Intro to Workflows with n8n

Course Outline

This course introduces you to the fundamentals of building workflows with n8n, a powerful open-source automation tool. You’ll learn how workflows are structured, how to use triggers, action nodes, and data transformations, and how to add branching and merging for flexible automation. Through hands-on demos, you’ll create workflows that connect everyday tools like Gmail, Google Sheets, and Slack, while also exploring concepts like conditional logic and splitting tasks. By the end, you’ll have a strong foundation in workflow automation and the confidence to design your own projects.

Learning Outcomes

• Build and run automated workflows using n8n’s trigger, action, and transformation nodes.
• Apply branching, splitting, and merging to create dynamic, flexible automation flows.
• Confidently design and deploy workflows that save time and improve efficiency.
