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 4 nodes and runs when another workflow calls it. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

How it runs

Trigger: When another workflow calls it.

  1. If: checks a condition and branches into true / false
  2. encrypt (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  3. decrypt (Code): runs custom JavaScript code

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.
