Description
N8N Fundamentals Course Information
Who is it aimed at?
This foundational course is specially designed for:
- DevOps professionals looking to automate business processes without complex code.
- Developers who need to orchestrate integrations between multiple services and APIs.
- Solution architects who design scalable automation ecosystems.
- IT operations teams managing repetitive workflows and manual tasks.
- Technical Product Managers seeking to optimize internal and external processes.
- Digital transformation consultants who help companies implement intelligent automation.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this training, participants should have:
- Basic knowledge of REST APIs and HTTP protocols
- General familiarity with system integration concepts
- Basic experience with automation tools (Zapier, Make, IFTTT, or similar).
- Basic handling of JSON and data structures
- JavaScript fundamentals (recommended but not required)
- Basic understanding of webhooks and asynchronous events
Course objectives
At the end of this intensive course, participants will have mastered:
- N8N architecture: deep understanding of the workflow engine and its ecosystem
- Designing complex flows: creating multi-step automations with advanced conditional logic
- Integration of 400+ services: native connection to APIs, databases and cloud platforms
- Credential management: secure storage and reuse of authentications
- Expressions and transformations: data manipulation with JavaScript and native functions
- Webhooks and triggers: triggering workflows by external events
- Subworkflows and modularization: building reusable and maintainable flows
- Error handling: implementation of recovery and retry strategies
- AI agents: integration with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and other LLMs
- Production deployment: self-hosting vs. cloud, scalability and monitoring
- Performance optimization: techniques for efficient and economical workflows
- Testing and debugging: methodologies for validating and correcting automations
What you will learn
- Setting up n8n and understanding how it works: self-hosted or in the cloud, nodes, triggers and how data moves from one node to the next.
- Connecting services: REST APIs, webhooks, Google Workspace, Slack and databases, with credentials stored properly.
- Transforming data: expressions and JavaScript to clean, filter and combine what comes in from each system.
- Adding AI: an agent with OpenAI or Claude inside a workflow.
- Keeping it running: error handling, retries and what to monitor once the workflow is in production.
The day ends with a complete workflow built in the lab.
