Sequence (getsequence.io) Testing

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using a financial router app called getsequence.io. It’s a platform that automates transfers between accounts. In n8n I’m creating workflows that will query my personal finance app (YNAB), and return a transfer value to getsequence. In my case, the webhook is called when funds have arrived. In Sequence, I would like to setup a rule that calls my utilities bills webhook, and the auto bills webhook when funds arrive to the main account. They are separated this way because I want to transfer x amount to my utilities account and x amount to the auto account. For this reason, I need two workflows with two different webhooks. There is a simulation feature in Sequence and I was able to test it successfully when I only had one remote query (utilities) but I added a second (auto) and I’m unable to test it on its own without having to delete the utilities query. My question is, can I have two webhooks listen for the test initiated by the same trigger?

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):

This is not possible, but you can split your trigger into two different workflows and not use webhooks for these workflows at all, but use the “When executed by another Workflow” Trigger:

Hi, thank you for your quick response. I’m not following. Perhaps there’s something missing in my thought process. In Sequence, the rule structure is trigger–>action1→action2… Action1 says, “call webhook1 and give me the amount you want me to transfer into account1.” Their api endpoint wants only one value for the account transfer per action. Which means, action1 is calling for value1, action2 is calling for value2 and so on which is why I think I need webhook1 and webhook2. I don’t see another way to tell a workflow which value Sequence wants other than by distinct webhooks.

Sorry, I did not get your use case the first time because of missing context. And I’m still not sure what exactly your issue is. Are you talking about the “Remote API Action” described here? https://support.getsequence.io/hc/en-us/articles/42813911824019-API-Overview

In this case you’re running into a limitation set by how getsequence.io and webhooks work. I don’t see how you would change anything in n8n. Your sequence Action does send a request to one webhook, it cannot be sent to two webhooks at the same time.

Maybe you can provide screenshots of your n8n and sequence configuration?
Otherwise its hard to get what you want to achieve.
