Step 1: Choose the Starting Node
Begin by selecting “On Webhook Call” as the starting node in your n8n workflow.
Step 2: Configure the Webhook Node
Keep the default configuration for now and copy the Production URL generated by n8n.
Step 3: Activate the Workflow
After configuration, activate your workflow in n8n to make the webhook endpoint live.
Step 4: Add the Webhook in AffPilot
Go to your AffPilot account and fill in the required webhook information.
Note:
If you have self-hosted n8n on a platform such as Render.com, your production URL might look like this:
You must remove the port number (:5678) and the colon (:).
The corrected URL should look like this:
Step 5: Verify the Webhook
Once the webhook is created in AffPilot, you’ll be prompted to verify it.
- You will receive a Secret Key during the verification step.
- Copy this key and go back to your n8n webhook configuration.
- Set the following options:
- HTTP Method: POST
- Authentication: Header Auth
- Click “Create New Credential” →
- Set the Name to APIKey
- Paste the Secret Key (received from AffPilot) into the Value field.
- Save both the Credential and the Workflow.
Step 6: Verify the Webhook
After saving, return to AffPilot and click “Verify Webhook”.
If everything is configured correctly, the webhook will be verified successfully.
Step 7: Start Using Your Workflow
Once verified, your n8n workflow is ready to process data from AffPilot webhooks.
You can now perform any desired automation or data processing within your workflow.
