Description
Tired of having to update your scripts or workflows for each major update of the software or API. Have boring, simple, repetitive tasks at work that you hate doing every day?
Enter: n8n! n8n is a low-code open-source tool in the vein of. Low-code tools give you the flexibility of design 99% of your workflow with GUI tooling and 1% with Python and JavaScript if need be. You also have (with API keys) access to your favorite models to super-charge your workflows as needed. n8n allows you to connect directly to services like Google Sheets, Outlook, Slack, Teams, Zoom, Google Calendar, Notion, Dropbox, and Todoist. If there isn’t an integration for a service you use, you can build your own (or use a myriad of HTTP Requests).
In this workshop, we will learn to use n8n, an open-source low-code tool (with over 500 integrations) to build our workflows. n8n offers a generous free trial and a community version you can self-host for free (outside the scope of the workshop, but doable).
For AI use, you may need to create an account on your favorite platform and obtain an API key, which allows you to use AI with your tools.
Yes, a lot of this can be done with code, but do you want to maintain it? 🤔
