This connection recipe shows you how to wire a Webhook node to a Http Request node in n8n. It is one of the most common patterns in automation — used in data sync, notifications, form handling, and scheduled tasks.

How it works

Trigger

🔗 Webhook

Starts the workflow. Can be a scheduled cron, an incoming webhook, a manual run, a form submission, or a sub-workflow call.

Processing

⚙️ Optional Transforms

Between trigger and output, you can filter, map, enrich, or branch the data using IF conditions, Set nodes, or AI steps.

Action

🌐 Http Request

The destination node. Receives the processed data and performs the action: write rows, send email, post message, or make an HTTP call.
