Unused response to webhook node found in the workflow

Questions

I am self-hosting n8n in a Docker container with its own volume, while executing a simple workflow with a webhook and its response connected with their default values. I am getting the error below, but if I remove the webhook response node, I can execute only the first node. This is something simple but not sure what is happening here

n8n version

1.113.3 (Self Hosted)

Open your Webhook node settings

Find the “Response mode” option

Set it to “Using ‘Respond to Webhook’ Node”

Without this setting, n8n won’t know to wait for the Respond to Webhook node to send the response, which can cause the error you’re experiencing.

But if I go with the immediately at least I should get a 200 response, no?
