n/a

This is because you have hit the maximum services you are allowed to deploy on the trial plan.

you will need to upgrade to hobby.

I had considered that…. But man, there should be a message that says that. Very frustrating and confusing.

Thanks for letting me know!

there definitely should be a better error message

@Brody - Does this also affect webhooks? The same setup works on the n8n free cloud trial, but won’t work on my Railway self-hosted free trial.

no that would be due to a missconfiguration on your part

Literally did the template, created a webhook trigger. And tried using it. Did it the same exact way in both accounts.

yes you have something misconfigured, you would want to read n8n's docs on how to properly setup a webhook trigger when self hosting

Hmm… saw one article on webhooks in the n8n docs. Will check again.

Anything specific I should be looking for?

nothing would be platform specific

Yeah, just checked again, and their “Common Issues” doc for webhooks. Nothing.

I’ll upgrade to Hobby and try again.

this isn't a plan limitation, we have no such controls over the software you deploy

Strange.

I used the template in my screenshot above, the one with almost 7,000 installs.

I created a workflow. Added a webhook trigger.

Copied the test webhook. Turned on the “listening”. And nothing comes in.

For context, I’ve used Zapier for 10 years and Make for 2-3 years.

as previously mentioned, you have something misconfigured

So the template itself has a misconfiguration. Got it.

not necessarily, it is not an efficient use of time pinning the blame on the template and or platform

I didn't "configure" anything though?

I installed the template, and went right to it.

I will delete the Project and try again.

not configuring something would indeed fall under a missconfiguration

Okay. So how to find out what to configure?

you would need to consult n8n's docs as we do not provide support for 3rd party software

Alrighty. I'll try.

webhooks work fine?

Turns out it was the template with 577 installs in my screenshot.

The one with almost 7k does indeed work immediately. Just tested.

The template "N8N (w/ webhook processors)" by Jack doesn't work out of the box.

So, to be clear:

The template "N8N (w/ workers)" works.

But the template "N8N (w/ webhook processors)" does not work out of the box.

And I don't know what's missing or needs to be configured.

may i ask why you would be installing a template with 577 installs instead of a template with just under 7k?

They're by the same person, and has more features.

Saw a few YouTube trainings by experienced users.

"N8N (w/ webhook processors)" was recommended.

Nothing other than that.

I expect to install the template and get going. That's why there are templates.

And I understand they are done by users. Not "blaming" anyone (this whole time).

Just trying to get things to work.

If anyone knows why "N8N (w/ webhook processors)" doesn't work out of the box, I would love to know. Don't know what needs to be configured, if anything.

But very happy to know that "N8N (w/ workers)" works. 🎉

"doesnt work" isnt super helpful

I can provide steps to reproduce again:

1.) Deplay template "N8N (w/ webhook processors)"

2.) Create a workflow.

3.) Add a Webhook trigger.

4.) Turn on listening for test webhook (set to POST).

5.) Test webhook.

This exact process works perfectly with the other template called "N8N (w/ workers)" (created by the same person).

That's all I know. Just trying to find out why it doesn't work.

not super helpful, what is the actual issue when you send the webhook

No data is received when I send webhook data.

It stays "Listening…"

what does the url return

Will try Postman.

I was using a platform to send the webhook data, but it doesn't give you response data.

But I've tested with the same method across 3 situations:

1.) Template "N8N (w/ workers)"… Works.

2.) n8n cloud (free trial)… Works.

3.) Template "N8N (w/ webhook processors)"… Does NOT work.

That's all I know at this point.

Will try Postman and get a response code.

404 Not Found

For the template "N8N (w/ workers)", I get this response:

200 OK

{
"message": "Workflow was started"
}

For the template "N8N (w/ webhook processors)", I get this:

404 NOT FOUND

Cannot POST /webhook-test/36129327-d279-4898-bf7a-3c76701588df

I'm using the exact same workflow setup across both and testing in the exact same way.

It works with the Production URL though.

thats something n8n should add to their docs then

I guess I'll stick with the "N8N (w/ workers)" template for now, instead of the "N8N (w/ webhook processors)" one.

Thanks getting me towards a solution.
