Help from a gpt

I would first like to try to understand when and why to use each of these nodes, could you give me an example for each of them and then it could help me understand how I could use them to do what I want

I watch YouTube tutorials but the problem is that YouTubers don’t detail how each node they use works,
On each node there are several functions, choices, suggestions
Except they don’t explain it to me in detail

So I do a search on Google and all the tutorials I find tell you in one page what n8n is
But there are no details on each of the nodes and each of the functions

Even on the n8n site there is no

I take the example of Google sheet
When I am on my workflow and I choose Google sheet then I realize that there are lots of choices (trigger, actions) and I would like to know when and why to use them, I would have liked to find a tutorial on the n8n site but there is only a quick explanation, just 5.6 words talking about Google sheet
But it doesn’t go deep like butter
On their site they do not talk about each of the actions, trigger that each application like Google sheet offers

So I could understand why use one node rather than another to do the automations I want

And also there are workflow examples but there are only a few lines of explanation and that doesn’t help me understand the why and how

And finally I was told about the specialized n8n GPT except that here again I have difficulty understanding what they are writing to me,
They also give me some code but I don’t know what I should do with it

je voudrais tout d’abord essayer de comprendre quand et pourquoi utiliser chacun de ces noeuds, est-ce que vous pourriez me donner un exemple pour chacun d’entre eux et ensuite ça pourrait m’aider à comprendre comment je pourrais les utiliser pour faire ce que je veux

je regarde des tutoriels youtube mais le problème c’est que les youtubeurs ne détaillent pas le fonctionnement de chaque nœud qu’ils utilisent,
Sur chaque noeuds il y a plusieurs fonctions, choix, proposer
Sauf qu’ils m’expliquent pas en détail

Je fais donc une recherche sur Google et tous les tutos que je trouve ça te parle en une page de ce qu’est n8n
Mais il n’y a aucun détail sur chacun des nœuds et chacune des fonctions

Même sur le site de n8n il n’y a pas

Je prends l’exemple de Google sheet
Lorsque je suis sur mon workflow et que je choisis Google sheet alors je m’aperçois qu’il y a plein de choix (trigger, actions) et j’aimerais bien savoir quand et pourquoi les utiliser, j’aurais bien aimé trouver un tuto sur le site de n8n mais il n’y a qu’une explication vite fait, juste 5,6 mots qui parlent de Google sheet
Mais ça ne rentre pas en profondeur comme dans du beurre
Sur leur site ils ne parlent pas de chacune des actions, trigger que propose chacune des applications comme Google sheet

Ainsi je pourrais comprendre pourquoi utiliser un nœud plutôt qu’un autre pour faire les automatisations que je souhaite

Et aussi il y a des exemples de workflow mais il n’y a seulement que quelques lignes d’explications et ça ne m’aide pas à comprendre le pourquoi du comment

Et pour terminer on m’a parlé des GPT spécialisé n8n sauf que là encore j’ai du mal à comprendre ce qu’ils m’écrivent,
Ils me donnent également du code mais je ne sais pas ce que je dois faire avec

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi Chris,

Your question is very, very broad and I don’t think I’ll be able to answer it to your satisfaction. Please work through the following resources first to get a better understanding of how n8n works

Videos:

Written courses with certification:

We only provide basic information for each node type, usually focusing especially on the authentication part since that’s what’s often the most challenging part. The node resources and methods are mostly self-explanatory. If you have questions about how to work with a specific node you can probably find an answer here on the forum and if not, just open a new topic in Questions.

Enjoy discovering n8n!
