N8n: QS101 n8n Quickstart DIscord webhook Error

[aledomains]

< The Discord webhook given in quick start lessons for Generating Reports and Monitoring Report Errors () always gives an error message, I think it’s broken, I tried another webhook to another server and it worked perfectly

What is the error message (if any)?

the Error message is : problem in node ‘Discord’

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version: cloud
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
• Operating system: windows

Hi @aledomains ,

Please check this past solution to see if it helps.

Note: First thing to try is wrapping your assessment_id in Discord’s message in square brackets [your_assessment_id], as the n8n server will check that too.

Hi Akarsh,

Update: I’ve just tried the webhook and noticed this issue happens when the text message isn’t in the correct format or the input isn’t the right answer, n8n server will reject and respond like that. Please double-check if your message has a similar format:

[4e98de96b6ca491137acc0efxxxxxxx] Regional Sales Summary: Oceania - 999 orders, total: $9999.99

Instruction from the course:

This error message is quite generic, so I can’t tell exactly what is happening. I just know there’s an issue with the Discord webhook. Could you copy and paste your whole workflow here so we can investigate? Alternatively, you could share a screenshot of your configuration on the Discord node, along with a screenshot of the return data from the node right before it.

Also, please move this post to the sub-category n8n Academy > QS101: n8n Quickstart , which is more relevant, so other students can relate, and you could find some useful answers while you proceed with the courses, too.

@kristinker I moved it for you.

Please read my previous message again. Worth checking that your assessment_id is wrapped within square brackets.

[kristinker]

Please check the spaces between commas and colons again.
