Just wonder about the how long will it take me to “think” with n8n.
As I see there are lot of templates, It looks easy… but I have no idea about code.
I would love to hear some of your experience on how to learn and become a master of this!

The biggest problem is to make the first step
PS. some of coding skill will be needed on your side as well so it will be good to start learning JavaScript (even basics)
I come from a similar spot with no experience.
I’ve been using n8n for around 6 months now and managed to save the company I work for about $600K a year.
It probably took me 2 weeks to get the feel for n8n.
Then at about 3 months, I was making some really cool stuff.
At 6 months, I’m rebuilding all my old stuff because I know so much more.
I’ve literally got through with vibe coding with ChatGPT and looking up a problem when you can’t figure something out (YouTube, n8n Community etc).
Biggest thing is you just need a project.
Find something you want to do and just start there.
Stick to manual triggers and pre-built nodes (if you can) in the beginning, as webhooks, http requests etc can seem super daunting and you’ll get stuck before you really accomplish much.
Eventually, you’ll hit a point where you need to learn them, but playing around will give you more breakthroughs in the beginning.
When it all works, its amazing haha.
Have fun man! Good luck

Hi @Javier_F, welcome to the community
Just start small with simple steps, and automate what really matters to you.
Begin with a small project, but choose something that’s genuinely valuable for your workflow.
For me, the first thing I automated was adding my students to the course after they completed their purchase.
Then I built a RAG chatbot to answer their questions…
Then I built a personal AI assistant… and I’m still learning.
