I created a workflow with webhook as the triggered event, and I am sending request to this workflow in my node.js application
the problem is I am receiving 400 error saying Error in workflow but on the pipedream workflow, I see that all the steps have been processed and marked as tick

It seems like you’re encountering an issue where your Node.js application is sending a request to a Pipedream workflow, but you’re receiving a 400 error with the message “Error in workflow,” even though the workflow steps appear to be processed correctly. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Check the Webhook URL: Ensure that the webhook URL you’re using in your Node.js application is correct. Double-check for any typos or incorrect parameters. 2. Inspect the Request Payload: Verify that the request payload being sent from your Node.js application matches what the Pipedream workflow expects. Ensure that all required fields are included and correctly formatted. 3. Review Workflow Logs: In the Pipedream UI, review the logs for the specific workflow execution that resulted in the error. Look for any error messages or warnings that might provide more context about what went wrong. 4. Error Handling in Workflow: Ensure that your workflow has proper error handling in place. If any step in the workflow throws an error, it might cause the entire workflow to return a 400 status code. 5. Test with a Simple Request: Try sending a simple test request to the webhook URL using a tool like Postman or curl to see if the issue persists. This can help isolate whether the problem is with the Node.js application or the workflow itself. 6. Consult Pipedream Support: If you’re unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Pipedream support for further assistance. You can visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options. If you have any specific error messages or logs from the workflow, feel free to share them, and I can help you analyze them further.

can somebody please help me with this? or someone else?

this is probably happening because your application is expecting an HTTP response but your workflow is not returning a response

Could you please check if you configured your HTTP trigger to return a custom HTTP response from your workflow

And that there is no step that responds the HTTP request

ok thanks, let me add that and try

can you share relevant doc link?
how to send custom response in node.js step?

There’s an action you can select in the popular section: Return HTTP Response

Or use $.respond() in a code step: Running Node.js in workflows - Pipedream

if I respond in the middle of the workflow, is the rest part of the workflow gonna be processed or not?

‎Yes, it will

somehow I can stop workflow there?

Yes, see End Workflow - Pipedream
