Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

2 things in this workflow are removed in n8n 3.0. Fix them before you upgrade:

  • AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in AI Agent (v1.9), Sales Writing Assistant (v1.9): replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.
  • HTTP Request Tool (legacy) in Tavily: replace with HTTP Request node connected to the AI Agent's Tool input.

Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
