Workflow Description

This workflow receives POST requests via a Webhook, copies the request body into an input field tagged with a source label, and checks that the input is not empty. Valid input triggers an HTTP POST to a placeholder external endpoint with a placeholder body, then returns an accepted response; empty input returns an invalid response without forwarding.

How it works

  1. 1.Webhook listens for POST requests on the configured path and defers the response to a response node.
  2. 2.A Set node maps the request body to an input field and adds a source label of Post-Resolution Checklist.
  3. 3.An IF node routes items based on whether input is non-empty.
  4. 4.An HTTP Request node POSTs to api.example.com using generic credentials with a placeholder body value that must be replaced.
  5. 5.A Respond to Webhook node returns accepted after forwarding, or invalid when input is empty.

Use cases

  • Front-door validation gate for post-resolution checklist submissions before sending them to an external system.
  • Filtering empty or malformed support form payloads at intake.

Requirements

  • Activate the workflow and replace the placeholder URL and body parameter with real values.
  • Configure Generic Credentials for the HTTP Request node and ensure the webhook path is unique.
  • Store the webhook URL securely since anyone with it can submit requests.

Setup and testing in n8n

  1. Send a POST request with a non-empty body and expect an accepted response plus a call to the forwarding endpoint.
  2. Send a POST request with an empty body and expect an invalid response with no outbound call.
