n8n Foundations

Build, connect, and maintain workflows in n8n

n8n Foundations is a self-paced program that takes you from first principles to production-ready automation. Across three courses you will learn to build your first workflows and understand how data moves through nodes, then connect external services with APIs, webhooks, and authentication, and finally work with AI, testing, and the habits that keep workflows reliable in production. The three courses can be taken in any order, so you can start wherever fits your needs and build out from there. By the end you will be able to design, connect, and maintain real n8n workflows on your own.
