Challenges

Often it’s not enough just to learn a tool. Business units want to know how automation works in their own corporate context:

  • Which processes deliver the greatest added value?
  • How can automations be set up so that they remain maintainable, secure, and scalable?
  • How can a team work together on workflows and achieve sustainable results

Goal

Do you not only want to understand how automation works but also apply it directly to your own business cases?

Then our 2-day package is the ideal choice: together with our experts, you will first acquire the most important fundamentals of n8n, identify the most valuable use cases in your company, and then transform them into functioning prototypes — hands-on, sustainable, and in close collaboration with all relevant stakeholders.

Target group

  • Business units (technically inclined) such as HR, Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, or internal IT teams who want to automate processes and especially benefit from AI-powered workflow capabilities
  • Teams who want to go beyond standard knowledge and develop concrete results

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of data logic is helpful; programming experience not strictly required.
