HTTP Request and PostBin integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for HTTP Request and PostBin and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Data & Storage workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect HTTP Request and PostBin

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure HTTP Request and PostBin nodes

You can find HTTP Request and PostBin in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure HTTP Request and PostBin nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect HTTP Request and PostBin

A connection establishes a link between HTTP Request and PostBin (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your HTTP Request and PostBin integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect HTTP Request and PostBin with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your HTTP Request and PostBin workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from HTTP Request to PostBin or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Test Webhooks in n8n Without Changing WEBHOOK_URL (PostBin & BambooHR Example)

Using PostBin to Test Webhooks Without Changing WEBHOOK_URL

How it Works
Many new n8n users struggle with testing webhooks when running n8n on localhost, as external services cannot reach localhost. This workflow introduces a technique using PostBin, which provides a temporary, publicly accessible URL to receive webhook requests.

Generates a temporary webhook endpoint via PostBin.
Uses this endpoint in place of localhost to test webhooks.
Captures and displays the incoming webhook request data.
Enables debugging and iterating without modifying the WEBHOOK_URL environment variable.

Set Up Steps
Estimated time:** ~5–10 minutes
Create a PostBin instance to generate a publicly accessible webhook URL.
Copy the PostBin URL and use it as the webhook destination in n8n.
Trigger the webhook from an external service or manually.
Inspect the request payload in PostBin to verify data reception.

(EXAMPLE) Using PostBin for Webhook Testing in a BambooHR Integration

How it Works
In this example, we apply the PostBin technique to a BambooHR integration. Instead of manually configuring a webhook in BambooHR, this workflow automates webhook registration using the BambooHR API. The workflow:

Uses the BambooHR API to programmatically register the PostBin URL as a webhook.
Retrieves the most recent webhook calls made by BambooHR to the PostBin URL.
(Optional) Sends a personalized Slack message for new employees using OpenAI.

Set Up Steps
Estimated time:** ~15–20 minutes
Set up PostBin using the steps from the first section.
Log into BambooHR to generate an API key for authentication.
Run the workflow to register the PostBin URL as a webhook in BambooHR via the API.
Retrieve recent webhook calls from PostBin to validate data reception.
(Optional) Send a Slack notification using the processed data.
