Schedule Trigger Automate

Target Audience

• Developers: Those looking to automate the handling of webhook requests in their applications.
• Small Business Owners: Individuals who want to streamline their operations by processing webhooks efficiently.
• Data Analysts: Professionals needing to collect and analyze data from webhooks without manual intervention.
• Automation Enthusiasts: Individuals interested in creating automated workflows to enhance productivity.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of managing and processing incoming webhook requests automatically. It allows users to:

• Receive webhook requests at regular intervals.
• Filter and process only new requests since the last check, minimizing unnecessary data handling.
• Relay relevant data to a local n8n workflow, ensuring that no important information is missed.

Workflow Steps

1. Schedule Trigger: Initiates the workflow every 10 seconds, allowing for frequent checks for new webhook requests.
2. Retrieve Auth Token: Fetches the stored authentication token required for accessing the webhook service.
3. Check for New Requests: If an auth token exists, the workflow checks for any new requests received since the last processed timestamp.
4. Get Latest Requests: Retrieves any new requests from the webhook service.
5. Filter Unprocessed Requests: Filters the requests to identify those that are new and have not been processed yet.
6. Store Last Processed Time: Updates the timestamp of the last processed request to ensure future checks only consider new data.
7. Post to Local n8n Workflow: Relays the relevant data from unprocessed requests to a specified local n8n workflow for further handling.
