What it does

Quick overview This workflow hosts a simple notes web app in n8n, serving a static HTML UI via a webhook and providing CRUD API endpoints backed by an n8n Data Table. No separate website, database, or hosting. Everything — the UI, logic and data — runs in the same workflow. How it works 1. A manual run creates the "n8n-notes" Data Table (if it does not already exist) with columns for note title, body, color, and position. 2. A GET request to the /notes webhook returns a static HTML page that acts as the notes UI. 3. The UI calls the GET /notes-list webhook to fetch all notes from the n8n Data Table and display them in the browser. 4. When a note is added from the UI, the POST /notes-create webhook inserts a new row into the Data Table and returns the result. 5. When a note is edited or reordered, the PUT /notes-update webhook updates the matching Data Table row by id and returns the updated record. 6. When a note is deleted, the DELETE /notes-delete webhook removes the matching Data Table row by id and returns the deletion result. Setup 1. Run the manual trigger once to create the "n8n-notes" Data Table with the required columns. 2. Activate the workflow and copy the production URL for the GET /notes webhook, then open it in a browser to load the UI. 3. If you serve the UI from a different origin, ensure your environment allows cross-origin requests (the API webhooks enable CORS with allowedOrigins set to ).
