Slack Incoming Web Hooks - Send message ONLY once

I push a lot (10Ks) of messages to Slack channel webhooks each month. It's not uncommon for the Slack API to return network errors, like ECONNRESET, meaning I don't know if the message was sent or not.

You can resend (POST) to the Slack chat.postMessage endpoint, but that might deliver the message twice.

Is there a way to idempotently send a Slack message once to a channel using Slack webhooks?

Slack Webhooks provide a very limited set of functionality. Idempotency is not one of them.
