Describe the problem/error/question

I have created a wait node that uses the option “Respond when Form Is Submitted”, however I don’t see a way to customize the text shown in the form generated by n8n, it says “Submit”. I would like to customize it.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(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.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

Hi @luisegg

Yes, indeed — the form within the Wait node is quite limited in terms of customization options.

However, there’s always a workaround!
You can use the “On Webhook Call” option and leverage {{$execution.resumeUrl}} by passing it as a parameter to your form link, like this:

https://n8n.example.com/form/690d-625-4b-97b9-92b?resumeUrl={{$json.resumeUrl}}

On the other hand, have your form trigger as usual, but at the end add an HTTP Request node to call the resumeUrl This will mark the waiting state as complete and allow the workflow to continue and you can also pass the form data in the body to use it..

That’s the general idea I’m trying to explain, let me know if you need more help!
