What you will build

From first node to a working marketing agent.

n8n connects triggers, tools, and actions in a visual workflow. This guide uses that structure to show where an AI model helps and where a plain rule is enough. You can follow the builds and adjust them for your own accounts.

01

Start with the canvas

Learn nodes, triggers, credentials, and the difference between a fixed automation and an agent.

02

Build a lead concierge

Take a form submission through AI enrichment and scoring, write a record to Google Sheets, and send an alert.

03

Repurpose one draft

Use a second build to turn source content into channel drafts that you can review before publishing.

Questions

Before you start.

What is an n8n agent?

In this guide, it is an n8n workflow that uses an AI model inside a defined process. The surrounding steps still control the input, tools, and output.

Do I need to know code?

No. The guide starts with n8n setup and a short warm-up workflow before the two full builds.

What accounts will I need?

You will need n8n and the services you choose to connect, such as an AI model, Google Sheets, Slack, or email. Those services may have their own costs.

Can I import the templates into n8n Cloud?

Yes. Import the JSON files, then connect your own credentials and check each node before running a workflow.

Is the guide free?

Yes. The Gumroad product lets you enter $0 or choose another amount. Gumroad handles checkout and the download.
