Webhook sequential processing?

I have a question about how webhooks handle data:

If a webhook receives two pieces of data simultaneously, will it process both at the same time, or handle one data piece at a time, starting the second after the first workflow has finished?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

It’s parallelized by default – meaning, n8n will attempt to process multiple inbound webhooks simultaneously. There is no built-in rate limiting or concurrency control; you would need to use something like hookdeck.com – but even then, it’s not a ideal/perfect solution.

See this thread for more details:
