Workflow Description

The workflow receives POST requests on a dedicated webhook path, normalizes the payload, checks that the input is non-empty, and forwards it to an external HTTP service using generic credentials. It then replies to the caller with an accepted or invalid JSON status. The outbound URL and body value are placeholders that must be replaced before real use.

How it works

  1. 1.Webhook Trigger listens for POST requests on healthcare-admin-document-checklist-reminder-intake with response deferred to a response node.
  2. 2.Normalize Input copies the request body into an input field and adds a source label without discarding existing fields.
  3. 3.Validate Input checks whether input is not empty and routes execution to the forward or reject path.
  4. 4.Forward To Service sends a POST to api.example.com with a placeholder body parameter and genericCredentialType authentication.
  5. 5.Respond Success and Respond Invalid return JSON statuses of accepted or invalid respectively.

Use cases

  • Collect external system notifications about missing documents and hand them to a follow-up service.
  • Central intake point for document reminders before integration with an internal API.
  • Starter template for validating inbound payloads before forwarding to administrative systems.

Requirements

  • Activate the workflow and make the n8n instance reachable so the webhook can be called.
  • Replace the placeholder URL in Forward To Service with the real endpoint.
  • Configure credentials for the HTTP request node since genericCredentialType requires selecting a concrete auth type and key.
  • Replace the placeholder body parameter value with an actual payload field if needed.

Setup and testing in n8n

  1. Send a POST request with a non-empty JSON body to the webhook path and expect an accepted response.
  2. Send a POST with an empty body and expect an invalid response.
  3. Inspect the Forward To Service node in the execution log to confirm the outbound request details.
  4. Verify the correct credential is selected before testing real forwarding.
