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 12 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

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

  1. instance base url (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: instanceBaseUrl
  2. get node types (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  3. extract name and latest version (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  4. Aggregate: combines items into one
  5. get all workflows (n8n): uses n8n
  6. get single workflow (n8n): get
  7. Split Out: splits a list into separate items
  8. If: checks a condition and branches into true / false
  9. node names that needs update (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: workflowName, info, workflowId
  10. Summarize: summarizes / groups the items

…plus 1 more step. 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.
