Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
2 things in this workflow are removed in n8n 3.0. Fix them before you upgrade:
- SerpApi (Google Search) in SerpAPI - Search Google: no direct replacement: call the SerpApi REST API with an HTTP Request tool, or use a verified community node.
- AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in AI company researcher (v1.6): 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 3.0 | Replace with |
|---|---|
| SerpApi (Google Search) SerpAPI - Search Google | No direct replacement: call the SerpApi REST API with an HTTP Request tool, or use a verified community node |
| AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) AI company researcher (v1.6) | Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent. |
