Not gonna lie, n8n is scary the first time you open it.And this is coming from a decade of experience automating workflows.Previously, I’d taught myself how to use marketing automation starting with Marketo and Pardot... then no-code automation like Zapier and Make (back before the rebrand, when Make was still called Integromat even).None of this prepared me for all the {{ curly braces }} JavaScript notation in n8n. And all the JSON it wanted me to use.In those first few minutes of trying out n8n, it felt too technical.I was excited to build some awesome AI workflows. So many people are recommending n8n for AI agents and workflow automation.But {{ $seeing.stuff.like.this() }}... and being expected to use it?That felt STRESSFUL.Turns out, you don't need to know how to write JavaScript or JSON to use n8n at all. (You might learn how to read it though.)It was way easier than I expected.
It's had a massive surge in popularity, and for good reason:
n8n is often less expensive to run than Make, Zapier, and other AI workflow builders
n8n does a bunch of things the competitors don’t
n8n is more AI-native than its competitors (and usually gets new AI updates faster)
n8n's community is thriving, with tons of workflows being shared for free all the time
And once you get used to it, you'll notice n8n is actually a better-designed tool than its competitors
So, I bit the bullet. Dove back into n8n. Figured things out.And you know what?Once you learn ~3 things, n8n becomes WAY more usable...and way less intimidating, even for someone who can’t write code like myself.And then you're off to the races.
You just need to understand a handful of technical concepts.Enough to know how to ask ChatGPT or n8n's internal AI for help if you get stuck.They’re not that bad to learn.I’m now convinced anyone sufficiently interested in AI and automation can get really good at n8n.Once you do...
I love prompting. If you're reading this, you probably know that about me.You may have taken my top-rated prompting courses Prompting Essentials and Prompting Mastery even.But, by itself, a prompt is just a single, disconnected step. A step in what could be a full process that accomplishes an ambitious goal.Prompts aren't connected to your data, your software, or the things you're doing.To truly get insane value from AI, you've got to be able to string together prompts inside workflows.Automations—So, here's the deal...I've logged 1000+ hours of experience building automations, and have made over $100,000 as a consultant setting up AI automations and prompts for others.And now I’ve just taken my own journey in figuring out n8n.All those steps (and missteps) are fresh in my mind.
In the last few months, I’ve watched a ton of n8n YouTube videos...subscribed to multiple paid automation trainings...and downloaded and implemented dozens of n8n workflows.And you know what?I don’t want you to have to spend all the time and effort I just did sifting through all the slop out there.If you want to learn n8n, I want to save you dozens of hours of searching through content, and dozens more of being frustrated when things don’t work like they’re supposed to.That's why I’ve created this N8N CRASH COURSE with a specific focus on AI and automation.
Most courses go through each feature, one at a time, teaching you theory and expecting you to retain all that info when you’re doing your own builds.It's dull, tedious, and you have to complete hours of course material before you're ready to get started.I flip things around and provide project-based lessons focused on practical skills.You'll learn via actual workflows – so you can see how automation works in the real world (and how you might use something similar for your own needs).In fact, by the end of the first module, you'll already have created your first 2 automations.Along the way I'll even offer you optional puzzles, a fun way to practice concepts and stretch your brain.

Data can be messy, but learning to handle it and pass it around is crucial.Here you'll learn to handle JSON, n8n's preferred format.You'll also learn how to loop, fork, filter, and otherwise control how your automation flows, making sure it only takes action when you want it to.
VALUE: $199
In this module, we tackle some more complex real automations for real problems.I'll share my best techniques with workflow templates you can copy.Here we'll also look at some fully agentic AI agents, and the pros and cons of going that route. (Workflows > Agents most of the time.)Each co-build includes a complete walkthrough, so you can create the workflow right along with me, learning as you go.
