Gmail Send & Wait Node Returning Partial Form Data in Multi-Node Workflow

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm using the Gmail Send & Wait node for client review, where I've chosen the Custom Form response type with 4 drop-downs and 4 text fields.

I have a workflow with two Send & Wait nodes: the first node successfully collects all form data, while the second node fails to return all data (e.g., if all four text fields are filled, it retrieves only three fields and labels one as “null”).

I'm wondering if having two of these nodes in one workflow is causing the issue, and whether using a sub-workflow might help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

N8N version: 1.80.3

Below is some guidance based on our documentation and best practices with n8n form nodes:

  • It appears that using two instances of the Gmail Send & Wait node with the Custom Form response type within a single workflow can lead to issues with field mapping. In your case, the second node seems to miss one text field while the first works as expected.
  • In workflows that rely on webhook-based nodes (like Send & Wait nodes collecting form responses), using more than one in a single execution path may cause data collisions or conflicts with the incoming responses.
  • One way to work around this is to isolate the response flows. Splitting the form response handling into separate sub-workflows can help ensure that each Send & Wait node uses its own context and webhook URLs. This separation limits any interference from one instance to another.
  • In practice, you could have your primary workflow trigger one sub-workflow for client review using one Send & Wait node and then, after its completion, trigger the next sub-workflow that uses the second Send & Wait node. This strategy keeps each response handler independent and may resolve the data loss issue you’re experiencing.

Overall, using a sub-workflow (or even separate workflows) for each Send & Wait instance is a recommended approach if you start seeing inconsistent or incomplete form responses in a single workflow.
