Quick overview
Quick overview This workflow verifies AppsMax application webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 and forwards only new application.created leads to an external HTTPS API. AppsMax receives success only after the destination returns 2xx. How it works The Webhook node receives a POST request from AppsMax and preserves the raw request body. Crypto calculates HMAC-SHA256 for the raw payload. Code compares it with the lowercase-hex X-Appsmax-Signature header. An invalid signature returns 401 without processing the payload. The event filter accepts only application.created. Other valid events, including application.test, return 204 without calling the destination. Edit Fields selects the minimum lead data and creates a stable idempotency key from the event and application state. HTTP Request posts the JSON payload with Idempotency-Key and X-Appsmax-Event headers. A downstream 2xx returns 200 to AppsMax. A 4xx, 5xx, timeout, or network failure returns 502, allowing the AppsMax delivery policy to retry. Setup In AppsMax, enable an outgoing application webhook and copy the n8n production webhook URL into its endpoint setting. Replace the placeholder webhook path with a long random value, then update the URL in AppsMax. Create an n8n Crypto credential, put the AppsMax webhook secret only in its HMAC Secret field, and attach it to the HMAC node. Replace example.invalid with an HTTPS endpoint you control. Configure destination authentication through an n8n credential, not in the URL or workflow JSON. Make the destination handle Idempotency-Key atomically and return 2xx for both a newly accepted event and an already accepted replay. Before activation, test a valid event, an invalid signature, application.test, a downstream failure, and a replay with synthetic data. Requirements An AppsMax project with an outgoing application webhook enabled n8n with the standard Webhook, Crypto, Code, If, Edit Fields, HTTP Request, and Respond to Webhook nodes A controlled HTTPS endpoint that accepts JSON and deduplicates repeated requests Customization Extend Edit Fields when the destination needs more application attributes. Add routing by lead source or status after the signature and event checks. Replace the generic HTTP destination with a CRM, ERP, help desk, or internal API while preserving the idempotency and response gates. Additional info This free template uses only standard n8n nodes; it is not a native AppsMax node. It contains no credential IDs, tokens, webhook secrets, or client data. Keep the workflow inactive until the test matrix passes. The AppsMax-side steps are documented in the AppsMax n8n guide. An n8n automation workflow template by AppsMax.ru.
