At-risk student webhook intake with CRM and owner notification

How it works

1. 1.The Form Webhook node listens for POST requests on education-at-risk-student-monitor-form with responseMode set to responseNode.
2. 2.The Normalize Form node maps the request body into an input field and adds a source field set to At-Risk Student Monitor.
3. 3.The Required Fields IF node checks that input is not empty and branches into two paths.
4. 4.On the true path, Create CRM Record posts to an external API endpoint, Notify Owner then posts to a notification endpoint, and Respond OK returns {"status": "created"}.
5. 5.On the false path, Respond Missing returns {"status": "missing-fields"}.

Use cases

• Capturing at-risk student referral forms from an external site into a CRM.
• Notifying a designated owner or advisor as soon as a new referral arrives.

Requirements

• Both HTTP Request nodes use genericCredentialType authentication and require valid credentials plus a real auth type to be configured.
• All placeholder URLs on api.example.com and the REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_VALUE body values must be replaced with real endpoints and payloads.
• The workflow must be activated in n8n for the webhook to accept requests.

Setup and testing in n8n

1. POST a request with a non-empty body and verify the {"status": "created"} response and that both HTTP requests executed.
2. POST a request with an empty body and verify the {"status": "missing-fields"} response.
3. Inspect the n8n execution log to confirm the correct branch was taken.
