Can't hit save on my first workflow

Hey,
Just discovered the joy of n8n. absolutely love it but hit the stupidest of problems. i can’t seem to hit save on my workflow. can someone help me either work on my mistake or confirm if its a bug :slight_smile:

PS first time on the n8n community so hello!! :slight_smile:


in screenshot, i’ve got the error message in bottom right corner. The message appears whenever i hit the save button. The error message seems to suggest i’m missing a trigger node, but i expect/believe the “When clicking test workflow” node to satisfy the requirements of the workflow needing at least 1 trigger.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Tip for sharing information

Pasting your n8n workflow


Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

That implies to any JSON output you would like to share with us.

Make sure that you have removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy or pinned data with it!


According to the screenshot, you workflow is active and hence already saved. Is the workflow ID mentioned in the error message, namely lagyi2ZH2hNdDQ44, the very same workflow that is depicted on the screenshot. I wonder if the message talks about completely different workflow that might be missing any trigger/poller/webhook.
