I just dropped a new video breaking down the core nodes you need to understand if you want to build solid, scalable automations in n8n this year. This is based entirely on real experience — from simple CRM automations to complex AI-powered workflows with agents, tools, and sub-flows. In the video, I walk through: - The triggers you’ll use all the time (and why they’re more powerful than they look) - How to properly use Set / Edit Fields to clean and structure data - Why HTTP Request + Code unlock almost any integration - When to use IF vs Switch - The difference between AI Agents vs Message Model steps - Why Sub-workflows are a must once things start getting complex If you’ve ever built something that worked but felt overcomplicated — this video will help you rethink how you design automations. 👉 Watch the full breakdown here: https://youtu.be/LOTsPJplHnA?si=e8u7ka7w7w-vfKJt I’d also recommend revisiting one of your older workflows after watching and asking yourself:“How would I rebuild this today using these nodes?”

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.
