Needs changes. This template uses 3 thing(s) that n8n 3.0 removes: Cron, HTML Extract, Function (legacy). 3 breaking item(s) found. Static check, last run 2026-10-19.

What this workflow does

This workflow has 9 nodes and runs on a schedule (legacy Cron node) (plus 1 other trigger). Along the way it connects Baserow and SendGrid. It also calls tradegate.de over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: On a schedule (legacy Cron node) (plus 1 other trigger).

Baserow: uses Baserow
Fetch tradegate stock page (HTTP Request): calls tradegate.de
Parse tradegate stock page (HTML Extract): uses HTML Extract
Format result (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields
Calculate change (Edit Fields (Set)): sets or maps fields
Build HTML (Function): runs custom JavaScript (legacy Function node)
SendGrid: work with mail

Services it uses

Baserow SendGrid

HTTP calls to: tradegate.de

Scraping pages by hand? Firecrawl is a simpler option (10% off for new users).

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

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

Cron: replace with Schedule Trigger.
HTML Extract in Parse tradegate stock page: replace with HTML node, 'Extract HTML Content' operation.
Function (legacy) in Build HTML: 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
Cron Cron	Schedule Trigger
HTML Extract Parse tradegate stock page	HTML node, 'Extract HTML Content' operation
Function (legacy) Build HTML	Code node, mode 'Run Once for All Items'
