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?”

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/
