Hi all,
I am studying a Data Analytics course and I’m new to building dashboard automations in n8n.
I created a workflow and it is working. After clicking “Execute Workflow” and then clicking the “Fetch Dashboard” button, I am able to get the data.
However, I want the dashboard records to update automatically when I click the “Fetch Dashboard” button, without needing to manually click “Execute Workflow” first.
Current workflow
Loveable Dashboard

@kofianand Welcome to the community, and nice first workflow! This is one of the most common “aha” moments for people getting started with n8n webhooks.
The reason you need to click “Execute Workflow” manually right now is because your workflow is running in test mode. In test mode, n8n only listens for incoming webhook calls while you’re actively watching.
To make it work automatically without any manual trigger from your side:
- Look for the toggle in the top right of your workflow editor (it will say “Inactive” or show a toggle switch)
- Activate the workflow by switching it to Active
- Once active, n8n will listen to the webhook URL 24/7 - every time your dashboard page calls the Fetch Dashboard endpoint, it will automatically execute the workflow and return fresh data
One small note: the webhook URL changes slightly when you switch from test mode to production mode. In the Webhook node, look for the two URL options - Test URL (only works when manually triggered) and Production URL (always active). Make sure your dashboard’s Fetch Dashboard button is calling the Production URL.
That should be all you need! Let me know if it works for you, and feel free to mark this as Solution if it resolves the issue.
