In this hands-on training how to develop powerful workflows with n8n and integrate AI features into automation processes in a targeted manner. You’ll work with realistic scenarios—ranging from simple workflows to complex, production-ready automations. You’ll receive a structured introduction to n8n—from operation and architecture to integrations and data processing, all the way through to productive deployment and secure operation. A special focus is placed on integrating AI functionalities such as classification, extraction, routing, and agent-based workflows. In addition, you’ll learn how to design automations that are stable, maintainable, and secure—including error handling, governance, and the controlled use of AI. This will enable you to efficiently implement modern automation solutions within the company.
Contents

1. Basics and Overview of n8n

  • Concepts, architecture, and user interface.
  • Operating Models: Cloud vs. Self-Hosted.
  • Basic components: triggers, nodes, data flow, and credentials.
  • Create and understand your first workflows.

2. Triggers, Data Flow, and Processing

  • Trigger types: Manual, Cron, and Webhook.
  • Working with JSON, arrays, and data structures.
  • Transformations, filters, and control logic (IF, Switch).
  • Establishing stable data flows.

3. Integrations and APIs

  • Understanding and Integrating REST APIs.
  • Authentication, headers, and data formats.
  • Handling rate limits and timeouts.
  • Error handling with retries and backoff strategies.

4. Data Integration and Workflow Structure

  • Persistence patterns (Insert, Update, Upsert).
  • Sub-workflows and modular automations.
  • Creating maintainable and reusable workflows.

5. Best Practices and Tool Comparison

  • Error handling and monitoring.
  • Maintainability, documentation, and structuring.
  • Comparison of n8n with Make and Zapier.

6. Integrating AI into Workflows

  • Typical AI use cases: classification, extraction, routing.
  • Prompting for reproducible results.
  • Human-in-the-loop approaches for controlled decision-making.

7. AI Agents and Tool Calling

  • Agent patterns (e.g., planning and execution).
  • Integration of external tools and APIs.
  • Control of context and decision-making logic.

8. Production Deployment and Operation

  • Deployment and the transition from development to production.
  • Monitoring and scaling workflows.
  • Introduction to self-hosted operation with n8n.

9. Security and Governance

  • Handling credentials and access.
  • Data Protection in AI-Driven Processes.
  • Avoid risks such as incorrect decisions or prompt injection.

10. End-to-End Automation

  • Development of complete automation processes.
  • A combination of data, AI, and actions.
  • Developing robust, production-ready workflows.
