This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Stickynote Webhook Automate Webhook n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   In a digital landscape where leads can mean the difference between campaign success and underperformance, having tools that automate email and domain discovery can be a game changer. Icypeas, a robust platform for conducting large-scale email searches and domain scans, combined with n8n, a powerful open-source automation tool, creates a seamless data processing pipeline that runs in real-time.
   
   This article explores a dynamic n8n workflow that enables you to automatically retrieve and process results from Icypeas bulk searches. If you're looking to streamline data collection and subsequent actions—like adding leads to Lemlist—then this guide is for you.
   
   Real-Time Listening with Webhooks
   
   At the core of this automation lies the Webhook node — a powerful feature in n8n that listens for incoming HTTP requests. In this case, the webhook is set up to receive POST requests from Icypeas. When a search is conducted via the Icypeas platform, results are pushed almost instantly to the webhook.
   
   To achieve this, users must link their Icypeas account to the webhook. By copying the "Test URL" generated by n8n (later updated with the production URL), and pasting it into their user profile under the API section on Icypeas (https://app.icypeas.com/bo/profile), the two platforms become connected. This ensures that every time a row of search data is processed during a bulk search, the webhook receives a real-time notification.
   
   According to the Icypeas API documentation (https://api-doc.icypeas.com/category/push-notifications/), only email searches and domain scans are currently compatible with this notification system, with support for email verification workflows coming soon.
   
   Extracting the Essentials: Email, First Name, Last Name
   
   Once the Webhook node receives the data, the workflow continues with a Set node. This node’s function is to selectively extract the most relevant pieces of information from the payload—typically the lead’s email address, first name, and last name. These attributes are parsed using JSON paths that access the results array within the webhook data.
   
   By using this node, unnecessary data is filtered out, leaving only the key pieces of information needed for further action. This is especially useful for organizations who want to ingest clean, structured data into CRM systems, mailing platforms, or cold email tools like Lemlist.
   
   Extend and Automate: From Data Collection to Outreach
   
   While the n8n workflow described here stops at data preparation, the real power lies in what comes next. n8n's design allows users to easily continue the automation by adding new nodes. For instance, you can create an HTTP Request node to send the collected lead information to Lemlist and automatically generate new campaigns or follow-ups.
   
   The integration with Lemlist is optional but illustrative of how easily the pipeline can be extended. Whether you're using Lemlist, HubSpot, Airtable, or any other tool, n8n provides the flexibility to customize and scale your workflow according to your business needs.
   
   Benefits of This Workflow
   
   - Real-Time Data Processing: Fetch leads the moment they are discovered.
   - Seamless Integration: Connects Icypeas to a wide range of third-party tools.
   - Low-Code Customization: Modify nodes to serve different use cases without writing complex code.
   - Scalable Automation: Build a full lead generation and outreach engine with just a few clicks.
   
   Conclusion
   
   With tools like Icypeas and n8n, businesses can automate tedious manual processes, reduce response time, and get the most out of their lead generation efforts. This workflow offers a real-time, scalable, and easily customizable solution for collecting and acting upon valuable contact data—all without writing a single line of code.
   
   Whether you're a solo marketer, growth hacker, or part of a larger sales team, automating your onboarding process for leads discovered via email searches or domain scans will give you an edge in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.
   
   Try it today and start transforming how you gather and manage leads, one webhook at a time.

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
