Human in the Loop with Agent Tools (Telegram): 'No action required' Issue when using Send and Wait for Response

I’ve noticed something that I’m not sure if it’s a bug, a problem, or if it’s simply not intended to be used this way currently, but it would be incredibly useful to implement this feature.

When the Human in the Loop functionality was added to n8n, it was very helpful.

And it works perfectly fine when I use it as a separate node.

However, when I add a Telegram node as a tool for the Agent (Agent Tools) and the process changes to “send and wait for response,”

the Agent uses the tool and sends the approval message. But when I open the link from Telegram, the page displays the text:

No action required

and nothing happens. The Agent remains in a ‘working’ or ‘waiting’ state until I manually stop the process.

I’m not sure if I should report this as an issue on GitHub, or if this functionality is simply not intended for use as a tool with the Agent!

But as I said, it would be extremely beneficial to add this capability.

Same happens to me… - any updates @Malek ?

Did you find a fix?

I am also running a workflow that requires a response and I am getting the same error. This time using a gmail node. Any solution?

I’m in the same situation, No Action required, no matter what option I select (approve / Reject )

Have you found the way to make it work ?

Same here. Redirect URL is correct, but I get “No Action Required”.

Same here.

same same with version 1.94.1 and not only happen with Telegram, with HITL with Gmail also have the same issue, must to be something with N8N Form

If you are python proficient- you could try and run www.Velatir.com human in the loop integration. All setup is no code on app after initial install.

Can add telegram to it - if you need it?

having the same issue. i also tried to create sub-workflow tool with separate telegram / gmail HITL node and the agent tool does not receive the response. the response of the execution is actually the input.

similar issue if there’s a 2min pause in the sub workflow. 1min is ok

pls help

Same for me. " No action required". All field filled, but it doesn’t work. How to bug report, guys?


Hi there, I’ve also the same exact issue, tried many times but it is not working, does anyone tried the cloud version?
