Concept (What You Learn) |
Hands-on Project (What You Build) |
1 |
Orientation: what is automation, where n8n fits (no-code/low-code landscape), course roadmap |
— (orientation ) |
2 |
Orientation: installing n8n (Cloud / Docker / npm), interface walkthrough |
Get n8n running and open your first blank workflow |
3 |
Workflows & the Manual Trigger |
Build a "Hello World" workflow that sends yourself an email |
4 |
Trigger nodes: Webhook & Schedule |
Scheduled workflow that fetches live weather data and logs it |
5 |
Core nodes: HTTP Request & Set |
Pull data from a public API and reshape it with the Set node |
6 |
Logic & branching: IF, Switch, Merge |
Workflow that routes data down different paths based on a condition |
7 |
Connecting & managing app credentials safely |
Connect Gmail + Google Sheets and test a read/write |
8 |
Data structure in n8n: items, JSON, expressions |
Transform Sheet data live using expressions |
9 |
Google Sheets automation, deep dive |
Auto-save Google Form responses into a Sheet + email alert |
10 |
WordPress automation basics |
Auto-publish a WordPress post from a Google Sheet row |
11 |
Email automation: Gmail/Outlook triggers |
Build an auto-reply system for incoming emails |
12 |
Slack API & bot basics |
Slack bot that posts a daily reminder |
13 |
Telegram Bot API |
Telegram bot that replies to user messages |
14 |
Discord bots & webhooks |
Discord bot that posts alerts from a workflow |
15 |
Designing multi-app workflows |
Connect Sheets + Telegram + Email into one workflow |
16 |
WhatsApp Bot API |
WhatsApp bot that replies to user messages |
17 |
Building an AI chatbot flow |
Simple Q&A chatbot running inside Telegram |
18 |
Memory & conversation context |
Add memory so your chatbot remembers earlier messages |
19 |
What is RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and why it matters |
Prepare and chunk a sample document set for retrieval |
20 |
Embeddings & vector stores, explained simply |
Generate embeddings for your documents and store them |
21 |
Building a RAG chatbot (PDF/website Q&A) |
Working chatbot that answers questions from your own PDF |
22 |
Error handling at node level |
Add try/catch style error handling to an existing workflow |
23 |
Error handling at workflow level & alerts |
Workflow that notifies you automatically on failure |
24 |
Human-in-the-loop (HITL) workflow design |
Add an approval step (Slack/email) before an action runs |
25 |
Web scraping basics with n8n |
Scrape a webpage and extract structured data |
26 |
Working with image/media APIs |
Build a meme generator bot (fetch image + add caption) |
27 |
Combining scraper + AI + auto-posting |
Bot that scrapes content, summarizes with AI, and auto-posts it |
28 |
Testing, versioning & backing up workflows |
Export/import workflows and set up a backup routine |
29 |
Capstone planning & architecture |
Design your capstone workflow on paper before building |
30 |
Capstone build & presentation |
Build, demo and present your final AI-automation project |
