Getting Timeout Error When try to connect with Slack Events

[Asuwini_P]

Hi All,

Here is my problem, I am trying to send request from slack using Event Subscription to n8n node for phrasing the input, but I am getting timeout error. Response Time taken nearly 5 sec.

Error :

Hmm, our verification request timed out before we received a response. Try again?

I have refereed the few community posts, but not getting proper solution for this

Should I need to Upgrade my Instance ? Please guide me on this

My current Instance Size :

Core : 2
Ram : 4GB

Workflow

• n8n version: Version 0.225.2
• Database (default: SQLite): -
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): own
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): : docker
• Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Hi @ihortom ,

Thank you for your quick response,

I imported your workflow and tested in my workflow instance, I can get the “challenge” value in the end of the flow, But getting same error , due to that, I couldn’t save the Request URL in the slack

Hmm, our verification request timed out before we received a response. Try again?

@Asuwini_P I had the same issue. I’m pretty sure your server is too small. The solution was for me to upgrade to a bigger machine on Digital Ocean … like a 16gb ram machine or something, then do the challenge and then revert back to something smaller.

That did the trick for me. Hope it helps.

Best,
Stefan

Thank you for your response @stefanendress , Let me upgrade the instance and test it again

After upgrade the instance to 4 core and 8GB ram , the response time is within desired timeframe(3sec), the issue has been fixed

Thank you for your guidance @ihortom and @stefanendress
