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 3 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.

Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow”.

  1. Set path to file and converter (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 2 fields: path_to_converter, path_project_file
