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 Generate Script (v1.9), Generate Idea (v1.9), Generate Music Prompt (v1.9): replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.
- Also check Always Output Data on multi-output nodes (If/Switch) now adds an empty item only when every output is empty.
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) Generate Script (v1.9), Generate Idea (v1.9), Generate Music Prompt (v1.9) | Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent. |
