Can you share more information regarding your n8n instance?
Although this mostly happens due to not well configured n8n instance or unstable connection, i recommend restarting your n8n instance and things should be working just fine, if they don’t consider setting the webhook URL and then restarting your n8n instance.
I would also recommend updating your n8n instance to the latest version 2.x which have less unstable issues.
Hey, that “connection lost” message usually means your browser can’t reach the n8n backend, not that n8n itself can’t reach the internet. Are you running this in Docker or npm? If Docker check that your ports are mapped correctly and that the container is actually running, sometimes it crashes silently. Also what’s your N8N_HOST and WEBHOOK_URL set to? If those are misconfigured the UI loses its websocket connection.
