Simple API Endpoint Creation Workflow
This workflow creates a simple API endpoint through a Webhook node, capable of receiving HTTP requests with a name parameter and dynamically generating Google search links as a response. It requires no coding, allowing for the quick setup of a custom query interface, simplifying the complex processes of traditional API development. It is suitable for automation enthusiasts, developers, and educational training scenarios, making it an ideal choice for generating dynamic links.

Simple API Endpoint Creation Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow leverages n8n’s Webhook node to create a simple API endpoint capable of receiving HTTP requests containing name parameters and dynamically generating corresponding Google search links as responses. The core highlight is the ability to rapidly build a custom query interface without writing any code, supporting real-time testing and feedback.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional API development requires extensive coding and complex deployment. This workflow simplifies the process by visually constructing a flexible API endpoint that accepts parameters and returns dynamic content, significantly lowering the development barrier.
Use Cases
- Scenarios requiring rapid creation of custom query interfaces
- Needs for automated generation of dynamic URL links
- Teaching and demonstrating API design principles
- Testing and validating Webhook requests and responses
Main Workflow Steps
- Webhook Request Listener: Receives HTTP requests with
first_name
andlast_name
query parameters via the Webhook node. - URL String Creation: Uses the Set node to dynamically generate a Google search URL based on the received name parameters.
- Webhook Response: The Respond to Webhook node returns the generated search link as plain text to the requester.
Systems or Services Involved
- Built-in n8n nodes: Webhook, Set, Respond to Webhook
- External service: Google Search (indirectly accessed through the generated query URL)
Target Audience and Value
- Automation enthusiasts and developers looking to quickly prototype APIs
- Technical teams aiming to simplify interface development processes
- Educators and students teaching API design and automation workflows
- Any users seeking dynamic responses via Webhooks
This workflow is straightforward and intuitive, making it an excellent example for beginners learning about Webhooks and automated response mechanisms. It is also well-suited for various scenarios requiring rapid dynamic link generation.
cheems
This workflow automates the scheduled sending of fun messages and images to a designated Discord channel. It is set to trigger at various frequencies, including every Friday and Saturday at 9 AM, as well as every 30 minutes. This approach effectively enhances community engagement and interaction, reduces the hassle of manual operations, ensures the delivery of interesting content at specific times, boosts user participation, and fosters a positive community atmosphere. It is suitable for community management and teams looking to automate message delivery.
Docker Registry Image Tag Periodic Cleanup Workflow
This workflow automates the management of tags in the Docker image repository by regularly scanning and deleting expired or redundant tags, while retaining only the latest few and the "latest" tag, thereby keeping the repository tidy. After the cleanup, garbage collection is performed, and the operations team is notified of the results via email, with support for failure alerts. This enhances operational efficiency and space utilization, addressing issues of wasted storage resources and management chaos.
Eventbrite Order Status Real-Time Trigger
This workflow automatically captures events such as order creation, updates, and refunds by real-time monitoring of the order status changes in Eventbrite. Once a change occurs, the system immediately triggers subsequent automated actions to ensure timely response and processing of order data. This real-time monitoring mechanism significantly enhances order management efficiency, helping event organizers, marketing teams, and finance departments quickly respond to order dynamics, thereby optimizing customer service and financial processes.
Public Webhook Relay
This workflow receives external POST requests through a public Webhook and automatically forwards them to local processes. It periodically polls for new requests, automatically manages authorization tokens and request statuses, ensuring reliable data transmission. Users can securely receive and process Webhook notifications in a local environment without the need to set up a public server, making it suitable for various scenarios such as development, testing, and data forwarding, significantly improving work efficiency and lowering technical barriers.
Multi-File Download and Merge Example Workflow
This workflow enables the automatic batch download of multiple specified URL files and merges the individual binary file data into a unified data item, simplifying the file processing process. By manually triggering the workflow, users can conveniently download the required resources, avoiding the inefficiencies and error risks associated with downloading files one by one. It is applicable in various scenarios such as marketing, content management, and data analysis, significantly enhancing work efficiency.
Workflow Importer
This workflow enables the automatic import of workflows from local files or remote instances. It supports reading and parsing JSON format files, simplifying the migration process across instances or from local files. Users can select the target workflow and manage credential mapping to ensure the validity and security of the imported credentials. The workflow provides instant feedback, enhancing the user experience, and is particularly suitable for team collaboration, workflow sharing, and batch import scenarios, effectively reducing the risks associated with manual operations.
Sse Automation Triggered
This workflow uses an SSE (Server-Sent Events) trigger to receive event pushes from a specified URL in real-time. It is designed to continuously listen for server events and respond automatically, making it suitable for scenarios that require real-time data updates. The process is straightforward, consisting of only one SSE trigger node, making it ideal for developers, operations personnel, and business teams looking to automate responses to external events. Overall, this workflow helps build real-time monitoring and event-driven automation processes, enhancing response speed and operational efficiency, and can be further expanded to achieve complex automation task chains.
n8n Subworkflow Dependency Graph & Auto-Tagging
This workflow automatically analyzes and constructs a dependency graph between workflows, helping users identify the callers of sub-workflows and automatically tagging them. Through visual charts, users can intuitively understand the call frequency and structure between workflows, reducing maintenance costs and preventing operational errors. At the same time, this workflow is suitable for teams and enterprises managing complex automation processes, enhancing workflow management efficiency and ensuring the stability and healthy development of processes.
