Use case · Five minutes to a live webhook
Private automation, on your computer.
Your workflows, your data, your machine. Share only when a webhook needs the internet, and only for as long as it does.
The steps
Five minutes to a live webhook, start to finish.
One window. The parts the agent does come back with receipts you can reopen and undo.
- 01 New site → n8nOne click. It starts on https://hub.test with a trusted certificate.
- 02 Build the flow in n8nWebhook trigger → whatever you need. Local services on the dock (a WordPress site, a database) are a hostname away.
- 03 Share for the webhookSharing → Go live. The public address reaches your computer through a tunnel; paste it where the callback goes.
- 04 Stop when doneThe link goes dark; n8n keeps running privately. Nothing was deployed anywhere.
What you end up with
✓ Automation that never leaves your machine unless you say so
✓ Webhooks that work end to end during development
✓ Logs in the app, not in a terminal
