**Problem:** Webhook not triggering workflow

**Steps to reproduce:**

2. Set up POST endpoint
3. Made request using Postman
4. No workflow execution appears

**Error messages:**
No error in logs, webhook just doesn't trigger

**What I've tried:**
- Checked webhook URL is correct
- Verified n8n is running on correct port
- Tested with different HTTP methods

**Additional context:**
Firewall is disabled, other workflows work fine
