Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

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

Item Lists (legacy) in Split Articles: replace with Split Out, Aggregate, Sort, Limit, Remove Duplicates or Summarize (match the operation used).

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