Overview
This node provides an interface to update an existing webhook configuration within a specified project. It allows users to modify properties such as the webhook's name, URL, subscribed events, and activation status. This is useful in scenarios where webhook endpoints or event subscriptions need to be changed without recreating the webhook from scratch. For example, if your webhook URL changes due to infrastructure updates or you want to subscribe to additional event types, this node facilitates those updates seamlessly.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Webhook ID | The unique identifier of the webhook to update (required). |
| New webhook name | Optional new friendly name for the webhook. |
| New webhook URL | Optional new target URL where webhook events will be delivered. |
| New events subscription | Optional new list of events to subscribe to, provided as a comma-separated string (e.g., message.received,message.sent). |
| Enable or disable webhook | Optional boolean to activate (true) or deactivate (false) the webhook. |
| Project | Identifier of the project that owns the webhook (required). |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the API after updating the webhook. This typically includes the updated webhook details such as its ID, name, URL, subscribed events, active status, and possibly metadata like creation and modification timestamps. The output does not include binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- Needs the base URL of the messaging gateway API set in credentials.
- The project identifier must correspond to an existing project in the system.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Webhook ID: If the webhook ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error indicating the webhook was not found. Verify the webhook ID before running the node.
- Permission Denied: Insufficient permissions on the API key or project may cause authorization errors. Ensure the API key has rights to update webhooks in the specified project.
- Invalid URL Format: Providing an invalid URL format for the webhook URL may result in validation errors. Use a properly formatted URL.
- Empty Update: If no fields are provided to update (all optional fields left empty), the API might reject the request or perform no action. Provide at least one field to update.
- API Connectivity Issues: Network problems or incorrect API base URL settings can cause request failures. Check network connectivity and credential configurations.
