What this workflow does

This workflow has 3 nodes and runs on a fixed interval (legacy Interval node). It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

Trigger: On a fixed interval (legacy Interval node).

  1. Function Item: runs custom JavaScript per item (legacy Function Item node)
  2. Set (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

2 things in this workflow are removed in n8n 3.0. Fix them before you upgrade:

  • Function Item (legacy) in FunctionItem: replace with Code node, mode 'Run Once for Each Item'.
  • Interval in 2 hours Interval: replace with Schedule Trigger.
