by Andreas Skaalerud · 5 views · created 2026-08-30 · Content Creation, Multimodal AI

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 9 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes. It also calls api.inwista.ai over HTTP.

How it runs

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

  1. Set media URL (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 2 fields: mediaUrl, language
  2. Submit transcription (HTTP Request): calls api.inwista.ai (POST)
  3. Wait: waits 15 seconds
  4. Check status (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  5. Is it done? (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  6. Get SRT (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  7. Has it failed? (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  8. Stop on failure (Stop and Error): stops the run with an error

HTTP calls to: api.inwista.ai
