Gmail "send and wait for response" node fails to wait for response

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using the Gmail “send and wait for response” node to structure a simple email verification. The node does not wait for user input and instead automatically fires the rest of the workflow. This occurs regardless of which response the user enters (approve or decline). Since the workflow continues to run immediately after sending the email, the user is not routed to the “Got it” N8N page that I’ve seen in prior testing and is instead sent to an error page reading “execution [#] is already running”.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

I received an error that the body of my topic was too long to share my code, so any tips appreciated.

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 2.11.3
  • Database (default: SQLite): default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): n8n cloud
  • Operating system: 15.6.1

Hi @adminasst Welcome!
This can happen because of that trigger firing multiple times, if you are using webhook make sure that it is not being re triggered by the link, also this can occur due to send and wait for response node too so make sure you are using the Send and wait for response node from GOOGLE not custom made with wait nodes, and obv do not put send and wait for response in a loop , also again your instance is on cloud so there is not much you can do on your instance you can try reaching the support if the issue persists [email protected]
