Webhook Node
Hi everyone, how are you doing?
I'm facing an issue with the Webhook node in Typebot and would like to know if anyone has experienced something similar — or if there’s a known bug related to it.
I have a flow in n8n that starts from an HTTP Request sent by Typebot. The flow runs normally and, at the end, makes another HTTP Request back to the Webhook in Typebot, which should continue the chat with the returned message.
The problem is that Typebot finishes the flow before receiving the response from n8n, which theoretically shouldn’t happen.
My n8n flow takes quite a long time to process, so I can’t just use a single HTTP Request — I really need to rely on the Webhook to handle the asynchronous response properly.
I’ve tried different configurations, response modes, and wait times, but the issue persists. The current documentation about the Webhook node is quite limited, so I can’t tell whether this is a misconfiguration or an actual limitation/bug.
Has anyone successfully made the Webhook node work with a long asynchronous n8n flow? Is there any more complete documentation or a practical example I can look at?

Please provide more info, Webhook block should always wait for N8N to call it before continuing
That’s exactly what I described in my message — the Webhook block should wait for n8n to call it before continuing, but in my case it doesn’t.
I’m sharing screenshots of both my Typebot and n8n flows to help clarify the context.
Is there any specific configuration that needs to be set in Typebot for the Webhook block to work properly?
It does not: Show a video recording then
So that we understand better 🙂
For you case @Laura I think you should use the listen for webhook block in typeboy
As you can see in the video, my Typebot flow starts the n8n workflow, but the Typebot flow ends long before the n8n flow finishes — as if the “Listen for Webhook” block wasn’t actually waiting for the response from n8n.
I’m using the “Listen for Webhook” block in Typebot — is that what you’re referring to?
