Understanding N8N Concepts

Workflows

A workflow is a series of connected nodes that automate tasks. Think of it as a flowchart where each step processes data and passes it to the next step.

Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of workflows. Each node performs a specific action like sending an HTTP request, querying a database, or transforming data.

Connections

Connections link nodes together, defining the flow of data through your workflow. Data from one node becomes input for the next.

Triggers

Triggers start workflows automatically based on events like scheduled times, webhooks, file changes, or manual execution.

Credentials

Credentials securely store authentication information for connecting to external services like APIs, databases, and cloud platforms.

Example: Cedar to Notion

Here's a simple workflow that saves Cedar conversations to Notion:

1

Manual Trigger

Starts the workflow when you click execute

2

HTTP Request (Cedar)

Fetches your recent Cedar conversations via API

3

Notion

Creates a new page in Notion with the conversation

Pro tip: You can add conditional logic between steps to filter which conversations get saved, transform the data format, or route to different destinations based on content.
