Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

Use case: Based on the response received from my HTTP request node, I want my next node to be executed.
Example: If the response is 400 and contains the following message:

{
"code": "missing_parameter",
"message": "Missing listIds or newList"
}

Then, based on this message, I will deactivate (make inactive) the current workflow.

What is the error message (if any)?

NO

Please share your workflow

Hi @Gouravdev, to get the status code and the full error message you can use the “Never Error” and “Include Response Headers and Status” options of the HTTP Request node:

You can then check for these values in your IF node. If your condition is met you could then disable your workflow via n8n’s REST API.
