TL;DR

Update the N8N_WEBHOOK_URL environment variable to reflect the correct domain after migrating the database.

Guidance

  • Verify that the N8N_WEBHOOK_URL environment variable is correctly set to the new domain after migration.
  • Check the database configuration to ensure it is pointing to the correct location.
  • Review the n8n documentation to understand how environment variables are used to configure the webhook URL.
  • Test the webhook functionality after updating the N8N_WEBHOOK_URL environment variable to ensure it is working as expected.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the environment variables not being updated after migrating the database. The provided debug information suggests that the n8n version and node.js version are up-to-date, but the webhook URL is not being updated correctly.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the N8N_WEBHOOK_URL environment variable to reflect the correct domain after migrating the database. This should resolve the issue with the webhook URL not being updated correctly.
