Send and wait for response on more then the current once. preferable all currently support notification channels

The idea is:

Adding more “send and wait” integrations.
I would like to use “send and wait” in a self hosted app,
so I way to set this up would be great!
As there are so many way to send notifications and so,
extending the notifications to send a signed confirmation link would be great!

My use case:

Im currently using n8n in my homelab, so its a neiche area… but I want to self host my chat app. so instead of using slack, if I could set the “send and wait” msg to somthing else then email, that would be great. As you already support so many apps in your notifications area, extending the “send and wait” ability to more would be awesome!

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

By being being able to send a confirmation link to a currently supported notification channel would be a good extention!

Any resources to support this?

No…

Are you willing to work on this?

Yes! I havent been able to check the whole codebase out yet, but if I get some pointers, I should be able to help!

You should be able to do this with the ‘wait for webhook’ mode of the wait node. You just need a node beforehand that sends the $execution.resumeUrl to your chat service so it knows how to respond and resume the workflow.

I have just started out with n8n, and had only looked at the most obvious wais to do it by chat… I will try to set up a “wait for webhook”.

No worries — we should make this more discoverable
