I have a workflow where I send an email with content and 4 link buttons. 3 work. But one button is called edit which when pressed I want it to bring the user to a form to edit a response that was originally in the email. I want the client to edit it and then submit it which the workflow will then continue that automation with the edited information that the client edits.
I might have explained that bad but I asked ai to help and they said use a webhook but I cannot get it to work I need help with this
Based on the context, let’s work together to troubleshoot:
- Is the redirection to the edit page currently functioning?
- Is the edit feature working successfully?
- Are the edited results being properly sent to the webhook?
- Is the webhook executing correctly?
The redirection isn’t working entirely, I put the button in the send email but when the button is clicked the redirect doesnt work. But when it does work the information from what we are trying to edit doesnt work and the submit button doesnt work and continure the flow
Hello @Nicholas_Mio,
I try to provide a possible solution, let’s see if it can be useful.
Step 1
Create a Webhook node in your workflow that acts as the destination for the “Edit” button, the button in the email should link to something like:
https://your-n8n-instance/webhook/edit-form?responseId=12345
Make sure the webhook is public and accessible, you’re passing any necessary ID or token to identify what should be edited
Step 2
Redirect the user to a custom form page (e.g., built with Google Forms, or your own HTML form)
Step 3
When the user submits the form a second Webhook receives the new data and the flow continues with nodes like Update Database, Send Email, or anything else
You can store context using query parameters (?responseId=xyz) or n8n’s Execution Data / storage nodes if needed
