Http Request to chat Trigger Via Agent tool

Hi , is it possible to send an http request to the Chat trigger with a tool in Agent IA?
The purpose of that is for sending an intermediate message to the chat when my agent will do a sql request that take time . ( I can do this with telegram because telegram got a tool for agent ) .
I ve try to send a http request via postman an get 200 code response code but im unable to write a message in the chat trigger using the body.(maybe i use bad json format ? or the message should be in the query ? I havent find in the chat trigger manual and i dont think the way is using a weebhook response because this will finish the workflow and so the sql request will not be done )

Here is an example :

Thanks for any clarification !

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.74.1
  • Database (default: SQLite): postgres
  • **n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):**default
  • **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):**Docker
  • **Operating system:**Debian12

It seems that sending status updates is a wanted feature, but at this moment it is not supported.

It is a feature request though

At the moment the user must wait for the full agent execution to see the output/intermediate steps.
