What you'll learn
- Pick High-ROI Use Cases Choose narrow, repeatable automation projects with accessible data, clear quality standards, and realistic business value.
- Build Agentic Workflows Build N8N workflows with triggers, data sources, AI steps, loops, and output updates that move information reliably from start to finish.
- Collaborate with Claude Use Claude to plan automations, generate workflow JSON, write prompts, create schemas, and adapt templates to your tools.
- Prompt for Reliable Output Design focused AI nodes with stable system prompts, dynamic inputs, and structured JSON outputs for dependable downstream processing.
- Debug with Confidence Test and debug workflows by inspecting node outputs, pinning data, using execution history, and reconnecting credentials, fields, and destinations.
- Optimize and Deploy Improve automations by evaluating output quality, comparing models, estimating API costs, and publishing workflows when they are ready to run.
