Hi @Fares_Hussein,
welcome to the n8n community.

Great that you shared your workflow with us! This allows to help and analyze faster.

In your case, the issue is that the trigger node has two outputs, but only one is connected.

Okay, so your issue is that the Webhook trigger is not triggered ?

This usually indicates that either:

  • you did use the production URL in test mode or the other way around
  • your connection is setup wrong on the side of Meta
  • the n8n server can’t be reached. Since we know that the GET mode works, we can focus on the options

Have you checked that when in the workflow designer, you’re using the test url and start the workflow manually?

Please share some details on how you did setup the webhooks. Are you using a 3rd party service or did you setup Instagram Messaging Webhooks?

so here is how the full workflow should looks like after it is done

I have just double-checked all those steps and confirmed the following:

  1. Correct URL: I am using the Test URL (ending in /webhook-test/...) in my Facebook Developer settings.

  2. Manual Start: I have the workflow open and I clicked the ‘Listen for event’ button. The node is currently spinning and says ‘Waiting for Webhook call’.

  3. Real-world Test: While it was spinning, I sent a DM to the Instagram account from a separate, secondary account.

  4. No Result: Even though the GET verification worked earlier, the Webhook node does not trigger or show any incoming data when the DM is sent. It just keeps spinning until it times out.

Can you share a screenshot of your settings in the meta interface?

I can see that you have subscribed to comments. But did you also subscribe to messages?
If you want to, we can schedule a short google meet call to solve this faster. If you’re interested, send me a DM.
