n8n Tutorial #4: Understanding Webhooks, If / Switch and API call Nodes

[@nickolasgrijalva4858]

These videos are AMAZING!!!! The instruction is clear, concise, and even motivating. I'm so new to automation and only landed in this space because I'm trying to find a cheaper solution to replace a vacation rental channel manager. This is starting to look where I need to be if I want to replace one. Perhaps a content idea as well for you Ben?

Best video on n8n to date! 🙏

[@abhaschowdhry3853]

The basics teaching is done perfectly right and love the pace of the content !! Hopefully you will get these videos out faster. Do you plan to also cover ERPNext integration ?

[@BenYoungAI]

Thanks for letting me know my pacing is good! I got really sick for several days so my latest video was delayed. It's out now and I'll try to get more out faster. I don't have ERPNext in my lesson plan at the moment, but if there's enough interest, I can look at adding it!

thank you so much, very interesting tutos, I'm looking few times for tutos beginners friendly helping me yo start learning automation . thank you so much❤ ❤❤

Thank you! Your comment encourages me to continue making them 🙂

You should consider starting a dedicated community (e.g. Skool, Maven). I'll be a customer.

[@crsmoore]

Same. Something affordable, like $15-$25/mo, especially for the first 50 people or something.

[@crsmoore]

And definitely Skool. Such a clean interface and easy to house "course" material alongside the Community.

[@BenYoungAI]

Thank you for this feedback! A dedicated community is definitely on my radar. I'm just making sure I have all the pieces together to ensure I can be of most "service" to everyone in the community. Stay tuned!

I am withdrawing from your educational videos. lol we need a schedule for the uploads 😂😂. But seriously, Thank you kindly! looking forward to many more n8n videos. Will love to see a video on making http calls

[@BenYoungAI]

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry I got really sick, which slowed me down, but the http request video is now out! Get your fix 🤣

[@faridullahkhan1]

Thank you for helpful videos on n8n. Liked and subscribed 👍

[@benh8199]

Thanks for the encouragement and the sub! 🥳I'll continue to put out more videos like this.

Ty for the vids! Question: what is the purpose of a "respond to webhook" node? Also, I have a tutorial request: how to handle persistent storage, for in a single workflow, shared among workflows in a project, and globally in the app. I don't want to purchase pro or enterprise 😊 Another question: which cloud dtorage platform has the best n8n integration? I am working with google and it can't notify when a file is trashed, and the mgmt of general credentials has been buggy (not refreshing tokens despite setting it to work offline). Again, ty for your excellent explanations

[@ahmedsomir]

thanks for this tutorial, do u know an email verification API to help me knowing all the details related to email addresses for not mark as spam?

[@BenYoungAI]

I use this and it's worked quite well (both an api and a web app). The best part is it's a one time payment and not a monthly subscription: smarterchats.com/go/reoon

Interesting video I am curious why you don’t leverage the open AI mall you could just explain AI to give instructions based on the weather conditions

[@BenYoungAI]

I'm going to cover integrating AI in upcoming videos. This tutorial series is intended to start with the basics and introduce n8n topics incrementally. At tutorial #4, we're still covering the basics. Using the openweathermap API in this video is meant more to demonstrate the inner workings of n8n and how the nodes all work together more than to show viewers how to get current weather conditions.

Great video, thanks. I'd love to know how to get two webhooks to work in one workflow. In my case, I have one webhook that pulls woocommerce order data, and another that later returns results on creation of an account in a software. When I run a test, woocommerce pulls data, then the test workflow stops before the second webhook fires, that that one doesn't get activated to pull the data. I tried wait, but it didn't work. If I run the test again before the second node fires, it deletes the woocommerce data, but the second webhook pulls data. Confused as to how to get the workflow to wait for the second webhook? Can take up to 7 minutes for the second process to finish and send data back. Any suggestions?

[@BenYoungAI]

A workflow can contain multiple trigger nodes but with each execution, only one of them will execute, depending on the triggering event. Is it possible to break your logic into two individual workflows perhaps?

[@allysoncapreol5206]

@@BenYoungAI Thank you for responding. I need the data from the first part in the second part (order info and the account creation info) for the emails that get sent (login details to customer, error emails or success email notifications to myself). I'm new to all this so not sure how to divide it into two workflows and have data from one added to the other? It's the only one firing then needing to re-click test to activate and register the second so it sends what is required (wherein the data of the first vanishes). So, what you mentioned on only one of them executing is my issue. Tried a wait node (maybe I did it wrong) but that didn't work. Maybe I need to set up a database to send the first to and pull data into second half? New and confused I guess.
