Hey @Nazih_Saba,

Can you share a bit more about this? You can resume a workflow outside of n8n using the On Webhook Call option under the wait node, Are you already trying to use this and seeing issues?

Exactly what I want. I want to try and trigger the wait webhook from postman. But I dont know what URL I should use.

Hey @Nazih_Saba,

I normally add {{ $execution.resumeUrl }} to a set node at the start of a workflow which will show you the URL when I am testing and for my workflows that require a user to do something I send it in an email or a Slack message.

Can you please share an example if that’s possible?

Set Node
This is with a Set node, Once you run the workflow check the exucution log and click on the Set node to see the URL.

Email

Sends an email with the resume URL in it
