Webhook data quality checklist intake and forwarder
Loading workflow…
Workflow Description
A template workflow that receives POST payloads on a webhook path, normalizes the body into input and source fields, checks that input is non-empty, forwards a placeholder body to an external HTTP endpoint, and replies with JSON status responses.
How it works
- 1.Webhook Trigger accepts POST requests on the configured path using responseNode mode.
- 2.Normalize Input copies the request body into an input field and sets source to a fixed label.
- 3.Validate Input checks that input is not empty and routes true/false branches.
- 4.Forward To Service sends a POST with a placeholder parameter to a hardcoded example URL using generic credentials.
- 5.Respond Success returns accepted JSON; Respond Invalid returns invalid JSON.
Use cases
- Starter pattern for validating inbound data quality checklist submissions before forwarding.
- Template for webhook intake with immediate JSON acknowledgment responses.
Requirements
- Replace the example.com URL and placeholder body value with real service details.
- Configure generic credential type authentication for the HTTP request node.
- Activate the workflow so the webhook path becomes available in n8n.
Setup and testing in n8n
- POST a request with empty body and confirm the invalid JSON response.
- POST a request with a non-empty body and verify forwarding succeeds with an accepted response.
- Inspect the execution log to confirm the branch taken by the IF node.
