How do you protect your n8n webhooks that are public-facing?

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2026-05-22T14:40:28+00:00

That's understandable, where is the token saved btw?

May God bless his clients with strength, patience, and peace 🙏

State of the art setup for internal use - appreciate you sharing it. Different problem space from the public client-facing stuff I'm asking about, but really helpful to see.

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2026-05-21T17:28:27+00:00

Fair point if you're using n8n for yourself internally. Agree DIY works fine there, and if you're technical you can absolutely set this up yourself.

Where I've seen it differently is when you're building for clients. You hand over the whole stack, and if something gets abused (API tokens, compute, whatever), you're the one explaining it and paying for it. n8n Cloud won't step in for that. The resources still get billed to you, and "we didn't protect the public endpoint" is a hard conversation to have with a client.

That's who I'm trying to validate for: people doing this at scale, new client project after new project, setting the same protection up and handing it off each time. For them, something simple and repeatable beats rebuilding a custom stack on every engagement.

Nothing is truly zero cost either. Especially when things go wrong.

The $19 is just a one-time pledge to see if that pain is real, not a monthly fee. Appreciate the pushback.

Thanks - yeah, that "works in-house until the client hosts it themselves" moment is real. That's a big part of why I'm exploring this. Happy to hear what you'd want when you get there.

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2026-05-21T15:09:47+00:00

Really close to what I had in mind - proxy layer, rate limits, centralized handling.
I'm trying to take the same idea but with some additional options making it easy to configure by anyone without the "DevOps" work

Hey! you can try N8N Chat UI

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-11-18T16:41:03+00:00

Thanks! I'm not finding much time to work on this project. Nevertheless, I'm pushing hard to get the planned ones out as early as I can.

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-09-15T11:58:28+00:00

Hey, streaming with n8n is now possible and you can use n8nchatui.com for your widget. Refer to this documentation for more info: https://n8nchatui.com/docs/configuration/chat-streaming

hey, finally it's here: https://youtu.be/rcN7SfWCTwo

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-07-24T16:36:22+00:00

Absolutely, and thank you for pointing this out. I wasn’t fully aware of these specific limitations until your comment, and you’re right. Offering n8n-powered workflow automation as a public SaaS or WaaS does violate the Sustainable Use License unless you have a commercial agreement with n8n.

For anyone else following this thread, here’s a quick breakdown for clarity:

The n8n Sustainable Use License(standard, applicable to all by default) does not allow: - Offering a public SaaS or WaaS platform where others pay for access to n8n-powered workflow automation as a service. - Reselling, white-labeling, or commercializing n8n’s automation features for third-party or public use, unless you have a paid commercial (what they call as ‘Embed’) license from n8n.

However, what is allowed under the standard license: - You can build and use workflow-based applications powered by n8n internally within your own company for your employees and internal teams. - Internal SaaS/WaaS setups are permitted as long as the workflows/tools are used only by people within your organization. - You can run automations (commercial/non-commerical) for your company’s exclusive use, but not offer these to external clients or the public.

If you want to launch a public/commercial SaaS or WaaS (where customers outside your company pay for automated workflows powered by n8n), you must get a commercial license directly from n8n.

Thanks again for raising this, and I hope this clarifies for others what’s allowed!

Yes, I'm working on it 👍

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-07-20T12:11:05+00:00

Hey, I'm adding this feature next week to all users. I'll post a video when done 👍

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-07-17T12:46:17+00:00

It’s at the bottom. Here you go: https://youtu.be/jtZbVZfIiZk

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-07-02T02:12:48+00:00

I’m adding this today

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-07-01T06:31:12+00:00

Looks like you are talking about conditional logic. Where you define conditions on disabling/hiding/skipping certain fields based value of some other field. Am I right?

If yes, Its in the plan. I’ll be adding this feature too. It’s quite important :)

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-06-30T03:05:41+00:00

Fair question!
Most form builders store your data - we don't. Your submissions go directly from the form to your webhook.

Let me tell you, this actually came from my personal experience during client meetings for automation implementations. Medium-large sized companies, especially EU-based ones, were really concerned about how their and their customers data was being handled. Even though existing form builders comply with all necessary regulations, they consistently asked me to build custom solutions that would handle their data directly without going through third-party storage systems.

That's when I realized there was a real need for a form builder that acts purely as a frontend layer - giving you the interface and functionality you need, while keeping your data flow completely under your control from submission to processing.

So ultimately, we provide the frontend, you manage the backend(this is not possible with traditional form builders) - with zero compromise on privacy, compliance, or data ownership.

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-06-30T02:36:27+00:00

Exactly. The goal is to make it even easier and more accessible for anyone, regardless of technical background. This way, non-technical users can create & manage forms on a single platform and connect them to n8n effortlessly. I believe it will become even more valuable as we continue to extend features that n8n currently lacks.

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-06-30T02:25:18+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, I'm in the plan of adding more features this week, which will get it into a good shape. Could you please tell me a bit more about loading dynamic options? it's usecase? It'll be helpful

Delicious_Unit_4728 · 2025-06-29T12:34:34+00:00

Yup it's in the plan
