Here's what no one teaches about n8n

Not the trigger. Not the API calls. The part in between.

I can follow a tutorial, copy a workflow, even build one with Claude's help. But, if someone said "okay, now build it from scratch," I'd freeze.

Because nobody teaches the logic layer.

How do I know which node comes next? How do I know when to use a Merge node vs. an IF node?

That's what I need to learn. Not "here's a workflow you can copy."

But:

How do you think through a workflow before you build it?
How do you know what nodes to choose? Google for example has over 20 Actions. Do I choose Create or Update and create?
How do you understand and map the logic?
How do you work forward step by step, knowing what data you have, and what the next action needs?
When do you split, merge, loop, or filter?)

Can you make a video explaining this, please?
