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 14 nodes and runs when an HTTP GET request hits its webhook URL. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

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

  1. Input variables (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: youtubeVideoID
  2. HTTP Request: calls an HTTP API
  3. has intensity data? (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  4. Split Out: splits a list into separate items
  5. intensity > 0. (Filter): keeps only the items that match a condition
  6. Respond with "no results" (Respond to Webhook): sends the response back to the webhook caller
  7. millisecs to seconds (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: startSec
  8. Filter: keeps only the items that match a condition
  9. Create each moment (human readable) (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: humanReadableMessage, startSec, directYTURL
  10. Aggregate: combines items into one

…plus 2 more steps. See the full node list below.

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.
