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 15 nodes and runs on a schedule (every 60 minutes). It uses only n8n's built-in nodes. It also calls bsky.social over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: On a schedule (every 60 minutes).

  1. Create Session (HTTP Request): calls bsky.social (POST)
  2. List followers (HTTP Request): calls bsky.social
  3. Read followers from file (Read/Write Files from Disk): reads a file from disk
  4. Wait: pauses before continuing
  5. Extract from File: extracts data from a file (from json)
  6. Convert to File: converts data to a file (to json)
  7. Find new followers (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  8. Save followers to file (Read/Write Files from Disk): writes a file to disk
  9. Split Out: splits a list into separate items
  10. Loop Over Items (Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)): loops over the items in batches

…plus 3 more steps. See the full node list below.
