Related feature: http://community.n8n.io/t/how-to-sent-binary-data-as-multipart-form-data I receive a webhook with some audio file that I like to sent to a webservice for conversion. However I can’t find the right options to successfully post it to the service. Below is my node configuration and th…

Looks on the first look ok. When you send the data to the n8n Webhook does the data end up in the binary property named “data”?

That was what I thought. As I understand this option stores the data per default in data: [image]

This is the error I get on the audio (post) node when executing the workflow: ERROR: 400 - {"type":"Buffer","data":[123,34,116,121,...]} StatusCodeError: 400 - {"type":"Buffer","data":[123,34,116,121,...]} at new StatusCodeError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/request-promise-cor…

With multi-part, multiple files can be send at the same time and they all get send under a specific name which also n8n uses. Here an example. Receive data workflow: Send workflow (URL of HTTP Request2 has to be adjusted to point to receive workflow): …

O.K., I tested it locally - like you did - with a file that I retrieve by WebApi GET. That works without a problem. So I think the multipart POST is not the problem. The problem is the webhook that is receiving the file. Maybe webhook has problems handling files? Webhook.site data for comparison: …

@jwillmer Just tested it as you suggested using a .opus file and the webhook receives the file. curl --location --request POST '/webhook-test/86/ptt-webhook/ptt-input' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \ --data-binary '@/Users/Ricardo/Desktop/2019-05-01_-_Undercover_Spy_Agent_-_D…

I believe the server proxy is preventing the file from getting to the n8n webhook. If I test my setup locally it works perfect. Will investigate in this direction. Thank you for validating my actions :wink:

I found the problem - had nothing to do with the proxy. I had EXECUTIONS_PROCESS: main enabled for n8n and after starting n8n without this flag i received the file. @jan I think there is an issue with this flag.

Ah yes there were problems with EXECUTIONS_PROCESS=main: [صورة] Problems with stopping processes Questions Fix got released with n8n@0.65.0 A fix just got released with n8n@0.65.0 can you please check if it works fine in that version else we will have another look.

Does not work for me. Without the option the webhook gets executed and I see the file. With the option the webhook gets executed but the file is missing. Edit: There is also a difference in Webhook vs HTTP request: Receiving the ogg-file via HTTP request works fine and my next HTTP request can us…
