Caregiver shift intake validation and forwarding webhook

How it works

1. 1.A webhook node listens for POST requests on the configured path and defers the response to response nodes.
2. 2.A Set node maps the request body to an input field and adds a fixed source string.
3. 3.An If node routes items based on whether the input field is non-empty.
4. 4.An HTTP Request node posts to the example.com URL using generic credential authentication with a placeholder body parameter.
5. 5.Respond to Webhook nodes return accepted after forwarding or invalid for empty input.

Use cases

• Entry point for receiving caregiver shift intake submissions before passing them to a homecare admin service.
• Base template to build input-presence validation and forwarding logic for shift data.

Requirements

• Activate the workflow so the webhook URL becomes callable.
• Replace the placeholder URL and body parameter value in the Forward To Service node with real values.
• Configure HTTP credentials of type genericCredentialType in n8n for the forwarding request.

Setup and testing in n8n

1. Send a POST request with a non-empty JSON body and verify an accepted response is returned.
2. Send a POST request with an empty or missing body and verify an invalid response is returned.
3. Confirm the external receiving service receives the forwarded payload after placeholders are replaced.
