Thanks for the excellent streaming tutorial! I’ve successfully set up streaming for a single AI Agent using the guide.

Follow-up Question: I have a more complex workflow with multiple AI Agent nodes that work sequentially (and sometimes loop):

Webhook → Agent 1 (RAG) → Agent 2 (Analysis) → Agent 3 (Review) 
                                                    ↓
                                            [Loop back if revision needed]
                                                    ↓
                                            Agent 4 (Content Gen) → Respond to Webhook

Does the streaming feature:

  1. Stream output from all agents in sequence to the external client?

  2. Stream tool calls and results from each agent?

  3. Continue streaming when there’s a loop (Agent 3 → Agent 2 for revisions)?

Or does streaming only work for the final agent’s output before the Respond to Webhook node?

I’m integrating with Open WebUI and want users to see the full “thinking process” across all agents, not just the final response.

Thanks! :folded_hands:

No, chaining multiple AI Agent nodes sequentially will not automatically stream the full “thinking process” of all agents to Open WebUI as a single, unified stream.

Not possible in n8n as of now.
