Goal: Build your first "Data Pipeline" and learn to read JSON. Here’s what I successfully implemented in my first session: - Environment Setup: Successfully installed and configured a local instance of n8n to use as my automation sandbox. - API Data Fetching: Configured an HTTP Request Node (GET method) to connect to an external REST API and successfully retrieved a raw JSON dataset of user information. - JSON Manipulation: Navigated the raw JSON structure to identify specific data keys. - Expression Logic: Created a static field (Member_Status) to tag incoming data. - Execution & Debugging: Successfully ran the workflow and verified the output in the n8n execution panel, ensuring data integrity across 10 separate items.

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a career goal you have, and something you like to do for fun. 😊

In this video, I show you how I built a self-healing automation system using n8n and Claude Code. Whenever one of my n8n workflows throws an error, it automatically triggers an error workflow that calls Claude Code. Claude then uses its n8n MCP server to audit the broken workflow, understand what went wrong, and fix it, all without any manual intervention. I just get a notification that the error was caught and resolved. The next time the workflow runs, it works perfectly because Claude already patched it. It's like having an AI engineer on call 24/7 to maintain your automations.

In this video, I show you how to use Claude Code with n8n to build pretty much anything, from automations to full web apps. I walk through how to connect Claude Code to the n8n MCP server so it understands all the nodes, configurations, and how workflows actually work, and how to give it n8n skills so it can build and modify workflows effectively. Then I show you how to take existing n8n workflows, analyze and optimize them, and turn them into real front-end apps. We go through building the app, pushing it to GitHub, and deploying it on Vercel so you can see the full end-to-end pipeline. This setup makes it way easier than most people think to go from workflow to real product.

I wanted to share something pretty special with you guys. From February 2nd to February 7th, there’s an AI Mastermind happening in Cape Town that’s being sponsored by n8n, and I’ll be there along with some of the biggest names in the AI space like Liam Ottley, Dave Ebbelar, Jack Roberts, Mark Kashef, and many more. This is not a typical conference. It’s a small, curated mastermind focused on real conversations, deep dives into AI, live talks and presentations, plus a lot of networking and social events with people who are actually building in this space. There are only about 50 VIP spots left, and it’s designed to be a high-impact, life-changing type of week. If you’re serious about AI, business, and meeting the right people, I definitely recommend checking it out and applying here: https://www.africai.vip/
