Workshop Focus

The workshop centered on prototyping and introducing basic concepts of n8n. Our primary goal was to help participants create their first workflows, equipping them with skills they could apply in hackathons and real-world scenarios.

Activities and Integrations

During the 3-hour session, we explored various n8n features and integrations:

  • Weather API integration
  • Discord bot creation
  • Spreadsheet data reading
  • Chart image generation
  • HTTP requests (handling both binary and JSON responses)

A highlight of the workshop was a practical exercise where participants created a workflow to fetch weather data, generate an image, and post it to Discord.

Participant Feedback

The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Many expressed surprise at the ease of use of n8n, with comments indicating they were “shocked it can be THAT easy.” This feedback was particularly gratifying and highlighted the potential impact of n8n in simplifying complex workflows.

Reflections and Future Plans

While the turnout was smaller than expected, the intimate setting allowed for deeper engagement and learning. The enthusiasm of the participants and their quick grasp of n8n concepts were encouraging.

The feedback received also indicated areas for improvement, which we’re excited to incorporate into future workshops. This experience has shown us the value of hands-on, practical sessions in teaching automation tools like n8n.

We’re planning to organize an improved edition of this workshop soon, taking into account the lessons learned and participant feedback from this session. Our goal is to refine the content and delivery to make the n8n learning experience even more impactful and accessible.

Thank you to n8n for the excellent tool, and most importantly, to our enthusiastic participants who made this workshop a success!

@Shirobachi I’m curious: at the end of the workshop, did your students have ideas for other workflows they’d like to build for their own use?

In Poland it’s getting popular, especially in local SEO communities for orchestrating seo/data workflows :slight_smile:

Using this along with Dify(for pure AI tasks) and ito excelent.

Thank you for your kind words!
I’m sorry you missed the event. We’re planning to host a similar one in about two months and might consider doing it in English, but I’m not sure if that’s possible, to be honest.
Where are you located? Just so you know, we held the event in RzeszĂłw. It would be great to connect with you!
