I just created a 1-hour crash course where I introduced all the different concepts and nodes that you need to get started with n8n. This would be a great preparation for our future cohorts, so you enter them ready to actually learn and deliver Real-World n8n projects. Make sure to check it out; I would love the support, so leave a like & comment on YouTube if you found this video useful.

On the last Friday of every month, we’ll host a community gathering where you can meet Nadia and me, ask questions about n8n or business in general, and connect with other members. We’re excited to meet you and look forward to strengthening our community together!

Hi everyone, We noticed that participation in the study group held right after our live session was low. We understand that you probably need more time to review the material before diving into group discussion. To make these sessions more effective, we are consolidating them into a single, optional study group every Friday. We highly encourage you to join this Friday session. It's an excellent opportunity to meet your fellow students, discuss potential challenges, and build stronger connections within the cohort. Just a reminder: while this time is dedicated to peer collaboration, attendance for Nadia and me will vary from week to week. We hope to see you there! Best,

As a thank you for joining our community and amazing support, here is a little gift from me and Nadia for those who are beginners in n8n. Enjoy & feel free to ask questions. Best Serop & Nadia

Amazing energy and great questions yesterday! Here’s a recap of some key points we covered in the chat so you might miss it in the recording: 🔐 AI Tools & Data Privacy - Using n8n cloud is fine for European clients. - Some companies request Mistral because it’s EU-hosted, but Azure OpenAI EU is also compliant. 💼 Tool Stack & CRM Advice - Many businesses still rely on Excel (we weren't surprised 😂) - If they use Excel as a CRM → recommend a real CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), not Airtable. - Airtable or Supabase shine for automation + internal dashboards, not CRM replacement. 🤖 n8n Best Practices - Pin data in n8n (especially expensive LLM nodes). - Use the SET node for sample data to avoid sending real emails while testing. - You can use fake data + pinning to save credits. 🧠 LLM vs AI Agent - LLM Chain = input → output (one pass) - Agent = think → act → check → answer (multiple steps) - Use agents for chatbots + tasks that need reasoning, but they can be less predictable. 🏷️ Handling Gender in Emails - Best approach: gender-neutral greetings ("Hi Alex") - If needed, AI guesses gender from name, similar accuracy to humans - Using draft mode in Gmail lets a human double-check before sending. Always include human in the loop for critical tasks in a business. 📚 When to Use RAG - Up to ~8 pages → pass in context directly - More than that → switch to RAG (retrieval) 🛠️ Debugging & Reliability - Add a debug workflow in n8n - Notify via Slack if a workflow fails (e.g., client runs out of API credits) Loved seeing the engagement and curiosity today. And big shout-out to everyone saying: “Seeing you troubleshoot live makes me feel less alone learning this.” If you attended, drop your biggest takeaway below 👇 Let’s keep building 💪🔥
