Business Automations with n8n
Updated
For anyone ready to let a workflow do a daily chore. You'll start from a ready-made n8n template, then build three automations of your own: receipts read into a spreadsheet, a daily job-alert email and an AI responder that drafts replies to incoming email.
Work through them in order: each step builds on the one before it, and every module runs in a practice copy of n8n right in your browser. It is free, and no experience is needed.
