Getting Started with n8n Automations

Core concepts

• Nodes — each step in a workflow performs one job.
• Triggers — the event that starts a workflow (webhook, schedule, app event).
• Connections — data flows from node to node through edges.
• Expressions — {{ }} syntax pulls data from earlier steps.

Your first workflow

1. Add a Webhook trigger and test it.
2. Connect a Code node and transform the payload.
3. Finish with a Slack notification.
4. Activate the workflow and send a real request.

Next steps

Try the Lead Qualification template in the hub and remix it in the Workflow Playground.
