionally my functions trigger multiple times (getting multiple slack posts on a single mention). This is probably caused by Slack getting no acknowledgement of message received within 3 seconds and retrying. From what I read, there’s no way to send an acknowledgement from an event like the above because Bolt does that automatically. Can I force this though to react as soon as possible so it doesn’t happen?

No, I think no action needed on your side. Thank you!
