The idea is:
[ real-time, persistent connections(websocket)] Currently, the Webhook node in n8n works with HTTP requests that trigger workflows when the request is received. However, it does not support real-time, persistent connections like WebSockets. it unlock realtime notification , chat , can recive data from after a long time process.
My use case:
i hava android app called angentbridge that uses http to chat to n8n i want websocket.
I would like to request a Real-time Webhook Node that can:
- Maintain an open connection (via WebSockets or Server-Sent Events)
- Allow real-time data streams to trigger workflows instantly as new data arrives
- Optionally support features like real time notification and chat
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
- Real-time workflows natively inside n8n.
- Reduces latency.
- Simplifies real-time app integrations.
- Attracts users needing real-time processing.
Any resources to support this?
Are you willing to work on this?
yes
