Chat trigger with mode Respond to Webhook not working

Describe the problem/error/question

Respond to Webhook node with Chat Trigger is not working as intended. It waited for the Wait node to complete and return the result in the Wait node.

I wanted to be able to get a response before the workflow ends with Chat Trigger.

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message

Please share your workflow

{ “sessionId”: “f8a5ba9ebb4b439486cfb01e006cd0ec”, “action”: “sendMessage”, “chatInput”: “hi” }

Expected to output: Hello people

Information on your n8n setup

  • **n8n version:**1.78.1
  • Database (default: SQLite): none
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): own
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker

Just tested here in n8n version 1.79.2 and can confirm it’s behaving unexpectedly.

@Jon maybe a bug?

EDIT: still the same behavior on version 1.79.3

I confirm and quite puzzled that it never worked as intended.

I have a workaround where I use Set Node with { “output”: “my message” } but it is not a solution for sure.
