Overview
This node operation allows you to set or update a webhook URL for an endpoint. It is useful in scenarios where you want to configure a callback URL that external services can use to send event notifications or data to your workflow automatically. For example, you might use this to register a webhook URL with a third-party service so that when certain events occur (like form submissions or payment confirmations), the service sends data directly to your n8n workflow via the configured webhook.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Hook Url | The webhook URL to set. Must be a string not exceeding 255 characters. This URL will be used by external services to send data to your workflow. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data reflecting the result of setting the webhook URL. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes confirmation details such as success status and possibly the updated webhook information. There is no indication that binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication (referred generically as "an API key credential").
- Depends on the external HideMail API service to manage email aliases and webhook URLs.
- The base URL and authorization token must be configured in the node credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Providing a webhook URL longer than 255 characters will likely cause validation errors.
- Incorrect or missing API credentials will result in authentication failures.
- Network connectivity issues may prevent successful communication with the external API.
- Error messages:
- Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or missing API tokens; verify credentials.
- Validation errors related to the webhook URL length require shortening the URL.
- Timeout or network errors suggest checking internet connection or API availability.
