VerifiedA Webhook is a kind of reverse API: rather than n8n actively requesting an external service, it provides a dedicated URL externally, and when any service initiates an HTTP request to that address, the n8n workflow can be triggered.80% similarUnverifiedn8n workflows are typically started by a Trigger node (such as a Webhook, timer, or form submission event), and subsequent nodes receive the JSON data output by the upstream node and process it item by item, ultimately pushing results to downstream systems via Slack, email, or HTTP requests.78% similarVerifiedWhen n8n passes back results, the HTTP Request node should be used rather than the Respond to Webhook node77% similarUnverifiedn8n's Webhook supports HTTP methods such as GET, POST, and PUT, and request data is automatically parsed into three parts: body, query, and headers.76% similarUnverifiedWhen n8n imports workflow JSON, it regenerates webhook paths, because n8n requires each webhook path to be unique within an instance and automatically appends a random suffix on conflict.74% similar
