This course teaches you how to build powerful automated workflows using n8n — an open-source automation platform that connects your apps, APIs, and AI models without writing complex code. Whether you are a business professional tired of manual repetitive tasks or a developer looking to build integrations faster, this course gives you the practical skills to automate real business processes from day one.

The course

Forget theory — you will spend the day building actual workflows. We start with the basics of n8n and work up to connecting external APIs, automating business processes, and integrating AI models like Claude into your workflows. By the end of the course you will have built several working automations you can take back to your job and use immediately.

Who should take this course?

This course is suitable for a mixed audience. Business professionals who want to eliminate manual, repetitive work will find it accessible — no programming experience is required. Developers and technical professionals will also benefit from the hands-on approach to API integrations and AI-powered workflows. If you work with tools like CRMs, spreadsheets, email, or any web-based service and want them to talk to each other automatically, this course is for you.
