This workflow addresses the challenge of managing and processing incoming webhook requests automatically. It allows users to:
- Receive webhook requests at regular intervals.
- Filter and process only new requests since the last check, minimizing unnecessary data handling.
- Relay relevant data to a local n8n workflow, ensuring that no important information is missed.

Workflow Steps

Workflow Steps


1. Schedule Trigger: Initiates the workflow every 10 seconds, allowing for frequent checks for new webhook requests.
2. Retrieve Auth Token: Fetches the stored authentication token required for accessing the webhook service.
3. Check for New Requests: If an auth token exists, the workflow checks for any new requests received since the last processed timestamp.
4. Get Latest Requests: Retrieves any new requests from the webhook service.
5. Filter Unprocessed Requests: Filters the requests to identify those that are new and have not been processed yet.
6. Store Last Processed Time: Updates the timestamp of the last processed request to ensure future checks only consider new data.
7. Post to Local n8n Workflow: Relays the relevant data from unprocessed requests to a specified local n8n workflow for further handling.

Customization Guide

Customization Guide


- Change the Polling Interval: Adjust the interval in the Schedule Trigger node to meet the specific needs of your application (e.g., every 5 seconds instead of 10 seconds).
- Modify the Webhook URL: Update the URL in the Local Webhook Address node to point to your specific local workflow endpoint.
- Adapt Data Handling: Customize the JavaScript code in the Unprocessed Requests node to filter requests based on different criteria or methods (e.g., GET instead of POST).
- Integrate with Other Services: Replace the KeyValueStorage nodes with other storage solutions like Airtable or Firebase if preferred, ensuring data persistence between workflow executions.
