Legal Matter Intake Webhook Router with Validation
Loading workflow…
Workflow Description
The workflow receives legal matter intake data via a POST to a webhook path, normalizes the payload into input and source fields, and checks that the input is not empty. Valid input is forwarded over HTTP to an external service using generic credentials and answered with accepted status; empty input receives an invalid response without forwarding.
How it works
- 1.Receive the request on webhook path legal-admin-matter-intake-router-intake with response deferred to a response node
- 2.Normalize Input copies the request body into an input field and sets source to the template name
- 3.Validate Input checks that the input string is not empty
- 4.Forward To Service sends a POST to api.example.com with a placeholder body using genericCredentialType authentication
- 5.Respond Success returns accepted, while Respond Invalid returns invalid
Use cases
- Front-door gate for legal matter intake requests before they reach a case management system
- Basic completeness check on submitted intake data before external forwarding
- Adaptable template for similar intake-and-forward scenarios
Requirements
- Activate the workflow so the webhook can receive requests
- Configure HTTP generic credentials on the Forward To Service node
- Replace the placeholder URL and body value with real endpoint and payload settings
Setup and testing in n8n
- Send a POST with a non-empty body to the webhook path and verify the accepted response
- Send a POST with an empty body and verify the invalid response
- Review execution logs to confirm the correct branch ran in each case
