Start automating with n8n&mdash;the open-source workflow automation platform. Learn what makes n8n unique among no-code tools, explore its drag-and-drop canvas, and master triggers, nodes, and connections. By chapter's end you'll build complete workflows that capture form data, call external APIs, and transform outputs with Edit Fields.

Getting Started with Workflow Automation

Add decision-making power to your n8n workflows. Use If and Switch nodes to branch logic based on conditions, write expressions to access and reshape dynamic data, flatten nested JSON structures, and merge multiple datasets into a single unified output&mdash;all without writing code.

Building Smarter Workflows with Conditional Logic

If vs. Switch

Splitting flows with If logic

Handling many outcomes

Working with Expressions and Dynamic Data

Static vs. dynamic values

Being expressive

Squashing nested data!

Combining and Structuring Data

Merging datasets seamlessly

What happens to unmatched records?

Logic, Conditions, and Data Transformation

Supercharge your automations with AI. Connect OpenAI-powered Agent nodes to your n8n workflows, craft prompts that classify and summarize text, route outputs through conditional branches, and build end-to-end pipelines that collect form input, enrich it with LLM intelligence, and deliver personalized results&mdash;no code required.

Introducing LLMs into Workflows

Rule-based or LLM?

Build your first Agent workflow

Use the Agent's output downstream

Personalizing and Categorizing with LLMs

Classify and route customer feedback

Draft a personalized response

Building a Complete Automated Workflow

Should this be automated?

Intelligent Automation with LLMs

Stop wasting hours on repetitive tasks&mdash;automate them with n8n, the open-source platform trusted by thousands of teams worldwide. Master n8n's drag-and-drop canvas to build workflows triggered by forms, call live APIs, and transform data on the fly. Add smart decision-making with If and Switch nodes, write expressions to reshape dynamic data, and merge multiple sources into clean, unified outputs. Then take it further&mdash;connect OpenAI-powered Agent nodes to classify, summarize, and personalize text, creating end-to-end AI-driven pipelines. No coding required. Just real-world automation skills you can apply immediately.

<h2>Why Workflow Automation?</h2> Every team has repetitive tasks that drain time and attention — copying data between tools, routing messages to the right person, formatting spreadsheet exports, or triaging incoming requests. Workflow automation eliminates this manual work by connecting your tools and letting triggers, logic, and data transformations handle the rest. n8n is the open-source platform that makes this accessible to everyone: a visual, drag-and-drop canvas where you build automations without writing a single line of code. In this course, you'll go from zero to building complete, intelligent workflows — including ones powered by AI. <br><br> <h2>Get Hands-On with the n8n Canvas</h2> You'll start by learning what makes n8n unique among automation tools and how its node-based architecture works. Then you'll get hands-on immediately: importing and executing your first workflow, adding triggers to kick off automations, and building workflows from scratch. You'll master Form Triggers to collect user input, Manual Triggers for on-demand execution, and Edit Fields nodes to create, reshape, and filter data. By the end of the first chapter, you'll be building workflows that capture form submissions, call live APIs for real-time exchange rates, and add timestamps — all through n8n's visual interface. <br><br> <h2>Add Logic and Transform Data</h2> Real-world automations need decision-making. In the second chapter, you'll add conditional logic using If nodes for binary decisions and Switch nodes for multi-way routing. You'll write expressions to access dynamic data from previous nodes, standardize messy text with string methods like toLowerCase(), and flatten nested JSON structures into clean, usable fields. The chapter culminates with the Merge node — combining data from multiple sources by matching on shared fields, a fundamental data integration skill you'll use in every serious automation. <br><br> <h2>Supercharge Workflows with AI</h2> The final chapter brings large language models into your automations. You'll connect OpenAI-powered Agent nodes to summarize customer feedback, classify text into categories like positive, negative, or neutral, and route the results through conditional branches. You'll learn to craft effective prompts, reference dynamic data inside them, and chain multiple AI steps together. The course ends with a capstone project: a complete onboarding pipeline that collects form data, prepares it for classification, determines a customer's tier using an LLM, routes to the appropriate branch, and drafts a personalized welcome message — all without writing code.
