Internal Request Intake Router via Webhook

How it works

1. 1.Webhook Trigger accepts POST requests on the configured path with responseNode mode.
2. 2.Normalize Input copies body into input and adds a source field naming the template.
3. 3.Validate Input checks that input is not empty and splits execution into two branches.
4. 4.The true branch sends an HTTP POST to api.example.com with a placeholder body parameter that must be replaced.
5. 5.Respond Success and Respond Invalid return JSON bodies with status accepted or invalid.

Use cases

• Unified intake endpoint for internal requests before handing them to a processing service.
• Filtering empty submissions and immediately notifying the caller of the outcome.
• Starter template for building customized internal routing pipelines.

Requirements

• Activate the workflow in n8n so the webhook path becomes reachable.
• Replace the placeholder URL and REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_VALUE body parameter with real service values.
• Configure a genericCredentialType HTTP credential in n8n for the Forward To Service node.
• Allow network access from the n8n host to the destination service.

Setup and testing in n8n

1. Send a POST to the webhook path with a non-empty body and verify an accepted response.
2. Send a POST with an empty or missing body and verify an invalid response.

Service Value

Ready-made workflow template for automation delivery and service execution.
