Describe the problem/error/question

Trying to send a post request to a webhook trigger without success, the workflow fails to trigger. I believe this is unintended behavior. The difference is that I am using a path for the variable a show below.

I think this should be allowed; if it is not allowed, the expressions should not be allowed.

What is the error message (if any)?

workflow fails to trigger.

hello @Jim_Olson

What is vars? You can’t chain anything to the webhook node as it should be the first node in a chain. However, you can access some ENV variables in it

I am using these global vars vars | n8n Docs

I don’t think it’s possible to dynamically set the path, as it should be registered once the workflow is active. What is the reason for it?

In that case, there should not be an expression option for that value. It is misleading.

You can submit a bug report on the github, so the issue will be tracked.
