📬 Magic Inbox Receiver

AI-generated

Summary

Receive messages or workflows from other n8n instances or Magic Forum via a webhook and process them either by automatically importing workflows (Simple mode) or by returning raw message data for custom logic (Advanced mode).

Inputs

  • Inbox Mode (required) — Select 'Simple' to auto-import received workflows into your n8n instance, or 'Advanced' to receive raw message data for manual processing.
  • Your n8n Instance URL (required) — URL of your n8n instance where received workflows are imported (required in Simple mode).
  • n8n API Key (required) — API key used to authenticate workflow import requests to your n8n instance (required in Simple mode).
  • Auto Import — Enable automatic import of received workflows into your n8n instance (Simple mode only, defaults to true).
  • Enable Whitelist — Restrict processing to messages from specified trusted senders.
  • Allowed Senders — Comma-separated list of allowed sender identifiers (e.g., email or URL); used if whitelist is enabled.

Output shape

a single webhook invocation producing one output item containing details of the received message/workflow

In Simple mode with auto-import enabled and a valid workflow attached, the node attempts to import the workflow into the specified n8n instance and returns import success status and metadata. In Advanced mode, the node outputs the full raw incoming message data unchanged for further workflow processing. If whitelist is enabled and the sender is not allowed, the node outputs a rejection message instead.

Examples

Example 1: Receive and auto-import a workflow sent from another n8n instance

Set Inbox Mode to Simple, provide your instance URL and API key, and enable Auto Import. The node listens for incoming POST requests at /webhook/magic-inbox and automatically imports valid workflows into your instance.

Example 2: Receive raw incoming messages for custom processing

Set Inbox Mode to Advanced. The node outputs all incoming message data unchanged, allowing your workflow to implement custom logic such as validating, transforming, or routing messages.
