Hey @makechinafreedom,

For your URL are you sure you are using https://internal.users.n8n.cloud/webhook/custom-erp and not something else?

the url I get for the email when I join the coure. here it is n8n Course Redirect

It should be the URL mentioned in the training not the one in the email, Try using the other URL and you should be all good.

In the left panel, select:

    Authentication: Header Auth
    URL: https://internal.users.n8n.cloud/webhook/custom-erp
    Options > Add Option > Split Into Items: toggle to true. This option will output each element of an array as its own item.
    Headers > Add Header:
        Name: unique_id
        Value: your_unique_id
