Hi, I’m new to n8n and just completed my first project. When using hosted chat and “Respond To Chat” node together, the chat UI will only briefly show “…” loading briefly long before the response is generated.
When I disconnected the Respond to Chat node and configure the chat trigger (When chat message received) to not use the respond node it works fine –in that the loading animation stayed on until the response is generated. The problem in the original workflow is that in the web chat UI (hosted chat) it generate correct response but the loading animation disappears in seconds long before the actual response is generated.
Yes I have this same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
I simply disconnected Respond to Chat node and it works as expected.
Thank you for replying. You mean disconnected and re connected? Or you didn’t use it at all?
I just left it disconnected.
Unfortunately that node is the only way I can get it to format markdown in my workflow. I am outputting JSON from an AI agent, and then formatting to user friendly markdown.
I am on Version 1.118.1
hopefully this bug is fixed in the latest version.
Same issue in my case. Is there a way to vote for this, to make it be fixed?
