nobody learned automation by watching tutorials.
you learn it by breaking stuff.
i've rebuilt the same workflow like 3 times because the first version was trash. but version 3 ran clean and i could explain every single node in it.
close the video. open n8n. break something.
AI automation is actually crazy
You can have your entire social media running in the background your inbox organized automatically, reports generated for you and repetitive tasks done without you lifting a finger
Once you start automating the boring stuff, it's hard to go back
most n8n beginners sleep on the HTTP Request node.
it's the most powerful node in the whole thing.
no native integration? doesn't matter. if it has an API you can connect it. set your method, drop in your headers, pass your body. done
added the error handler to the workflow and it's working properly now
if anything breaks mid run I get notified right away instead of finding out way later. small addition but makes the whole thing feel a lot more solid
planning on adding an error handler to this workflow next, so it can notify me if something goes wrong instead of just failing silently
feels like a small thing but it's the difference between a hobby project and something actually production ready
the hardest part in this workflow was connecting to supabase. never used it before so it was pretty technical trying to find the api keys and set it up right.
ended up watching a youtube video that walked me through it, helped a lot
