Hello @Ludovic_Gagnon! Welcome to the forums :smiley:

To use the response node data in an app, I believe that app would need to be the calling source for the workflow.

In this case, I think you’d need to trigger your N8N workflow call/response within the Retool workflow itself. The Retool app would trigger the Retool workflow and then return the N8N data back to the app to use.

ETA: You could also consider writing the response data somewhere (like the Retool DB) and then query for the data within your app.

Welcome to the community, @Ludovic_Gagnon! I'm curious to know if you've continued to work on this. To @pyrrho's point, it sounds like you might need to consider a slightly different setup. There's currently no way to "push" data into a Retool app, meaning you'll need to store that data somewhere and then fetch it from within an app.
