Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

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

  • Read Binary File in read json file: replace with Read/Write Files from Disk.
  • Convert to/from binary data in move binary data 2: replace with Convert to File or Extract from File.

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

Removed in 3.0Replace with
Read Binary File
read json file
Read/Write Files from Disk
Convert to/from binary data
move binary data 2
