Webhook Enrollment Intake Router with Validation

How it works

1. 1.Webhook Trigger accepts POST requests on path education-enrollment-intake-router-intake with response deferred to a response node.
2. 2.Normalize Input copies $json.body into a new input field and sets source to 'Enrollment Intake Router'.
3. 3.Validate Input checks that the input field is not empty and routes execution accordingly.
4. 4.The true branch sends a POST to https://api.example.com/... with a placeholder body parameter and then returns {"status": "accepted"}.
5. 5.The false branch returns {"status": "invalid"} directly with no external call.

Use cases

• Starter intake gateway that screens enrollment submissions before handing them to a backend service.
• Base template for validating inbound form payloads via webhook before downstream processing.

Requirements

• Activate the workflow so the webhook URL becomes reachable.
• Configure generic HTTP credentials for Forward To Service and replace the placeholder URL and REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_VALUE body parameter with real values.
• Access to an external service able to accept the forwarded POST requests.

Setup and testing in n8n

1. Send a POST request with an empty body to the webhook URL and confirm the {"status": "invalid"} response.
2. Send a POST request with a non-empty body and confirm the {"status": "accepted"} response after forwarding succeeds.
3. Inspect n8n execution logs to verify which branch and nodes ran in each case.
