Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
1 thing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0. Fix it before you upgrade:
- Function (legacy) in Load Menu Config2, Extract Command4, Process Command2…: replace with Code node, mode 'Run Once for All Items'.
Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
