make it yours

Woow n8n Onboarding Guide

Hand your repetitive work over to automation

Start by opening Woow n8n, using someone else's template, and building your first workflow. Then continue through expressions, the Code node, AI Agent, and Webhook. There are 22 chapters + 3 appendices, each taking 10 minutes. Find the Sales Handbook, Prompt Library, and Skill Handbook in the Resource Hub.

Getting oriented

What n8n is, and how it differs from Zapier/Make

Why the company chose n8n, how it differs from Zapier/Make, and which repetitive work it can take off your hands.

Open Woow n8n: sign in and a 5-minute tour

Open n8n.woowtech.io, get your account, confirm that your device can connect, and learn the main parts of the interface.

What the workspace looks like

Learn the canvas, nodes panel, Executions, Templates, and Credentials in one pass so you do not get lost.

Start from someone else's work

Start from the Templates gallery

n8n already has thousands of ready-made workflows. Copying someone else’s work is the fastest way to start.

Find JSON on n8n.io and paste it in

n8n.io/workflows has a huge library of shared workflows. Copy and paste the JSON to make one yours.

Change someone else's workflow: remap fields, swap the trigger, run it

Using someone else's workflow unchanged is wishful thinking. Learn how to adapt it to your needs.

Build your first one

The four node families: Trigger / Core / App / Cluster

The nodes panel has hundreds of nodes, but they fall into four families: start, act, control, and AI clusters.

Your first workflow: push Google Calendar to Slack at 8:00 every morning

Build a useful workflow from scratch: send today’s calendar to Slack at 8:00 every morning.

What an item is, and how data moves between nodes

Understand n8n items: how many items a node receives and what the next node gets.

Three triggers: Manual / Schedule / Event

When does a workflow run? Choose manual, scheduled, or external-event triggers.

Everyday integrations

Popular SaaS integrations: Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets and Drive

Four services office workers connect most often: Slack notifications, Gmail messages, Google Sheets records, and Drive storage.

The HTTP Request node: reach every API without an official integration

Use the HTTP Request node for services without a ready-made n8n node. It handles 80% of custom integrations.

Managing credentials: keys, OAuth, and where sharing stops

A workflow needs access to your accounts to work for you. Learn how to store and share that access safely.

Expressions: it all starts with {{ $json.field }}

Use an expression when a node field needs data from an earlier node. This chapter covers the five forms you will use most.

Flow control

IF / Switch: conditional branching

Send values over 100 down branch A and values under 100 down branch B: build conditions visually.

Merge / Loop Over Items / Split Out / Aggregate: working with many items

Process many items, combine several paths, and split arrays—the data plumbing in n8n.

Error handling: error workflow / retry / wait

What happens when a workflow fails overnight? Add an error workflow, retries, and waits.

Reshaping and reusing data

Set / Edit Fields: shape data without writing code

Add fields to JSON, rename them, and rearrange them without writing code.

Sub-workflow: pull shared logic into its own workflow

Using the same logic in five workflows? Extract a sub-workflow and update it once for all callers.
