Hi @Deanr, welcome to the community :tada:

Webhooks and WebSockets are very different technologies. It is very unusual for WebSockets to be used for communication between unrelated apps, so I reckon you are looking for Webhooks here.

These are fundamentally just HTTP Requests, and as such you can use the HTTP Request node in n8n to send your webhook to a 3rd party system.

Here is how it could look in a workflow:

In this example I am taking random data from n8n and send it to another server using a typical webhook format (a POST request with a JSON body).

Hope this helps!
