Why does my production form trigger URL return a 404 error in n8n?

I built a simple form to test its appearance. Using the test URL, the form loads fine, but when I switch to the production URL, it shows the following error:
PLAINTEXTOops, couldn’t find that 404 Error
I receive the same 404 error message in both the main display and error logs. Below is my n8n setup information:
- n8n version: 1.81.0
- Database (default: SQLite): AWS
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
- Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): n8n cloud
- Operating system:
Has anyone encountered this issue or can offer guidance on resolving the 404 error when switching from test to production URL?

It sounds like you’re encountering the 404 error because the production URL isn’t active yet. In n8n, when using a production URL (unlike the test URL), the workflow must be saved and activated. Here are a few steps to help resolve the issue:
- Activate the Workflow:
Ensure that your form workflow is saved and activated. The production URL only works for active workflows. - Check Form Trigger Setup:
Verify that you’ve switched the n8n Form Trigger node to use the Production URL (via the From URLS selector) and that all form settings are correct. - Double-Check the URL:
Make sure that you’re using the correct production URL (instead of the test URL) when testing the form in production mode.
Once these steps are completed, try accessing the production URL again. This should resolve the 404 error if everything is set up properly.
