Learning roadmap

n8n Automation

From your first webhook to a self-hosted n8n that runs your business automations.

5 stages~24 h
That leaves 5 stages, ~24 hours of focused work. You can clear it in any order, but the stages compound — try them top-to-bottom your first time.
  1. You'll pick up:

    triggers, nodes, expressions, manual test, execution log

    Linked quests
    Lab task

    A workflow sketchpad: drag trigger → action nodes, connect them, and simulate a run with sample data, showing the payload at each hop.

    Build it in the Lab
    Checkpoint

    A flow that posts to Slack when a webhook fires, deployed on n8n cloud.

What you'll be able to do
  • Wire any two services together with n8n in under 30 minutes.
  • Self-host n8n with persistent storage and proper logs.
  • Use AI nodes inside n8n for content + classification flows.
