How it runs
Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow” (plus 1 other trigger).
- Stage OctoPrint Job (HTTP Request): calls octoprint-ip (POST)
- AI Agent: runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Chat Model; 9 tools (List OctoPrint Jobs, Pause OctoPrint Job, Start OctoPrint Job, Cancel OctoPrint Job…); memory: Simple Memory
- Discord: uses Discord
Services it uses
HTTP calls to: octoprint-ip
Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
1 thing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0. Fix it before you upgrade:
- AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in AI Agent (v1.9): replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.
Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
| Removed in 3.0 | Replace with |
|---|---|
| AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) AI Agent (v1.9) | Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent. |
