Split in batches node currentRunIndex example
Needs changesNeeds changes. This template uses 1 thing(s) that n8n 3.0 removes: Function (legacy). 1 breaking item(s) found. Static check, last run 2026-10-19.
What this workflow does
This workflow has 5 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.
How it runs
Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow”.
- Function: runs custom JavaScript (legacy Function node)
- SplitInBatches (Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)): loops over the items in batches
- If: checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Set (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields
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 Function: 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).
| Removed in 3.0 | Replace with |
|---|---|
| Function (legacy) Function | Code node, mode 'Run Once for All Items' |
