I’m using n8n Cloud and need to set up a Facebook Messenger + Instagram DM webhook.
My workspace does NOT include the Facebook Messenger Trigger node, which is required for webhook verification.
My available Facebook nodes are only:
Facebook Trigger
Facebook Graph API
Facebook Lead Ads Trigger
Facebook Graph API Tool
The generic Webhook node v2.1 cannot complete Meta’s hub.challenge verification.
Could you please enable the Facebook Messenger Trigger node for my Cloud workspace?
Hi Sam! The Facebook Messenger Trigger node isn’t available on n8n Cloud by default, but you can request it to be enabled by contacting n8n support directly through your Cloud dashboard or emailing [email protected] with your workspace URL.
Alternatively, you can use the regular Webhook node and handle the `hub.challenge` verification manually by setting up a simple workflow that responds with the challenge parameter when Facebook sends the verification request - this involves checking for the `hub.mode=subscribe` parameter and returning the `hub.challenge` value.
If you need this working immediately, consider using the Facebook Graph API node to poll for messages instead of using webhooks, though this won’t be real-time.
