Needs changes. This template uses 1 thing(s) that n8n 3.0 removes: AI Agent v1 (old agent modes). 1 breaking item(s) found. Static check, last run 2026-10-19.

What this workflow does

This AI workflow has 10 nodes and runs on Evaluation events (plus 1 other trigger). Along the way it connects Evaluation and OpenAI Chat Model.

How it runs

Trigger: On Evaluation events (plus 1 other trigger).

  1. Format ticket input (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  2. AI Agent: runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Chat Model
  3. Evaluating? (Evaluation): check if evaluating
  4. Compare Classification (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  5. Respond to Webhook: sends the response back to the webhook caller
  6. Evaluation: uses Evaluation
  7. Set Metrics (Evaluation): set metrics

Services it uses

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

1 thing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0. Fix it before you upgrade:

  • AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in AI Agent - Classify Ticket (v1.9): replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.

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

Removed in 3.0Replace with
AI Agent v1 (old agent modes)
AI Agent - Classify Ticket (v1.9)
Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.
