Use Cases
- Prevent concurrent executions of workflows triggered by webhooks.
- Ensure data consistency by managing access to shared resources.
- Handle duplicate requests gracefully without unnecessary processing.
How It Works
Receive incoming webhook data and parse the payload. Check Redis for existing locks to determine if the workflow can proceed. Attempt to acquire a Redis lock if no existing lock is found. Execute the workflow if the lock is acquired; otherwise, skip execution. Release the Redis lock after workflow completion.
Setup Steps
- 1Import the workflow template into your n8n environment.
- 2Configure the Redis credentials for lock management.
- 3Set up the incoming webhook to trigger the workflow.
- 4Test the workflow by sending sample webhook requests.
