Ready for 3.0. This template uses no nodes that n8n 3.0 removes. No removed nodes, versions or helpers found. Static check, last run 2026-10-19.

What this workflow does

This workflow has 5 nodes and runs when an HTTP POST request hits its webhook URL. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

Trigger: When an HTTP POST request hits its webhook URL.

  1. Match Post ID (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  2. Match Comment Text (Filter): keeps only the items that match a condition
  3. Data (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: comment_id, my_ig_id, message
  4. Send DM (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (POST)

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
