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 11 nodes and runs when someone submits an n8n form. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

Trigger: When someone submits an n8n form.

  1. Prepare Reels (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  2. Wait: pauses before continuing
  3. Download Reels When Ready (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  4. Reels Ready? (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  5. Structure Reels (Split Out): splits a list into separate items
  6. Filter the Best Reels to Upload (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  7. Send Reels 1 at a time (Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)): loops over the items in batches
  8. Download the Reels in the Right Format (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  9. Post To Instagram (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  10. Wait: pauses before continuing

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.
