Overview
The Public Webhook Relay workflow automates the collection, processing, and forwarding of webhook data using n8n. It is designed to periodically fetch new requests, authenticate via API, and relay data to designated endpoints, ensuring seamless data synchronization.
Key Features
- Scheduled Triggers: Initiates the workflow at defined intervals to check for new webhook data.
- API Authentication: Securely retrieves and stores authentication tokens for protected API access.
- Data Retrieval & Processing: Gathers unprocessed and latest requests, merges relevant data, and formats it for downstream systems.
- Automated Data Relay: Forwards processed data to n8n or other endpoints via HTTP requests.
- State Management: Stores the last processed timestamp and authentication tokens for reliable, incremental updates.
Benefits
- Reduces Manual Effort: Eliminates the need for manual data collection and relay.
- Improves Data Accuracy: Ensures timely and consistent data synchronization across platforms.
- Enhances Security: Manages authentication securely within the workflow.
- Scalable Automation: Easily adapts to increased data volume or additional endpoints.
Use Cases
- Synchronizing webhook data between public sources and internal systems.
- Automating API-based data collection and forwarding for analytics or reporting.
- Streamlining integration between web services and business applications.
