What You'll Learn

🔰
Day 1Install, Connect, Automate

Your First n8n Workflow

Install n8n (cloud or self-hosted), navigate the editor, and build your first automation. You'll create a working workflow that connects two services by the end of the day.

  • What is n8n and why it's different from Zapier/Make
  • Self-hosting vs n8n Cloud — which is right for you
  • The n8n Editor: nodes, connections, and the canvas
  • Building your first workflow: Webhook → Filter → Email
  • Testing, activating, and monitoring your workflow
🔗
Day 2Make Services Talk to Each Other

Connecting the Dots: Webhooks & APIs

Master webhooks and HTTP requests — the backbone of n8n automation. Connect any API, handle authentication, and process incoming data from any source.

  • Production vs test webhooks: when to use each
  • Handling JSON, form data, and file uploads
  • API authentication: API keys, OAuth, and Bearer tokens
  • The HTTP Request node: GET, POST, pagination, and error handling
  • Real-world pattern: Stripe webhook → Slack → Google Sheets
🧠
Day 3Shape Data, Branch Flows, Make Decisions

Data Transformation & Logic

Process and transform data with the Function node, IF/Switch branching, and merging. Learn to handle real-world messy data and build intelligent workflow logic.

  • The Function node: JavaScript transformations, date math, and data cleaning
  • IF vs Switch nodes: conditional logic patterns
  • Merge and Split nodes: combining and routing data streams
  • Working with dates, loops, and counters
  • Real-world pattern: Filter high-value orders → enrich with CRM data → notify team
🤖
Day 4LLMs, Classification, and Smart Workflows

AI-Powered Automations

Add AI to your workflows. Connect n8n to OpenAI, Ollama, or any LLM for content generation, sentiment analysis, data classification, and intelligent routing.

  • Setting up the AI nodes: OpenAI, Ollama, and custom LLMs
  • Text classification: categorize support tickets, reviews, and emails
  • Content generation: automated summaries, translations, and responses
  • Sentiment analysis: route negative feedback to priority support
  • Real-world pattern: RSS feeds → AI summarization → email newsletter
🚀
Day 5Error Handling, Monitoring & Deployment

Production Ready

Ship your automations to production. Error handling, retry logic, monitoring, version control, and deployment strategies for reliable, maintainable workflows.

  • Error handling patterns: try/catch, retries, and dead letter queues
  • Monitoring: workflow health checks, Slack alerts, and execution logs
  • Version control with Git: export, commit, and deploy workflows
  • Scaling: when to upgrade your VPS, database tuning, and rate limiting
  • Real-world pattern: End-to-end e-commerce automation pipeline
