How it runs
Trigger: When an HTTP GET request hits its webhook URL (plus 1 other trigger).
- Set URL (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields

- Item Lists: reshapes item lists (legacy Item Lists node)
- Extract Fields (HTML Extract): uses HTML Extract
- Complete Link (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields
- Format Date (Date & Time): formats or calculates dates
- Create RSS Items (Function Item): runs custom JavaScript per item (legacy Function Item node)
- Prepare Response (Function): runs custom JavaScript (legacy Function node)
- Respond to Webhook: sends the response back to the webhook caller

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
4 things in this workflow are removed in n8n 3.0. Fix them before you upgrade:
- Item Lists (legacy) in Item Lists: replace with Split Out, Aggregate, Sort, Limit, Remove Duplicates or Summarize (match the operation used).
- HTML Extract in Extract Posts, Extract Fields: replace with HTML node, 'Extract HTML Content' operation.
- Function Item (legacy) in Create RSS Items: replace with Code node, mode 'Run Once for Each Item'.
- Function (legacy) in Prepare Response: replace with Code node, mode 'Run Once for All Items'.
