I’m trying to set up a Meta/Facebook webhook in n8n but can’t get Meta to verify the webhook endpoint. Here’s my current setup:

Workflow Configuration

- Webhook node → Code node → Respond to Webhook node
- Using production webhook URL (not test URL)
- Workflow is activated

## Respond to Webhook Node Settings

- Response Code: 200
- Content-Type: application/json
- Put Response in Field: response

## Issue

Meta keeps failing to verify the webhook with “Can’t validate the URL or verify token” error, even though:

- The verify token matches exactly in both Meta and n8n
- The workflow executes successfully in n8n
- Using production URL with valid SSL
- App is in Live mode

What am I missing in the configuration to get Meta to successfully verify the webhook?"

Code Node

```javascript
// Get incoming parameters from webhook
const incomingData = items[0].json;
const incomingToken = incomingData?.query?.["hub.verify_token"];
const configuredToken = "n8n_Meta_webhook_2025";
const hubChallenge = incomingData?.query?.["hub.challenge"];

if (incomingToken === configuredToken) {
    items[0].json = { response: hubChallenge };
} else {
    items[0].json = { error: "Token verification failed" };
}

return items;
```

facing the same issue.

- I have tried adding heading authentication. Didn’t work.
- Changed from ‘using respond to webhook’ to ‘respond immediately’
- Added response code 200 in the trigger node
- Added token key-value pair in response header on trigger node

Were you able to solve your problem? If yes, how?

i got the answer, put json format, then 200 , and the hub challenge, it should allow you to connect webhook
