(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)
This is a known quirk with the n8n102 course assessment — the **Webhook Tester** tool and the **assessment checker** work differently, which catches a lot of students out.
**The issue:** The webhook tester in the course UI marks tests as “passed” when it receives a response from your webhook endpoint. But the assessment score only updates when the assessment system itself sends a test request to your webhook and validates the *actual response format* — not just whether the tester tool was happy.
**How to fix it:**
1. Make sure your workflow is **active** (the toggle in the top-right of the canvas is ON — not just “Listening” mode from the tester)
2. In Section 2, the assessment checks specific fields in the JSON response. Double-check that your Respond to Webhook node is returning exactly the fields the exercise specifies — field names are case-sensitive
3. Go back to the course page and click **“Check my work”** or re-run the assessment — it sends a fresh request to your live webhook
4. If it still doesn’t update: deactivate and reactivate the workflow, then try the assessment check again
**Common gotcha:** If you were using the webhook tester (the “Listen for test event” button), your workflow may not have been in active/production mode when the assessment checker ran. The tester and the live webhook use different URLs in some n8n setups.
Let us know which specific exercise in Section 2 this is and what your Respond to Webhook node is returning — happy to help debug the exact response format.
Hello,
I’ve checked your score and you have 100% and have passed. Congratulations!
