hi @Kaviya_V
those triggers are usually available by default in self-hosted n8n. If they’re missing, check your n8n version, node filtering, and any role/permission restrictions. Webhook also needs proper public/tunnel access for external calls

Hi @Kaviya_V how have you installed that local n8n via NPM or Docker? I would highly recommend reading this document: (just in case if you got something wrong. (Also @tamy.santos is right those features are not disabled, those are primary nodes which always come with every n8n instance no matter the version or installation type.)

@Kaviya_V umm.. have you tried setting up NODES_EXCLUDE="[]" in NSSM, which removes all exclusions and makes all nodes visible?
Kinda rare to see even basic nodes are not available.

Hi @Kaviya_V Please do not consider different ways of installing n8n, the recommended ways are these:
now this clearly states that the problem is with the nssm not with the n8n, consider installing n8n via the recommended ways as that is the most widely supported channel and we would actually be able to assist you with that.

@Kaviya_V please remove everything you have installed, as it is most likely corrupted, as webhooks are basic triggers, so for now go on remove everything do a fresh install via npm and then tell me if you face any related error. (This can only happen in a corrupted install)
i am really tried for this, if don’t mind, can we connect the google meet for discuss this?
