❌ Not Supported — Platform constraint

Why It's Not Supported

The n8n Form Trigger generates and hosts HTML forms directly on the server. This requires a server-side template engine and file system access that are not available on the indie.money platform.

Alternatives

Use one of these supported approaches to collect form data:

AlternativeHow
Webhook + external formUse the Webhook trigger and build your form with any form builder (Google Forms, Tally, HTML page). Point the form's action URL to your webhook
Typeform TriggerConnect a Typeform form — triggers automatically on each submission
JotForm TriggerConnect a JotForm form — triggers automatically on each submission
Formstack TriggerConnect a Formstack form — triggers automatically on each submission

Migrating a Workflow

If you have an n8n workflow that uses the Form Trigger:

  1. Replace the Form Trigger node with a Webhook node
  2. Set the Webhook to accept POST requests
  3. Create your form externally and set its action URL to the webhook URL
  4. Map the form field names to match what downstream nodes expect

The rest of your workflow (data processing, API calls, storage) works unchanged.
