Ready for 3.0

by Wolfgang Renner ✓ · 28 views · created 2026-07-25 · Social Media

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 8 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. Set Facebook Page ID (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: page_id
  2. Start Upload Session (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (POST)
  3. Upload Video from URL (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (POST)
  4. Wait: waits 8 seconds
  5. Finish Upload (Draft, Schedule or Publish) (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (POST)
  6. Build Reel Link (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  7. Respond with Reel Link (Respond to Webhook): sends the response back to the webhook caller

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

Nothing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0, so it should import and run after the upgrade.
