Description
Automation is redefining how organizations build and scale workflows, andn8nis one of the most powerful tools leading this transformation. As an open-source, extensible automation platform, n8n enables you to integrate APIs, automate processes, and orchestrate intelligent agents with ease. From simple email automations to advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agents and multi-workflow systems, this course will take you from beginner to expert.

Why You Should Learn n8n Today

The demand for workflow automation and AI-driven agents is rapidly increasing. Companies are adopting tools like n8n to reduce manual effort, connect services seamlessly, and scale intelligent systems. Whether you want to automate everyday business tasks, integrate APIs, or design multi-agent frameworks, learning n8n gives you a future-proof skillset. With n8n’s open-source flexibility and enterprise adoption, mastering it opens doors to opportunities in DevOps, AI, data engineering, and beyond.

Course Modules

1. Introduction

This section introduces n8n, its course structure, and the learning objectives. Learners will sign up for n8n and explore the playground environment to practice building workflows. It establishes a strong foundation for all subsequent hands-on learning.

2. n8n Foundational

Learn the basics of nodes, their inputs and outputs, data types, and n8n’s architecture and default run logic. You’ll also configure API keys for AI services like OpenAI and KodeKloud Keyspaces. This section ensures learners understand how workflows operate and how to integrate external services.

3. n8n Agent Workflow Build-Along

Set up your environment for a build-along experience, including folder structures, admin settings, and updates. Learners will create multiple AI-driven workflows, from simple email agents to multi-agent research workflows, text-to-image/video generation, and Slack automation. Guided labs provide hands-on practice for each workflow to reinforce real-world skills.

4. n8n Optional Set Ups

Explore self-hosting versus cloud hosting options for n8n, including Docker setups and AWS-hosted VMs. Learn to run AI agents using self-hosted LLMs like Ollama. This section allows learners to customize their n8n environment for scalable and flexible automation.

5. n8n RAG Agent

Understand Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agents and the role of vector databases in AI workflows. Learners will set up Pinecone and integrate it with n8n. Build a Customer Support RAG agent to combine AI reasoning with structured data for intelligent automation.

6. MCP

Learn about Modular Component Patterns (MCPs) for creating reusable workflow components. Complete a lab to connect MCP nodes and compare MCPs with standard workflows. This section demonstrates how modular design can enhance workflow efficiency and scalability.

7. n8n Multi-Workflow Advanced Build

Combine multiple AI agents into a single advanced workflow to automate complex tasks like marketing operations. Learners will practice calling subworkflows and managing multiple environments simultaneously. This section highlights enterprise-level workflow design and coordination.

8. n8n Additional Info + Developing Features

Explore retries, error handling, and best practices to build robust workflows. Learn to leverage the n8n Workflow Template Marketplace for faster development. The course concludes with a recap of key concepts and practical next steps for applying n8n skills professionally.
