Webhook Entry & Initial Decryption Block**\n\n**Nodes involved:**\n\n* `Webhook1`\n* `move to base64`\n* `[partially visible node for decryption using RSA + AES]`\n\n**Description:**\n\nThe workflow begins with the `Webhook1` node, which listens for incoming HTTP POST requests. These requests typically contain encrypted data that needs to be decoded to proceed with processing.\n\nOnce received, the `move to base64` node reformats the incoming encrypted components (`encrypted_flow_data`, `encrypted_aes_key`, and `initial_vector`) into binary buffers. These are required inputs for decryption.\n\nThen, the custom JavaScript code (cut off in your snippet) uses a private RSA key to decrypt the AES key, which in turn is used to decrypt the actual data payload (likely using AES-GCM). This is a secure hybrid encryption method\u2014RSA for key exchange, AES for data encryption.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83e\udde0 **2. Payload Parsing & Preprocessing Block**\n\n**Node involved:**\n\n* `Json Parser`\n\n**Description:**\n\nHere, we take the decrypted JSON payload from Whatsapp Flows and parse key elements from it. This helps standardize and clean the input before deciding what kind of logic or response should follow based on user interaction.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd00 **3. Flow Decision Block**\n\n**Node involved:**\n\n* `Switch`\n\n**Description:**\n\nThis decision-making node routes the workflow depending on the screen context extracted earlier.\n\nE.g., If the screen where the user is exchanging information is appointment date:\n\n* `\"APPOINTMENT\"` \u2192 follow the logic that handles scheduling data.\n\nThis allows dynamic routing within the workflow, making it adaptable to different user journey steps or screens.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udcc6 **4. Appointment Data Handling Block**\n\n**Nodes involved:**\n\n* `Data Extraction Code`\n* `Respond to Webhook1`\n\n**Description:**\n\nWhen the screen is `\"APPOINTMENT\"`, the `Data Extraction Code` node processes appointment data\u2014typically grouping appointment slots by date. This is useful for summarizing available times, perhaps to show a user a calendar view of options.\n\nThe results are then sent back as a plain text response using `Respond to Webhook1`, which finalizes the API call and ensures a secure end-to-end interaction using Whatsapp Flows.\n\n\n### \ud83e\udde9 **Summary**\n\nThis n8n workflow handles encrypted user interactions and adapts dynamically based on the screen or step the user is currently in. Here's the general pattern:\n\n1. **Webhook receives encrypted data**\n2. **Data is decrypted using hybrid RSA-AES encryption**\n3. **Parsed to extract the current step (`screen`)**\n4. **Conditional logic decides which path to follow**\n5. **Extracts relevant information (e.g., appointments)**\n6. **Returns response back to the user interface or chatbot**\n"}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {"Webhook1": [{"body": {"initial_vector": "PFfPS7sPwJqYWLySIGWF/Q==", "encrypted_aes_key": "A2BJ/NRN0WsSHZ8KeH1mUreTHICGMprbvh8BP7vEAIyIxeADgtYODJNkJ5P77WsAtJkIx8BwibiWlPfdJlBFaYeQx86hllirf4GygagECsgEJyNX0B98rpx/0eic4FqdR/8bqDWNFZbi7i78vMDG4x+9PArJIwkXWtzuLaLtM2J5j/SAx2y3PV5pKeYqcfg7w/uYlubmkKZjJYuSLmIOHbdO5mmvblDBm8ap5COVvEzK18K3VYyT8BVzawUgfxxhlyCBd7bB36vcS8iKkTl6EFgkPqFmpcCOmZNSmnsJ5tu+e7uRX8OgwryqbFNfb/plZGUPTQJZlrObFO8rw22yJQ==", "encrypted_flow_data": "tkGedq3MER+FadPJh3W6amE18m0x1Xzge6cqPeb5sNkBgOfTtHkRrHuuLjrLG+MvOd9oSzFXdx4sT90cliJSLfp0uUBtVCnBT33Qa5PF87E/iNRtyOCW4Jcp1yv1po54jSVWnVjhgZRCt9akyjBYK1v2YJW5qxarsvFDFsZMsEOOMMOLtOWHGgGGS+tKR5PB7X4WwMHrlCLG9j0yT1U="}, "query": {}, "params": {}, "headers": {"host": "n8n.doubleit.com.br", "accept": "*/*", "connection": "upgrade", "user-agent": "facebookexternalua", "content-type": "application/json", "content-length": "657", "accept-encoding": "deflate, gzip", "x-hub-signature": "sha256=8e8d012f89e53d0a67aa31c19b472636e55b2e86e1569af9b200eb65839a39ce", "x-hub-signature-256": "sha256=5deea4ea13d95f1da43be49579528f5928e29cb7772abd2455d319ff7396df4e"}, "webhookUrl": "https://n8n.doubleit.com.br/webhook/flow", "executionMode": "production"}]}, "connections": {"Switch": {"main": [[{"node": "Data Extraction Code", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Data Extraction Code1", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Webhook1": {"main": [[{"node": "move to base64", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Json Parser": {"main": [[{"node": "Switch", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Encrypt Return": {"main": [[{"node": "Respond to Webhook1", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "move to base64": {"main": [[{"node": "Decryption Code", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Decryption Code": {"main": [[{"node": "Json Parser", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Encrypt Return1": {"main": [[{"node": "Respond to Webhook2", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Data Extraction Code": {"main": [[{"node": "Encrypt Return", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Data Extraction Code1": {"main": [[{"node": "Encrypt Return1", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
