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.
