Syndie webhook trigger with OAuth integration

Overview

This node acts as a webhook trigger for Syndie, integrating with its OAuth-secured API. When an event occurs in Syndie that matches the configured webhook, this node receives the data and triggers an n8n workflow. It also registers the webhook URL with a backend service by sending the webhook ID to a specified backend URL.

Common scenarios include automating workflows based on Syndie events such as content syndication updates or automation triggers within Syndie’s platform. For example, when new content is syndicated, this node can trigger downstream processes like notifications, data transformations, or integrations with other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Backend URL The URL of your backend service where the webhook ID will be sent to register the webhook.

The "Backend URL" property expects a string URL pointing to the backend endpoint responsible for managing webhook subscriptions.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the payload received from the Syndie webhook. Specifically, the output contains:

  • json: The body data of the incoming webhook request from Syndie, accessible via this.getBodyData().

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an OAuth2 authentication credential to connect securely to Syndie's API.
  • Needs a backend service URL (provided via the "Backend URL" property) that accepts webhook registration requests.
  • The backend service must support receiving POST requests with JSON containing automation details and the webhook URL.

Troubleshooting

  • Webhook Registration Failure: If the node fails to register the webhook with the backend URL, it logs an error and throws it. Common causes include incorrect backend URL, network issues, or authentication problems with the OAuth2 credential.
    • Resolution: Verify the backend URL is correct and reachable. Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have necessary permissions.
  • Missing or Invalid OAuth2 Credentials: The node requires OAuth2 credentials; missing or invalid credentials will prevent webhook registration.
    • Resolution: Configure valid OAuth2 credentials in n8n before using the node.
  • Unexpected Webhook Payloads: If the incoming webhook payload structure changes, downstream workflow nodes may fail.
    • Resolution: Validate the webhook payload format and adjust workflow logic accordingly.
