Webhook required inputs

Questions

How can I make a workflow which returns its inputs from the starting webhook, and the output of the respond to webhook node?

I am calling N8N workflows from another page I have using the webhook node and to add the workflow activation, I need the input and output parameters of the workflow itself.

I could go in to every workflow and get the information manually, but is there a better way for it?

Example workflow

In this case I would like to get the body element of the webhook input and the output elements so something like this:

"input":{
  "data": {
    "input1": string,
    "input2": int
  }
},
"output":{
  "myoutput1": string,
  "myoutput2": boolean
}

It doesn’t really matter what format it has, I just need the input and output variables collected in one place.

Is there a way to make this automatic for all workflows?

Thanks in advance.

Information on my n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.88.0
  • Running n8n via: Docker
  • Operating system: Windows 11

You don’t need Run the Workflow node in-between. just Webhook and Respond to Webhook is fine.

I know, this was just an example.
