Compliance Document Checklist Webhook Intake Router
Loading workflow…
Workflow Description
The workflow receives POST requests on a fixed webhook path, normalizes the request body into an input field tagged with a source label, and checks that it is not empty. Valid payloads are forwarded to a placeholder external API using generic HTTP credentials, returning an accepted JSON response; invalid payloads return an invalid JSON response immediately. It is an inactive template with placeholder values that require user configuration.
How it works
- 1.A webhook accepts POST requests at legal-admin-compliance-document-checklist-intake and defers the response to a respond node.
- 2.A Set node copies the request body into input and adds a source field labeled Compliance Document Checklist.
- 3.An If node checks that input is not empty and routes execution to the appropriate branch.
- 4.The true branch sends a POST to api.example.com with a placeholder body value that must be replaced.
- 5.Respond to Webhook nodes return JSON statuses: accepted after forwarding and invalid on failed validation.
Use cases
- A starter skeleton for legal-admin intake flows that validate webhook payloads before backend submission.
- A reference pattern for input validation branching with immediate JSON responses.
Requirements
- Replace the api.example.com URL and the REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_VALUE placeholder body with real values.
- Configure generic credential type HTTP credentials for the Forward To Service node.
- Activate the workflow manually since it ships inactive, and expose the webhook path to sending systems.
Setup and testing in n8n
- POST to the webhook path with a non-empty body and expect an accepted response.
- POST with an empty or missing body and expect an invalid response.
- Verify the forwarded request reaches the external service and that credentials are configured correctly.
