What this node does

Send data to a webhook URL

Use it to POST workflow data to an external webhook endpoint, optionally sign it and wait for a response.

When not to use it

Do not use it to start this workflow; configure a Webhook event in Workflow Trigger.

Prerequisites

HTTPS endpoint controlled by the receiving system
Valid payload JSON
Shared secret when verification is required

Check before configuration

HTTPS endpoint controlled by the receiving system. Valid payload JSON. Shared secret when verification is required

Inputs and configuration fields

Send Webhook configuration fields
Field	Key	Control / type	Requirement	Default	Accepted values and behavior
`Webhook URL`	url	variable-input	Required when shown	No default	https://hooks.example.com/webhook. Variables supported
`Payload`	payload	json	Required when shown	No default	{ "event": "new_message", "contact": "{{contact.phone}}", "message": "{{context.message.content}}" }
`Secret Key`	secret	text	Optional	No default	For webhook signature verification. Value accepted by the displayed control
`Wait for Response`	wait_for_response	toggle	Optional	false	Wait for webhook to respond before continuing. Value accepted by the displayed control

Configure the node

Drag Send Webhook from Integrations in the node palette.
Select the node to open its configuration drawer.
Complete every required field and any conditional field revealed by your choices.
Insert variables only from the current trigger or an earlier node on the same path.
Connect every required output handle to the intended next step.
Save and run Workflow Test with representative data before activation.

Outputs

Later nodes can use these values only after this node has run successfully on the same execution path.

Send Webhook output variables
Variable	Type	Meaning
`{{nodes.webhook_send.sent}}`	boolean	Whether webhook was sent
`{{nodes.webhook_send.status_code}}`	number	Response status
`{{nodes.webhook_send.response}}`	object	Response body if waited

Execution behavior

Resolves the endpoint and payload.
Signs the request when a secret is configured.
Either waits for the response or continues according to Wait for Response.
Returns response or delivery outcome fields defined by the node.

Retries and usage

Do not assume a failed node is automatically retried. Review the execution result and the relevant service documentation before repeating an operation that could create a duplicate side effect.

Example use case

Notify an internal order system after a customer confirms a WhatsApp choice.

Complete workflow pattern

Message Received → Condition → Send Webhook → Send Text → End Flow

Common errors

Send Webhook common errors
Symptom	Resolution
`Endpoint rejects the request`	Inspect status and receiver logs; validate JSON and signature configuration.
`Timeout`	Keep the receiver fast or disable waiting only when downstream logic does not need the response.

Limitations

It is a workflow action, not a Developer Platform event subscription.

Never expose the signing secret in logs or prompts.

Current product limits

It is a workflow action, not a Developer Platform event subscription. Never expose the signing secret in logs or prompts.
