Hi,  
I am seeing that webhook works fine when testing (POST webhook), but it does not in Production.  
I noticed I have not defined the Webhook tunnel, so could this be the issue or should I look for something else?

Thank you very much.

Are you activating the workflow? If so, make sure you are copying the URL when the tab is `production.` Also, your URL should not be `localhost`. If your says localhost, then you have to set the env variable `WEBHOOK_TUNNEL_URL`.

Hi @RicardoE105,  
Yes I am activating 🙂. My configuration is as per the documentation:

# Folder where data should be saved

DATA\_FOLDER=/root/n8n/

# The top level domain to serve from

DOMAIN\_NAME=XXXX

# The subdomain to serve from

SUBDOMAIN=n8n

# DOMAIN\_NAME and SUBDOMAIN combined decide where n8n will be reachable from

# above example would result in: [https://n8n.example.com](https://n8n.example.com)

# The user name to use for autentication - IMPORTANT ALWAYS CHANGE!

N8N\_BASIC\_AUTH\_USER=XXXXX

# The password to use for autentication - IMPORTANT ALWAYS CHANGE!

N8N\_BASIC\_AUTH\_PASSWORD=XXXXXX

# Optional timezone to set which gets used by Cron-Node by default

# If not set New York time will be used

GENERIC\_TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin

# The email address to use for the SSL certificate creation

SSL\_EMAIL=XXXXX

Thank you.

Best,  
Jorge
