🗲 Serve custom websites (HTML webpages) with webhooks

How it works

This workflow demonstrates how to use n8n to serve a complete, styled HTML webpage. It acts as a mini web server, responding to browser requests with your custom HTML content.

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts with a Webhook node configured to listen for GET requests on a specific path. When you visit this node's Production URL in a browser, it triggers the workflow.
2. Respond with HTML: The Respond to Webhook node is configured to send a response back to the browser.
   • Content-Type Header: It sets a crucial response header, Content-Type: text/html, which tells the browser to render the response as a webpage, not just plain text.
   • HTML Body: The entire HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the webpage is pasted directly into the Body field of this node.

When activated, visiting the webhook URL will instantly display the custom webpage.
