AI Automation with n8n and APIs

Free

Learn to build real AI-powered workflows using n8n. This course starts beginner-friendly and builds to intermediate. The first two modules assume no prior automation experience, though basic comfort with web apps and JSON snippets helps from Module 3 onward. You will connect APIs, call AI models, extract and classify data, handle errors, and build agents. By the end you will have built an email triage system, a document processing pipeline, and a content generation workflow with human approval. No prior automation experience needed to start.

How AI Automation Works

Understand what AI automation is, where it differs from traditional workflow tools, and get n8n running. You will build your first workflow and learn the canvas, nodes, connections, and execution logs.

  1. 1What Is Ai Automation And Where Does It StartTutorial
  2. 2Set Up N8N And Build Your First WorkflowTutorial
  3. 3Foundations CheckQuiz

Connecting APIs and Triggers

Set up credentials, configure webhook and schedule triggers, and use the HTTP Request node to call any REST API. After this module you will be able to connect n8n to any service that has an API.

  1. 4Set Up Credentials And Api Keys In N8NTutorial
  2. 5Triggers, Webhooks, And Schedules In N8NTutorial
  3. 6Call Any Rest Api With The Http Request NodeTutorial
  4. 7Api Basics CheckQuiz

Adding AI to Your Workflows

Connect OpenAI and Anthropic to n8n, use the Basic LLM Chain to process workflow data with AI, control costs by choosing the right model, write prompts designed for automation, and get structured JSON output that downstream nodes can use reliably.
