AI Workflow
Automation
Building smart automations with n8n, Make.com and connecting to AI APIs. From your first Webhook to a full business-automation system — in six hands-on modules.
The skills you leave with
The course is built around real applications. Every skill is immediately usable — you do not learn theory, you actually build it.
Build automated workflows in n8n and Make.com from scratch — the interface, nodes, triggers, webhooks and complex connections
Connect AI models (Claude/GPT) to existing workflows — Prompt Engineering, JSON outputs and handling responses
Streamline Email, Slack and CRM processes automatically — Inbox Zero, smart replies and real-time notifications
Build a full business-automation system as a final project — from an incoming Lead to a Slack alert and a calendar meeting
6 modules · 8 hours
Each module is built with content lessons, ready-to-use code and hands-on practice. In the end you build a real system you can run in your business.

HTTP Request Node in n8n with
Claude API
This is what a real lesson from the course looks like. Each lesson includes an in-depth explanation, clear steps, ready-to-use code and a professional tip that saves hours.
Why an HTTP Request Node and not a dedicated Node?
n8n has dedicated Nodes for OpenAI, but for Anthropic's Claude, the most correct way is to use the generic HTTP Request Node. That is an advantage — not a drawback. When Anthropic releases a new version, you do not depend on an n8n update and can upgrade your API call on release day.
The HTTP Request Node is the heart of n8n — it lets you communicate with any API that exists, including internal APIs in your organization, legacy APIs and even internal Microservices. Once you understand it deeply, the path to any external service is open.
The setup steps
Add a Node of type "HTTP Request". Change the Method toPOST and set the URL: https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages
Add two Headers: x-api-key with your API Key (from Credentials), andanthropic-version: 2023-06-01. Also content-type: application/json is required.
Choose "JSON" as the Body type. Here you put the model, max_tokens, system prompt, and the messages array. Use n8n expressions to inject dynamic data from previous Nodes into the prompt.
The response from Claude comes back as JSON. The text is in{{`{{`}}$json.content[0].text{{'}}'}}. Add a Set Node to extract the text into a clean field for use in the following Nodes.
Sample code — the Body of a Claude call
{
"model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
"max_tokens": 1024,
"system": "You are a business email classifier. Respond in JSON only. Fields: category (sales/support/billing/spam), urgency (low/medium/high), hebrew_summary (max 80 chars).",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Classify this email:\nFrom: {{ $json.sender }}\nSubject: {{ $json.subject }}\nBody: {{ $json.body }}"
}
]
}Always set Retry on Error in the HTTP Request Node — click Settings in the Node and change "Retry On Fail" to true with 3 attempts. The Anthropic API sometimes returns a 529 (Overload) error at peak hours, and the automatic Retry saves you unnecessary failure events in production.

help
Do I need programming experience?
expand_more
No programming experience required. The course suits complete beginners who have never opened n8n, all the way to managers who want to understand how to connect AI to business processes. The lessons include clear visual demonstrations. Basic JSON knowledge is a plus, but we will learn that along the way too.
payments
Is this course really free?
expand_more
Yes — the course is completely free. Only a free Academy registration is required. External services like n8n Cloud, Make.com, and the Claude API include free plans that are enough for all the course exercises. You will not need to spend a penny to complete all 6 modules.
schedule
How long does it take to complete the course?
expand_more
8 hours of content — but including real practice it will take 10–14 hours. You can consume the course at your own pace, with no pressure. Most learners complete a module a day and finish within a week. With lifetime access — there is no time limit at all.
difference
What is the difference between this course and AI Automation Pro?
expand_more
This AI Workflow Automation course is the perfect entry point to automation — it covers n8n, Make.com and AI APIs in a practical, no-nonsense approach. AI Automation Pro is a more advanced course that covers complex architectures, Docker Self-Hosting, RAG and 10 deeper business projects. It is recommended to start here.
