this is how my flow is designed, how can I replicate the first step ( letting a webhook trigger the flow and accept a payload?? )

- I have moved this away from **Developing Nodes**
- I have removed all tags that are not relevant.

If you want your flow to be triggered by a webhook, you should look at the **HTTP IN** node.  
This node allows Node RED to receive HTTP requests, giving you the ability to respond, such as triggering any actions in your flow.

I won't go into the security of setting this up - as your source will need to see Node RED for it to be achieved - and that is a different beast all together - covered many many many times on the forums.

ooo thanks! is there a specific tutorial that will help me do what you mentioned? You nailed it with your response, I never new http in could do that

I was thinking of using an API gateway in the middle to hide the nodered server

Sure, if you go here...

[https://cookbook.nodered.org](https://cookbook.nodered.org)

And scroll down to **HTTP endpoints** - it gives various examples on how it can be used, just tailor the examples to your needs 👍

In essence, the **HTTP IN** node listens on a URI `http://x.x.x.x:1880/<Your-Chosen-Prefix>`  
you then hang anything on the back of it.

But again - put security top priority!
