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 22 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. Reformat JSON (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  2. Prompt for Additional Line-Item (n8n Form): shows the next form page
  3. Merge: merges the data from its input branches
  4. Loop: More Items? (Switch): routes items into branches
  5. Strip Add-Item Loop Metadata (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  6. Remove Add Decision (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  7. Set Invoice Number and Date (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  8. PayPal | Encode Basic Auth Token (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  9. Add Another Item (n8n Form): shows the next form page
  10. Combine New Items Into Master List (Merge): merges the data from its input branches

…plus 11 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.
