- Prevent concurrent executions of workflows triggered by webhooks.
- Manage state and data integrity in automated processes.
- Handle duplicate requests efficiently in real-time applications.
Incoming webhook receives data to trigger the workflow. Fetch and parse the incoming data to extract necessary variables. Check Redis for existing locks to determine if the workflow can proceed. If no lock exists, acquire a Redis lock and execute the specified workflows. Handle duplicate requests by checking against existing lock values. Release the Redis lock after the workflow execution is complete.
- 1Import the workflow template into n8n.
- 2Configure the Redis credentials for lock management.
- 3Set up the incoming webhook URL to receive data.
- 4Test the workflow by sending a sample webhook request.
