Needs changes. This template uses 2 thing(s) that n8n 3.0 removes: Item Lists (legacy), Function (legacy). 2 breaking item(s) found. Static check, last run 2026-10-19.

What this workflow does

This workflow has 12 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes. It also calls api.twitter.com over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow”.

  1. Fetch new followers (HTTP Request): calls api.twitter.com
  2. Item Lists: reshapes item lists (legacy Item Lists node)
  3. Fetching images (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  4. Resize (Edit Image): resize
  5. Crop (Edit Image): multi step
  6. Resize (Edit Image): resize
  7. Function: runs custom JavaScript (legacy Function node)
  8. Merge: merges the data from its input branches
  9. Edit Image: multi step
  10. HTTP Request: calls api.twitter.com

…plus 1 more step. See the full node list below.

HTTP calls to: api.twitter.com

  • Function (legacy) in Function: replace with Code node, mode 'Run Once for All Items'.

Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
