# Level one: Introduction
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the **n8n Course Level 1**!
|
|
|
|
## Is this course right for me?
|
|
|
|
This course introduces you to the fundamental concepts within n8n and develops your low-code automation expertise.
|
|
|
|
This course is for you if you:
|
|
|
|
- Are starting to use n8n for the first time
|
|
- Are looking for some extra help creating your first workflow
|
|
- Want to automate processes in your personal or working life
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What will I learn in this course?
|
|
|
|
We believe in learning by doing. You can expect some theoretical information about the basic concepts and components of n8n, followed by practice of building workflows step by step.
|
|
|
|
By the end of this course you will know:
|
|
|
|
- How to set up n8n and navigate the Editor UI
|
|
- How data is structured in n8n
|
|
- How to configure different node parameters and add credentials
|
|
- When and how to use conditional logic in workflows
|
|
- How to schedule and control workflows
|
|
- How to import, download, and share workflows with others
|
|
|
|
You will build two workflows:
|
|
|
|
- A two-node workflow to get articles from Hacker News
|
|
- A seven-node workflow to help your client get records from a data warehouse, filter them, make calculations, and notify team members about the results
|
|
|
|
