Unknown. This template uses community nodes we can't verify statically. Uses community nodes that can't be verified statically (unverified community packages are off by default in 3.0). Static check, last run 2026-10-19.

What this workflow does

This workflow has 16 nodes and runs when someone submits an n8n form (“Facebook Ad Thief Form”). Along the way it connects Google Drive and Apify (community). It also calls generativelanguage.googleapis.com over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: When someone submits an n8n form (“Facebook Ad Thief Form”).

convert_product_image_to_base (Extract from File): extracts data from a file (binary to propery)
scrape_ads (Apify): run actor and get dataset
iterate_ads (Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)): loops over the items in batches
download_image (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
upload_ad_reference (Google Drive): uses Google Drive
convert_ad_image_to_base (Extract from File): extracts data from a file (binary to propery)
Merge: merges the data from its input branches
Aggregate: combines items into one
build_prompt (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 1 field: prompt
generate_ad_image_prompt (HTTP Request): calls generativelanguage.googleapis.com (POST)

…plus 5 more steps. See the full node list below.

Services it uses

Google DriveApify (community)

HTTP calls to: generativelanguage.googleapis.com

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

We can't fully verify this one: it relies on 1 community package, and n8n 3.0 turns unverified community packages off by default (N8N_UNVERIFIED_PACKAGES_ENABLED=false).

Check that @apify/n8n-nodes-apify is verified or supports 3.0 (used in scrape_ads).
