I need 2 or more nodes connected to the webhook to all execute in parallel. In testing, it appears they execute once the previous nodes finish.
So current behavior is A1 → A2. Wait for A2 to finish executing an external workflow. This takes about 2 seconds end to end based on what the external workflow is doing. Then B1 → B2.
The behaviors I want is C1 → C2. This needs to scale to have 2 or more C1 → C2 all happening in parallel.
We don’t currently nodes in parallel so each one needs to finish before the next one will start. I think there is a feature request for this sort of functionality but at the moment the way some users get around it is to use webhook triggers that reply instantly and then use the http request node to call them. While this won’t be in parallel still B will run a lot sooner as it doesn’t need to wait for A2 to finish.
Thanks for response @Jon. How do I plus 1 to this feature request?
So I’m interpreting that in the actual external workflow that has all my code functionality I need executed multiple times, instead of using ‘Execute Workflow Trigger’ node, go back to the normal ‘Webhook’ node which has an HTTP endpoint for the webhook. Then in the workflow I’m used to multiplex, pictured earlier and refined here, I can use my set node to adjust unique settings sent to an HTTP Post node that pushes out to the external Workflow itself. Like pictured here?
Did notice however that the body object became 2 levels deep, so had to adjust downstream from $json.body.item to $json.body.body.item, before flattening that back with an item list node.
