Using a Bolt.diy-generated app as a frontend to n8n... (live workflow status via webhook?)

Hi!

I created a simple app using bolt that is basically a fancy form that acts as a frontend to an n8n workflow, using a webhook to trigger n8n. I’m wondering what the best way to provide live feedback to app from n8n during its execution would be. Like a live status - “finished stage 1”, “finished stage 2” etc. and how I’d be able to use it in the bolt app.

Thanks for any ideas you may have!

I love this! Best way to do this would be to store a status message in a database like Supabase. Then your frontend can watch for new status messages in the database and display those in realtime as they come up.

Thanks Cole - sounds like a plan. Beyond my coding skills but let’s see how Bolt handles it :slight_smile:
