N8N FULL COURSE 6 HOURS (Build & Sell AI Automations + Agents)

0:00Hey, welcome to the most comprehensive

0:02NADN course on how to go from zero,

0:04somebody that's never used this platform

0:06to hero, a master capable of building

0:08automations for themselves and or

0:10selling stuff like that to clients. I've

0:12scaled my own automation agency at over

0:14$72,000 a month using no code tools like

0:16make and nen. So, the purpose of this

0:18course and any follow-up courses that I

0:20make are all about how to use these

0:22tools for actual business purposes. how

0:24to drive revenue, how to improve

0:26savings, and more or less purposes that

0:28you would actually be building systems

0:29for in the real world, not just hobby

0:31projects. I've made sure to add

0:32timestamps for every section down in the

0:35video. So, if you guys maybe already are

0:37coming to this with a little bit of NAN

0:38knowledge and just want some bits and

0:40pieces, feel free to use that to move

0:41around. And make sure you guys bookmark

0:43this video so you can come back to it

0:44later. Trust me, this is the most

0:46comprehensive resource on NAN that you

0:47will find on YouTube, at least as of the

0:49time of this recording. I've checked.

0:51You guys are going to want to make sure

0:52that you run through this from start to

0:53finish at some point in your NADN

0:55career. So, you might as well have an

0:56easy and simple way to get back to it.

0:58So, let's cover what NAD is, how to get

1:01set up on the platform, and how to build

1:03our very first simple practical

1:05workflow. Okay, now that you guys

1:07understand what the purpose of this

1:08course is, let's actually dive into the

1:10very first module, which is going to be

1:12all about how to get NADN set up for

1:15yourself. how to essentially go from

1:17somebody that's never used this

1:18dashboard or this platform to somebody

1:20that at least is a little bit familiar

1:21with it. I'm going to be basically

1:22putting on your NAN training wheels, if

1:24that makes sense. And we're going to

1:25start this video by signing up to N8N.

1:27I'm actually going to walk you through

1:28what that process looks like from start

1:30to finish. I'm going to be using their

1:31cloud hosted offering today. The reason

1:33why is it's just a lot easier for total

1:34beginners to get up and running versus

1:36self-hosting. But I want you guys to

1:37know that I'm going to be covering

1:38self-hosting in depth over the course of

1:40the next few weeks. After that, we're

1:42going to do a live hands-on review of

1:44NAND's builder. We're going to cover the

1:45canvas, the workflow, nodes, and then

1:47after that, I'm going to be creating

1:49three simple but effective workflows to

1:51actually have you guys get something on

1:53the page, so to speak. You'll actually

1:54have created three simple workflows

1:56before the end of this video. So, if

1:58that sounds good to you, without further

1:59ado, this is Nadn's website, as we could

2:01see. Secure AI native workflow

2:03automation. Very sexy. I really like

2:05their branding. You can see they worked

2:06with some big freaking names. Adobee is

2:08using NN now. Sendin Blue, Pearson, um,

2:11Splunk. I've never heard of those guys,

2:13but they sound funny. So top right hand

2:15corner, I'm just going to click get

2:16started. And the first thing it's going

2:17to ask me for is my full name. So I'm

2:19going to give it my full name. Then it's

2:21going to ask me for my company email.

2:22I'm going to give it a company email. So

2:24I'm going to ask me for a password. I'm

2:26going to write down example password.

2:28And then for account name, I'm just

2:29going to go nickyou

2:32YouTube.app.ncloud. Keep up with our

2:33constant improvements through our

2:34newsletter. No, thank you. What I have

2:36to do here is just because I'm crazy

2:38with it, sometimes they think that I am

2:40a robot. I need to select a bunch of

2:41images that match a mountain. That kind

2:43of looks like a mountain. That looks

2:44like a mountain. I don't know about

2:45that, but let's see what happens. It is

2:48embarrassing how uh common it is for me

2:50to get these things wrong. Anyway, they

2:52have some little onboarding stuff using

2:53Type Form. I'm not going to harp too

2:55much on that because odds are this will

2:56be different by the time you're looking

2:57at it. And then I'm not going to invite

2:59any team members to my workspace. I

3:01really like their onboarding. They have

3:02fantastic onboarding. They have a little

3:03quick start guide over here on the right

3:05hand side as the workspace starts up. As

3:07you can see, it didn't cost me anything

3:08to like launch said workspace. The cloud

3:10plan gets you up and running like ASAP.

3:13So, despite the fact that onboardings

3:15typically do change and yours might look

3:16a little bit different. As of the time

3:18of this recording, it is pretty dang

3:19sweet. Okay. And now I just received a

3:20notification saying that my workspace is

3:22online. I can click start automating and

3:24we'll actually dive into NAND proper.

3:27They use a little dark mode action which

3:29I really like. So, very clean, very

3:30sleek. As you can see, they

3:31automatically sign you up to a trial.

3:33Um, when you get started, you'll have 14

3:35days in said trial with a,000 executions

3:37total. I'll cover what all that stuff

3:39means in a minute. No big deal. The

3:40terminology of NAN is pretty simple and

3:42straightforward, which I like. So, just

3:44covering the dashboard really quickly,

3:45top to bottom. I'll talk about the

3:46things that are important, the things

3:47that you don't really need to know, you

3:48want to actually use in practice. U let

3:50me just exit out of this little top bar

3:52here. First things first, this button

3:53over here allows you to create. So, you

3:56can create either a workflow and you can

3:57create it in a specific project. So, I

3:59only have one project here called

4:00personal, which is why that's all that

4:01it's giving me. You can also create a

4:02credential. So credentials are how you

4:05connect to various software platforms

4:06and apps in N8N. Uh and then you can

4:08also create a new project. So add a

4:10project button down here. You also have

4:12an add a project button up here. No idea

4:13why they do that, but they do. Um as I

4:15mentioned, things are separated into

4:17projects. We don't have any workflows

4:18here, but when I add one, you'll see

4:19it'll be listed. Then we sort of have

4:21some of the same data here as well. We

4:23have credentials. If I click on those

4:24credentials, I can actually create a

4:26credential up here, too. Nothing magic.

4:28If you're on the cloud hosted offering,

4:29you will have this sexy admin panel. the

4:32purpose of which I have yet to fully

4:33understand. Uh no, the purpose of this

4:35is basically just to monitor your trial.

4:37You can change NAN version versions if

4:39you need to. You can change NAND

4:41versions if you want. You can change the

4:43versions if you need to select your time

4:44zone and you know do some other

4:45settings. In practice, you basically

4:47never really have to change any of this

4:48stuff. So don't sweat it too much. Aside

4:50from that, one of the most powerful and

4:51valuable parts of N8, this little

4:53dashboard, it's actually down here in

4:54the bottom lefthand corner under admin

4:56panel. It's called templates. And this

4:58sets NAN apart from a lot of the other

4:59no code tools that you could choose.

5:01They basically have some of the highest

5:03quality workflow automation templates

5:04publicly available and completely free

5:06to use out there on the internet. This

5:08is the simplest way to get up and

5:10running if you guys don't know how to

5:11build a flow. And after you're done

5:13watching this video, I'd highly

5:14recommend you guys to just bookmark this

5:16and just spend a few minutes scrolling

5:17through clicking on various systems that

5:20you might want to create and just

5:21understanding a little bit more about

5:23how professionals or people that are a

5:24little bit more wellversed within might

5:26put things together. There's a lot of

5:28opportunity here obviously to template

5:30out, you know, big chunks of flows that

5:31you'd otherwise build. And some of these

5:33flows, to be honest, are literally good

5:34enough where you could just click sales

5:36and you could find like one or two of

5:38these flows that like does exactly what

5:40you need before you even had put any

5:42work in. So for instance, if you wanted

5:43to scrape business emails from Google

5:44Maps or the use of any third-party APIs,

5:46that was a system you were tasked to

5:47build maybe as a service or for your own

5:49business, you could literally click on

5:50this button and you could import the

5:52flow. It would take you like 5 seconds.

5:54Not hard at all. And a lot of the time

5:55the developers will document the hell

5:57out of it too. They'll do video

5:58tutorials and and all that stuff. So

6:00yeah, that's probably the most valuable

6:02part of this whole page to be honest,

6:04aside from the workflow creator. But

6:06let's actually dive into the juicy bits

6:08which are obviously what you're here for

6:09by creating a workflow. So that takes us

6:11to the canvas. When you open up a new

6:13workflow, you are sent to this page

6:15where you could see a lot of cool stuff.

6:17This is basically the workbench where

6:19all of your N8N flows are going to be

6:20created. I'm going to walk you through

6:22this top to bottom. Let's start on the

6:23top lefthand corner. This is where you

6:25can name your workflows. So, I'm just

6:26going to name a workflow and I'm going

6:28to call it N8N course. You can see here

6:30you can also add a tag. N uses tags to

6:33organize their workflows in projects

6:35which I'll show you in a moment. But

6:36let's just create a new tag and let's

6:37just call this YouTube. Let's say I'm

6:38going to be creating a big YouTube

6:39tutorial. So, I want to tag everything

6:41here as YouTube if it's if it's part of

6:43my um NAN course. And then over here on

6:47the right hand side, you have the

6:48ability to activate your workflow. You

6:50do need a trigger for that which I'll

6:51cover in a moment. You could share your

6:53workflow here, which means you can add

6:55users to your NAND account and then give

6:56them access to a workflow. Pretty neat.

6:58There's a workflow history or revision

7:01history. If you make a mistake or

7:02something during your NAN flow, you can

7:04just click this button. It'll actually

7:05restore the version of the workflow that

7:07you want. So, they have very good

7:09persistence. They actually show you it

7:11um live, which a lot of other no code

7:12tools don't. In the top rightand corner,

7:14you have this sort of like click more

7:15button where you have can duplicate a

7:18workflow. So, if I click this button,

7:19it'll actually just like, you know,

7:20create another one. I can download a

7:22workflow. When you download it, you'll

7:24download it into JSON, which is pretty

7:25neat. JavaScript object notation. This

7:27allows you to then send it to anybody

7:28else that you want and then they can

7:30like import it. And speaking of import,

7:32you can import either from a URL. So

7:33there could be like a JSON file hosted

7:35on a URL over here. And then you could

7:36also host it just import it from the

7:38file too. So that NAN course over here,

7:40I could just click that button and then

7:42it would import that workflow that I

7:44just exported. There's also some

7:46settings. Obviously, there are a bunch

7:48of like um I don't want to call these

7:50higher level, but they're sort of like

7:51configuration options with execution

7:53order where there are variety of

7:54different ways that NN used to execute

7:56workflows. There's some error handling

7:58workflows, some some ways to time things

8:01out after a certain amount of time.

8:02We're not going to cover this because in

8:03practice, I find you rarely need to use

8:05this when you're actually building flows

8:06for business purposes. That's ultimately

8:08what the purpose of this whole tutorial

8:10and course is about. But, you know, rest

8:12assured, there's ample documentation on

8:13all this stuff. The really cool part

8:14about Niten is how well documented it

8:16is. It's basically everything that you

8:17could possibly need. I'm not going to

8:19switch to the old canvas. It's just like

8:20a slightly different way that it looks.

8:22Moving forward, this is probably going

8:23to be the predominant mechanism just

8:24because it's so clean and sexy and

8:26useful, which you'll see. Okay. Now,

8:28speaking of the actual canvas itself,

8:30um, if I just scroll around here, I'm

8:32holding my two fingers on my little

8:34touchpad. You could also do this with

8:35like the mouse wheel if you want. I'm

8:36moving around the canvas, right? You see

8:38these little dots that are equidistant

8:40from one another. Um, this sort of shows

8:41you where you're at. in the bottom

8:43lefthand corner. You'll notice that as I

8:44do that, there's this little white box

8:46sort of in the middle. What this is is

8:48this is sort of like a mini map. I don't

8:49know if you guys have ever played video

8:50games like uh Starcraft or Warcraft or

8:54League of Legends or Call of Duty or

8:56whatever. It's basically the same sort

8:57of thing. You have a mini map here. Um

8:59and you can actually you can drag the

9:01canvas like I'm doing right now or you

9:02can actually just drag the mini map too

9:04which is kind of neat. We can zoom way

9:06out. We can zoom way in. This is sort of

9:07nifty and honestly sometimes I just play

9:09with this for like 10 or 15 minutes at a

9:11time before I remember that I should

9:12probably be building workflows that make

9:14people money. Um so that mini map's kind

9:16of cool. In the bottom lefthand corner

9:17you have a couple of buttons and these

9:18are like quick access easy buttons.

9:20These are just useful when you're

9:21building out workflows. Um if you just

9:23press this button it'll basically just

9:26like fit back to um like I don't know

9:29like it'll it'll zoom out to an

9:31appropriate amount that allows you to

9:32see most of the nodes here. The cool

9:33thing is N makes very heavy use of uh

9:36hotkeys. So if you actually just instead

9:38of clicking this button, just press one,

9:40you'll just snap back. So

9:42one, one, one. Pretty cool. It basically

9:46just centers this box or centers the

9:48average location of all of the boxes

9:50when you have multiple nodes um in the

9:52center of your screen. There's also some

9:54plusing and minusing action going here.

9:56You can press plus to zoom in or you can

9:58press minus to zoom out. In practice, I

10:00don't really use these when I'm building

10:01just because I have my little touchpad

10:03and mouse wheel and I can just do this

10:04and when I do this, my head gets spinny

10:07and it's very fun. You then have um

10:10reset zoom here. So, you can go zero or

10:11one. I don't really use that in practice

10:13if I'm mad zoomed in. And then you have

10:15a little way to report bugs. Um I never

10:17report bugs, granted. Uh I don't know,

10:19maybe we have some white knights here

10:20that want to make the platform better or

10:22something. Okay, the last thing I want

10:23to cover is, and you can't really see it

10:25cuz my giant ass head is in the way, but

10:27in the bottom right hand corner of the

10:28screen, you can click this button to ask

10:30an AI assistant. Says, "Hey Nicholas, I

10:32can answer most questions about building

10:33workflows in NAN for you for specific

10:35tasks. You'll see the ask assistant

10:36button in the UI. How can I help?" And

10:38the reason why I wanted to cover this is

10:39because this has got to be one of the

10:41most useful features in NAND. And this

10:43really sets it apart from the vast

10:44majority of other noode platforms,

10:46especially like make. I think Zapier has

10:47an AI assistant feature now as well.

10:49Because this AI assistant is actually

10:51useful. you can actually use it to sort

10:53of co-build things. Um, it has access to

10:56all of the NAND community forums. So any

10:58post that was basically ever made that

10:59describes a solution to a problem, it

11:01will technically have access to and it

11:02can pull it like with reasonable

11:04accuracy. Uh, and then it's also

11:06integrated into your builder. So it it

11:08has access to the the actual build

11:09itself. Although sometimes you have to

11:11give it a little bit more context about

11:12what it is that you're doing for it to

11:13like really figure it out. Yeah, this AI

11:15assistant, I want to say it's not

11:16perfect, but it covers at least 30 or

11:1940% of all the queries that I have for

11:20NNN. So, my usual debugging workflow,

11:22which you guys will see if we run into a

11:23bug later. Hopefully, we do. Fingers

11:25crossed. Uh, I'm going to use the AI

11:26assistant as sort of a first

11:28pass. Okay, great. So, that's that. Um,

11:31I think we now know everything except

11:32for obviously the big juicy elephant in

11:34the room, which is adding a first step.

11:36If I click on this middle button here,

11:38you'll now see on the left hand side,

11:39we've opened a bunch of options. Um, and

11:42essentially what we're doing when we add

11:43a first step is we're adding a trigger.

11:45A first step of any flow in N8, and it's

11:47always going to be a trigger. And so on

11:49the right hand side we have a variety of

11:50different triggers we could choose from.

11:52We could trigger manually. This runs the

11:54flow by clicking a button in Nadn. Good

11:56for getting started quickly. It is very

11:57good for getting started quickly. And

11:58I'm going to show you our first uh

12:00module or sorry our first workflow is

12:02going to be built like that on app

12:04event. So this runs a flow when

12:05something happens in one of the many

12:07apps that you can connect to non. So if

12:09I click this you can see there's there's

12:10action network active campaign acuity

12:12adalo. Maybe you want to do a trigger

12:14when a new thing gets added to an air

12:16table or when a new project gets added

12:17to a Santa or maybe you want to I don't

12:20know when you receive a new um ClickUp

12:23task or I don't know you get a new Gmail

12:25or something or a new GitHub repo or

12:27ghost post was made. Right? If I scroll

12:29through here there there are a couple of

12:30hundred triggers as of the time of this

12:32recording and NN is always looking to

12:33add more. So the cool thing is you can

12:36very quickly if there's one of the

12:37platforms that are listed here click

12:39this button and then you could say oh

12:40okay um let me see a better example oh

12:44okay you know a new air table event just

12:46occurred and what is the air table event

12:48in particular um I don't know it's going

12:50to be like a a new thing that was added

12:52to a row with a with a specific field

12:54for instance you could very quickly get

12:56an anal integration up and running super

12:58super quickly anyway I don't actually

13:00want to use this so I'm just going to

13:02drag on the canvas And then I'm going to

13:04press delete. And it's going to delete

13:06that module. Sorry, the uh note. If I

13:09right click this, you can see I can also

13:11do a variety of things to this. But the

13:13one that I want in this case is a

13:14delete. So that's what I'm going to do.

13:15And I'll show you how to do all the the

13:17other things that you saw a moment ago

13:18just over the course of building. Okay.

13:21So if I go back to this open nodes panel

13:23in the top rightand corner, you'll see

13:24that there's a hotkey. I can just click

13:25the the tab button instead of doing this

13:27manually. So that's what I'm going to

13:28do. I'm just going to press tab. So

13:29that's what I just did. And it just

13:30opened this up automatically. Um, let's

13:33continue down. Uh, aside from just on

13:35app event, you can also do things on a

13:36schedule. So, you can run a flow every

13:38day, hour, or whatever custom interval

13:39you want, which is pretty neat. So, if I

13:41click this, you can see on the right

13:42hand side here, left hand side here, we

13:44can trigger the interval to be seconds.

13:46I might run this thing every 30 seconds.

13:48I can run this every minute. I could run

13:50this every hour, days, weeks, months.

13:52They also have like a programming um

13:54sort of term here called cron which is

13:56just a specific language setup where you

13:58could write an expression that does

13:59something I don't know every third

14:02Sunday of years that are oddnumbered for

14:04instance. I'm just going to now click

14:07delete. So we can delete that out. Press

14:09tab to open up this right hand side

14:10panel and then continue. You can also do

14:12what's called a web hook call. If you

14:14guys are unfamiliar with web hook calls,

14:16um I'm going to cover it later on in the

14:17course, but essentially the really cool

14:19thing about NN and a lot of other note

14:21platforms, it'll it allows you to set up

14:23your own URL just like this up here,

14:27right? Nick nick

14:29YouTube.app.n.cloud where when anybody

14:31tries to access that URL or sends or

14:33receives data from or to that URL, you

14:36can basically get notified and you can

14:38use that as the the beginning of a

14:39trigger um for one of your flows. And

14:42the benefit to this too is you know how

14:43earlier I showed you guys that and had a

14:45bunch of you know native integrations

14:47about like 200 or something like that

14:48where you could connect with Acuity, you

14:50could do ClickUp, you could do Gmail,

14:51all that stuff. Well, a lot of the time,

14:52especially if it's a new platform, you

14:54don't actually have that native

14:55connection yet. And the benefit of

14:56having web hooks is they allow you to

14:58create that connection yourself. In

15:00these tools, most of the time they'll

15:02have a thing um called like a like a web

15:04hook listener. You can set up your own

15:06web hook listener to be this URL here.

15:08And then NAN can just listen to data

15:10being shuttled to and from those

15:12platforms, which basically in effect

15:14allows you to create an infinite number

15:15of integrations, connect to tens of

15:17thousands of different apps and

15:19ultimately become the automation god

15:20that we both know you want to be. Okay.

15:22Anyway, so I'm going to click that out

15:24and I'll cover all of the uh fields and

15:26everything like that that you saw there

15:27earlier. Next, we have a very nifty one

15:29which we're going to be using today

15:30called the on form submission. If I give

15:33this a click and then I uh add just some

15:35very base details here. Um let's just

15:37say

15:38name. Sorry, let's just do example

15:41form. Enter example data. What's your

15:45name? We'll go Peter. If I click test

15:48this step now, we're actually going to

15:49open up a little form that I could use

15:52to fill data out. And when I submit it,

15:54this basically begins my my flow, which

15:56is really neat. So in practice like in

15:59business flows you don't usually use

16:00this too much but I'm going to show you

16:01a simple um workflow that we can build

16:03today that will there's also when called

16:05by another workflow. This runs the flow

16:07when called by the execute workflow node

16:09from a different workflow. The reason

16:10why this is so valuable is because a lot

16:12of AI flows will use this. So if you

16:13want to learn how to build AI agents and

16:15stuff like that the when called by

16:16another workflow um execute workflow

16:19nodes the the that relationship there is

16:21very common and you'll see me do it a

16:22lot over the course of the rest of this

16:23tutorial. And then there's also on chat

16:25message which is very valuable. So, this

16:27runs a flow when a user sends a chat

16:29message um for use with AI notes. As we

16:31could see, you could ask AI just using a

16:34little chat interface, hey, can you

16:35check my calendar to um I don't know,

16:38double check that I'm not double booked

16:39for for 11:00 a.m. It'll actually go

16:41through um this little chat window

16:43trigger and then use that to begin the

16:44rest of this flow. There a few other

16:46ways. Um you could do an email trigger,

16:49IMAP, error trigger. This one's actually

16:51really nifty and most other no code

16:52tools don't have this. when there's an

16:54error in another workflow, you could

16:56trigger this workflow to do something

16:58with. There are a couple of like

17:00metadata things with NAD where you could

17:03set it up so that when you create

17:04another workflow somewhere in your NAD

17:06project, you trigger a flow when one of

17:09your flows starts or when one of your

17:11workflows is activated, you could do

17:12something. And there also a variety of

17:13actions here. We'll cover actions in a

17:15moment. And then there's this SSE

17:17trigger, which nobody really ever uses

17:18in practice from my understanding, so I

17:20won't sweat it. All right. Awesome. So

17:21that in essence are all of the triggers.

17:23In order for us to check out and learn

17:25some of the actions, we're obviously

17:26going to have to go and create a flow,

17:28right? In order for a flow to be a flow,

17:30it needs a trigger, something that

17:32starts it, and then an action, something

17:33it does. Now that we finished the first

17:34part, let's actually just go and start

17:36building our three workflows so you guys

17:38can see how to actually do things in

17:40NADN. It's one thing to sort of look at

17:42things from a canvas point of view. It's

17:43another thing to actually get in the

17:44weeds, get your hands dirty, start

17:45manipulating fields. Okay, I just jumped

17:47over to my other NAND account which

17:49contains these examples. And I just

17:50wanted to show you one more thing that I

17:52I haven't mentioned yet. You see how

17:54this is now this little like yellow note

17:57um with manual trigger send an email to

17:58someone. We'll start by learning how the

17:59manual trigger works. We'll also cover

18:00creating a brief connection and using

18:02that to send a templated email. This is

18:03just how I'm going to document um a lot

18:05of our work moving forward because it's

18:06very convenient. But what is this? This

18:08is basically a piece of documentation

18:09that you can just insert inside of your

18:11own N8 flows anytime you want. It's very

18:13simple. If you go to the top right hand

18:14corner, just go down a bit. There's a

18:16sticky note which you can do with the

18:18hotkey um shift and then S. So I go

18:20shift S. I just added a bunch of notes.

18:22I'm just going to command Z or control-

18:24Z just to go back. Um but yeah, you can

18:26just add a note anytime you want. And

18:27notes are really cool in because they

18:29allow you just to document things. You

18:30don't just have to use notes when you're

18:31trying to teach or show somebody

18:33something. In fact, my recommendation

18:34I'm just pressing one to center this. My

18:36recommendation is to use notes for

18:38yourself to document workflows for

18:39yourself. um just so that you know let's

18:41say you build a system for a client or

18:43for your own business and it works

18:45really well so you don't have to check

18:45in on it for 6 months but 6 months in

18:47you want to change something well now

18:49you're not like basically having to

18:50relearn the whole workflow now you have

18:52like a note which I don't know documents

18:53or teaches you a little bit about it

18:56okay so the very first system we're

18:57going to build and basically the thing

18:59that is going to allow us to get up and

19:00running to learn how the rest of the uh

19:02N8 end UX works is we're going to start

19:04with a manual trigger and we're just

19:05going to use that to send an email to

19:07somebody why this is valuable is because

19:09it's going to show us how to actually

19:11trigger a workflow like ourselves. We're

19:14also going to learn how to test a

19:15workflow and I'm going to run you

19:16through how the fields in NAN work as

19:18well. We're going to create a brief

19:20connection to my Gmail. Then we're going

19:22to use that to send basically the hello

19:23world example. If I click on this,

19:25actually, let me update that. Basically,

19:28our quote unquote hello

19:31world. Okay, great. So, I'm going to

19:33drag this add a first step over here and

19:35let's actually do it. Let's click add a

19:36first step and let's add this trigger

19:38manually flow. Click that node. Boot

19:42over to the left hand side. And now, as

19:43you can see, we have a node in our

19:45workflow that says when clicking test

19:48workflow. Awesome. I'm now going to

19:50click this plus button. What this

19:52enables us to do is basically do um some

19:54next step. So, what I'm going to do next

19:56is I'm going to add an action. This is

19:57our trigger. Remember, it has this

19:58little um electricity lightning icon

20:01next to it. What I'm going to do is I'm

20:03going to do probably the simplest thing

20:04that you can do in NAN, which is just

20:06send an email. I think most of us are

20:07probably using Gmail at this point. Um,

20:09I'm going to go Gmail over here. And

20:11then what I want is I just want to

20:13scroll down. There's so many message

20:14action. I got a label, delete a message,

20:16get a message, do whatever the hell I

20:17want. But the one that I want is I want

20:19send a message. So I'm going to click

20:21send a message. And two things will

20:22happen. The very first thing that will

20:24happen is we just connected an action to

20:26our trigger node. And so our canvas is

20:28now updated. It has two parts to it,

20:29which I'll show you in a second. The

20:30second thing is we are now faced with

20:32this screen. This is basically, you

20:35know, there's like the bird's eye view

20:37canvas screen where you see all the

20:38nodes laid out, but this is a screen

20:40that pertains to that particular node.

20:42And the really cool part about the way

20:43that NAND lays it out is this Gmail node

20:46which we just added um is sort of in the

20:48middle. On the left hand side here, we

20:49have the input to the node. On the right

20:51hand side, we can see the output of the

20:53node. So N8N and one of the reasons I

20:56love it so much is because it tries to

20:58show everything to you uh linearly and

21:00logically. Everything that comes in to

21:03this node that we added will be coming

21:05in through the left hand side which I

21:07think looks like the right hand side on

21:08my thing. So let's go over here. It'll

21:10come in through the left hand side. Then

21:13it'll hit your node. Your node will do

21:15something with that and then it will

21:17finally proceed uh out the left hand

21:20side as an output. So very simple

21:22conceptually and I can't really

21:24overstate how valuable this is just as

21:26somebody that's worked with like you

21:28know over a dozen no code tools at this

21:29point to have it laid out like this um I

21:31think shows that the team spent a lot of

21:33time and energy figuring out what like

21:34the most ideal UX was for development.

21:37Okay, so I'm going to ignore all of this

21:39input data stuff and and we'll we'll

21:41cover all of that later um just over the

21:43course of building. What we're going to

21:44do now is we're going to click this

21:45credential to connect with. So, I've

21:47already actually already connected my

21:48Gmail account, but I'm going to pretend

21:49like I haven't just because I want you

21:51guys to be able to follow along here.

21:52So, what you have to do is you have to

21:53click create new credential. Now, there

21:55are variety of ways to connect one of

21:57your accounts to NAN. There is OOTH or

22:01OOTH 2 and then there are also service

22:04accounts. I highly recommend anytime

22:06that there's an OOTH or OOTH 2 option

22:09available, you guys go with OOTH 2. To

22:12keep to make a long story short, OOTH 2

22:15just refers to you clicking a button

22:17like sign in with

22:19Google and then you being able to select

22:22an email address with which you can sign

22:24in. All you then have to do is actually

22:27sign into the service. In my case, I'm

22:29already signed into my own Gmail because

22:30I'm using Chrome and it already does

22:32that. Then you click continue and now

22:35you can close this window. It even tells

22:37you how lovely. And you'll see that it

22:40now has connected the account. Basically

22:42meaning that all of the stuff inside of

22:44my Gmail is now accessible to N8 and I

22:46can actually do things with it using

22:48various triggers and actions. So we're

22:50going to exit out of this now. And you

22:52can see that we're now connected to

22:53Gmail account 3. Okay. Next up we have a

22:56couple of fields. We have resource. This

22:58just allows us to choose what thing we

23:00are manipulating. So message label draft

23:02thread. For now we're just going to keep

23:04it as message. You can poke around with

23:05that after you're done this. Then the

23:07operations. So, we can do a ton of

23:08things here. We could add a label,

23:10delete, get many, mark as red, mark as

23:11unread, remove label, reply, send, and

23:14send and wait for approval. Lots of

23:16options here. We're just going to click

23:17send for our hello world example. And

23:18now we get to the juice of it, which is

23:20the two field. So, in my case, I'm going

23:22to be sending this to myself, which is

23:25[Music]

23:27nicholas@gmail.com. And I'm going to be

23:28putting a subject. And you can see it's

23:30already autofilled the hello world. So,

23:32I'm actually just going to go hello

23:34Nick. We have a bunch of email types

23:36here. There's text and HTML. For

23:38simplicity, I'm just going to go with

23:39text, but I want you guys to know that

23:40HTML is a programming language. It

23:42allows you to make your email pretty. If

23:43you guys have ever signed up to like a

23:45newsletter service and there's all these

23:46images and and and you know, banners and

23:49stuff like that. That's because they're

23:50using HTML. So, you can learn how to do

23:52that yourself. And then you can send

23:53stuff like that through NAN pretty

23:55easily. But then finally, we have the

23:57message. So, I'm just going to say,

23:58"Hello,

24:00Nick." And then I'm going to say, "It's

24:03nice to meet you."

24:06Okay, great. And now we've gotten to the

24:08point where the vast majority of this is

24:10done. We do have some extra options down

24:12here. I want you to know that basically

24:13all nodes that you can manipulate will

24:15have some form of extra option. You

24:17don't have to memorize every option for

24:19every node cuz there are hundreds of

24:20nodes. As I mentioned, generally

24:22speaking, there just a couple that are

24:23valuable. I know just off the top of my

24:25head that the Gmail node has one that's

24:28append attribution. Naden will try and

24:32market themselves all the time. So, if

24:33you do not turn this off, they will say

24:36this email was sent by NAND. It's not a

24:38big deal. Most no code platforms do

24:40this, but just make sure you actually

24:41turn it off if you want to use it for

24:42some sort of business use case. Okay.

24:45And then that's that. I'm just going to

24:46head over to my personal email here.

24:48Just open that up just so we could see.

24:50So, you see I have a ton of, you know,

24:53red emails here. And I'm just going to

24:55click test step. I'm now going to send

24:57the email. You can see the lefth hand

24:59side filled out first. It said when

25:00clicking test workflow and I'll cover

25:02that later. But the most important thing

25:04is this output field has now populated

25:06and we see here it's kind of like a

25:07table right with a column called ID

25:10another one called thread ID and then

25:11finally label ids. So any time that you

25:15send or receive data in NAD from one

25:18node to the next you're generally

25:19speaking going to have some sort of

25:21object that is created as a result. This

25:24data object um can take a number of

25:25forms and then it can visualize in a

25:27number of forms. The way that they do by

25:29default for this type of data is they do

25:31table view which is where it's separated

25:32kind of into columns like this. There's

25:34also JSON. This is JavaScript object

25:36notation. This is what a lot of

25:38programmers and people that are a little

25:39bit more familiar with no code are going

25:40to prefer because this is just a

25:42standard convention JavaScript object

25:44notation. They know what the brackets

25:46mean and I don't know instead of it

25:47being kind of left to right like this

25:49which can be squished, it's sort of top

25:50to bottom instead. There's also schema.

25:53This is generally what I find most

25:54people in NAND prefer. They prefer

25:56schema views. Schema views are great.

25:58They're sort of like JSON. It's just

26:00instead of them being written in code,

26:02it's just sort of a little bit cuter and

26:03it's wrapped in like little bubbles and

26:05stuff. So this data is the same as this

26:07data and this data is the same as this

26:09data. They're all just different ways of

26:10showcasing um what the information looks

26:12like to you. I should also note that you

26:15can search the output which is cool. And

26:16a lot of people, even seasoned

26:18professionals at NA, they like have

26:19never clicked this little search button.

26:21So give it a try. If you um are looking

26:23for a particular filter, let's say the

26:25object that is output is actually huge.

26:26And you'll see you can output a ton of

26:28different parameters here. But you want

26:30to just see if the output contains

26:31something, you can do so very quickly

26:32just using this. Then only that field

26:34will show and then you can very quickly

26:36manipulate that as necessary. Um you can

26:38also do a couple of other things like

26:39pin uh data. Um and I'm going to cover

26:41pinning data later. Uh and then kind of

26:44like one of the neat things you can do

26:45as well is you could actually manipulate

26:46the output data. So you could pretend

26:48like this just output a different ID.

26:50Maybe instead of 1 1949, it was

26:531821 3 or something. The reason why this

26:57is valuable is because it will then

26:58allow you to propagate that data moving

27:00forward. And as you can see, we just

27:01changed that number. It used to be 1

27:021949. Now it's 1823. So when I search

27:051949, we don't have two fields coming

27:06up. We only have one. Right? If I want

27:08to search for the 181, I go 18. There we

27:11go. Okay, great. So that's what happened

27:14in N. But why do we give a crap about

27:15that? We don't. What we care about is

27:17did I receive the email? Okay. And now

27:19you can see we just received that email.

27:21If I give it a click, it now says,

27:22"Hello, comma space Nick with an

27:24exclamation point. Nick leftclick.ai."

27:26That's the connection of the account

27:27that I made. Then it says, "Hello, Nick.

27:29It's nice to meet you." Fantastic.

27:31Amazing. Great. Thank you, NAN, for this

27:33lovely email. Just for shits and gigs.

27:36I'm going to click this append n

27:37attribution just retest it just so you

27:38guys can see what that attribution is

27:40like. Um, but as I mentioned, I I

27:41wouldn't really recommend it for

27:42business purposes. You just got this

27:44little almost email signature that says

27:46it was sent automatically with N8N.

27:48Okay, so I'm just going to turn that

27:49off. And then voila, we're basically

27:50done our first example. This is the

27:51hello world of N8N. Um, if you've made

27:53it to this point, you now literally know

27:55how to set up a simple trigger and a

27:56simple action. You can do a lot of stuff

27:58with what we've just covered. Honestly,

28:00if you take the tips and sort of the the

28:02workflow here, you can put together

28:04probably like 10% of all workflows at

28:06this point. Um, so as you can see, you

28:08know, it's it's sort of simple to get up

28:09and running as long as you have a couple

28:11of core fundamentals down, as long as

28:13you know what triggers and actions are.

28:14And obviously, um, you know, if you did

28:17not know what you were doing before you

28:18tried to do it, it' be a little bit

28:19tougher. So you have the benefit of my

28:21foresight, but flows in a nutshell are

28:24not really more complicated than this.

28:25You always have some trigger, then you

28:27have some thing that happens, and then

28:28you have the action, which is this

28:29Gmail. So let's kick this puppy up a

28:32notch. Instead of just doing an email,

28:34why don't we do an email, but let's also

28:36add AI. And then instead of a manual

28:37trigger where we just click the thing

28:39and then it runs, why don't we use a

28:40form to begin our workflow instead? So,

28:43the very first thing I'm going to do is

28:44I'm just going to delete this. I'm just

28:46going to scroll down here to form fill a

28:48autoresponder. And what we're going to

28:50want to do as our trigger is instead of

28:53it being trigger manually like we did

28:55before, we're going to go on form

28:56submission. just that I could show you

28:58um how to do things a little bit more um

29:01complicated like things that don't just

29:03rely and yeah, it's going to try and add

29:05it um all the way back up here. So, I

29:06got to go drag it down uh just so we

29:09could see how do you get data in from a

29:12resource that like isn't this canvas.

29:14Instead of us just clicking a button,

29:15let's actually trigger it based off

29:16something. So, the way we're going to do

29:17it is on this on form submission node.

29:20So, I give this a click. Um you'll see

29:22that now there are way more fields and

29:23this can actually be pretty

29:24intimidating. it's the first time that

29:25you've ever mucked around with something

29:26like

29:27this. So, don't worry. It's actually not

29:29that scary. Um, we'll we'll make it

29:31pretty simple. Up at the very top here,

29:33we have some form URLs. There's a test

29:34URL. There's a production URL. Right

29:36now, it's not really worth knowing the

29:38difference between the two. Just know

29:39that this is the URL of your form. So,

29:41you'll be able to send this to somebody.

29:42You'll say, "Hey, um, I'm really excited

29:44to get up and running with you. Thanks

29:46so much for paying the invoice. All you

29:48need to do is fill out the information

29:49on this form and my team will get

29:50started." You use this as an onboarding

29:52form. Next you have an authentication

29:54basic off none. Basically in our case um

29:56this just refers to how you want to

29:59secure the form. In our case we don't

30:00want to secure the form at all. We just

30:02want to use it. Now we need to create a

30:03form title. So maybe let's just go

30:05onboarding form. Form description. This

30:07is an onboarding form for leftclick.

30:10Fill out the fields and our team will

30:13get back to you shortly. As you can tell

30:15I'm building this example. I guess I'm

30:17framing it as an onboarding situation

30:18where you're working with somebody and

30:20you just sign the deal. So, you send

30:22them over a form and that form includes

30:23a bunch of fields with information they

30:25need to fill out in order to get started

30:26with you. So, uh what is your name?

30:29Maybe we'll do the the first one. So,

30:31we'll go first name. Well, I mean, we

30:34should probably already know their first

30:35name if we're on boarding them, but for

30:36the purpose of this example, let's roll

30:37with it. We have a bunch of different

30:39fields we could choose here. We could do

30:41text, text area, password, number, file,

30:44email, drop down list, and date. So,

30:46there's a lot going on, but let's uh

30:47roll with first name first.

30:50The second one, let's do last

30:54name. And let's just use my own

30:56information as placeholders. So I'm

30:57going to do Nick as the first

30:58placeholder, Sarafh as the last

31:00placeholder. Let's make both of these

31:02fields

31:02required. Let's go down here. Let's go

31:05email address. Now, because it's an

31:08email, we can actually choose a specific

31:10type of form field. I'm going to choose

31:13email. The reason why is because I want

31:15to force people to put in a properly

31:16formatted email. If I'm going to use

31:18this flow to send an email to somebody,

31:19obviously I'm going to need to make sure

31:20that email is valid. What if somebody

31:22typed in this instead? Or what if

31:24somebody typed in that instead? Both of

31:26my emails wouldn't go through. It' break

31:27my flow. This sort of pre-planning is

31:29necessary when you're putting together

31:30more complex no um flows because you

31:33just want to make sure that like the

31:34data is correct from the get- go. The

31:36data is uh bad, so will the rest of your

31:38flow. So will be the rest of your flow.

31:40Okay, great. And then let's just ask for

31:42a phone

31:43number. Then down over here, you could

31:45see that we have access to a bunch of

31:46different fields. There's number. You

31:48might immediately think that a number is

31:49the one to go to. Um, I don't think I'm

31:51going to do number for this. Uh, I don't

31:53think there's a a native phone number

31:55formatting field. If we did number, then

31:57that would mean that people wouldn't be

31:58able to put a format in like this, for

32:01instance. So, I kind of want people to

32:03be able to. So, instead, I'm just going

32:05to go text and then I'm just going to

32:06add a placeholder.

32:10And the idea is this is just going to

32:12tell them sort of what sort of format to

32:14use for their number. We're going to go

32:15required. Okay, great. Down here we can

32:18now choose when we want this form to

32:20trigger. So when do we want it to

32:21trigger? When the form is submitted. So

32:23that's what we're going to use. And then

32:24down here we have some other options. We

32:26could choose like a pen nadn

32:27attribution. I'm just going to turn that

32:29off. There's uh button labels. We can

32:31change the button label if you want.

32:33Let's get started. I think the default

32:35one just says a submit. Um, and then

32:37there are a variety of other ones here

32:38which I'm not going to cover right now

32:40because I want to keep things simple and

32:42straightforward. Awesome. So now that we

32:44have this, I'm just going to click test

32:45step. This is going to open up my form.

32:48And you can see this honestly is not a

32:49bad looking form. So I'm going to go

32:51nick surive nick at

32:54leftclick.ai. I'm just going to add

32:56a sort of example e phone number and

32:59then click let's get started. What

33:01happens when I fill this in? If we just

33:04make this a little bit smaller and we

33:06couldn't see this in real time, but what

33:08happened right there was the output

33:09populated. And so now we actually have

33:11all of these fields accessible to us in

33:13our NAN flow. First name, last name,

33:15email address, phone number, submitted

33:17at form mode as well. Form mode uh

33:19wasn't and submitted at. These weren't

33:20fields that were put in by me when I

33:22filled out the form. These are what are

33:24called metadata. And the cool part about

33:26metadata a lot of the time is you can

33:27use this metadata to do something cool

33:29with. So, you know, we could very easily

33:31use this to update a Google sheet or

33:33something with a list of submitted at

33:34dates so that we could always be

33:35tracking and sort of know like which

33:37form entry made it in at which time. We

33:40could distinguish between test and

33:42production workflows. Production being a

33:43live workflow. Anyhoo, so now that we

33:46have access to all this data, what I

33:48want to do just to make my life simpler

33:49is in the top right hand corner, I'm

33:50going to click this little pin button.

33:52The value in pinning the data in n and

33:54this is kind of different from most

33:55other noode platforms. But the value in

33:57pinning the data is by pinning the data

33:59we will have access to that same data on

34:01all nodes that are downstream from the

34:03trigger node or the node that we are

34:05pinning the data from. And this is

34:07valuable because as you'll see naden's

34:09whole testing flow involves you know in

34:11in future nodes or subsequent nodes

34:13testing using data from the previous

34:15node. And if there is no data from the

34:16previous node you are going to have to

34:18fill out that data in order to proceed.

34:20So this is just going to save us a

34:21little step. Now that we've done the

34:23form submission what I want to do is I

34:24want to send this to AI. Okay. So, I'm

34:26going to give this a click and I'm going

34:28to go over here and I'm going to type in

34:31um open

34:33AI. From here, we have a variety of ways

34:36that we can communicate with our AI. I'm

34:38going to scroll down until I get one

34:40called message a model. This is the

34:43simplest um AI module that you AI node

34:46that you guys could possibly use. This

34:49is basically chat GPT. It's just instead

34:51of us using chatgpt on their website,

34:53you know, chat.opa.com, openai.com.

34:55We're basically going to be

34:56communicating with it now through API,

34:57which is way cooler and enables way more

34:59cool use cases. So, credential to

35:02connect with. As you can see, I already

35:03have connected to my own OpenAI account.

35:05I'm going to go to create new credential

35:06just to show you guys how this works.

35:07Now, unfortunately, this is not yet have

35:09an ooth 2 connection. So, that means

35:12that as I mentioned previously, you're

35:13not going to be able just to like give

35:14that click uh give that button a click

35:16and then have it open up the signin with

35:18Google button. Instead, what you're

35:19going to have to do is you're going to

35:20have to add an API key. Your question is

35:22probably Nick, how the hell do I do

35:23this? The good thing is Naden is very

35:25gratuitous and forthcoming with

35:27documentation. So if I didn't know how

35:29to do this, I would actually click on

35:30this button, open docs, go down over

35:32here, and then I would look through to

35:34see how to do this connection. And just

35:36because I want to show you guys, like I

35:38know how to do this connection, but I

35:39want to show you guys if I didn't know

35:40how to do this connection, how I'd

35:42approach it, I would literally follow

35:43the documentation one by one by one. So

35:46to generate your API key, log into your

35:48OpenAI account or create an account. So

35:49I already have an OpenAI account. I'm

35:51just going to go platform.openai.com.

35:52openai.com. That's how you get sort of

35:54like their main API. From here, let's go

35:57back to the docs. Open your API keys

36:01page. As you can see, there's even a

36:02button there. It says API keys. So, I'm

36:05actually just going to go API- keys cuz

36:08that's the link that they just gave me a

36:10moment ago, right? So, I'm going to

36:12paste that in. It's now going to take us

36:14to our API key page. Next up, what does

36:17it say? Create new secret key to create

36:19an API key. optionally naming the key

36:21and then copy your key and add as the

36:22API key 999. That sounds simple. Create

36:24new secret key. YouTube example.

36:27Awesome. I'm then going to create my

36:30secret key. We now have a secret key

36:32that I can copy. So, I'm just going to

36:34go back to NAN and then paste in my API

36:36key. Boy, is that a long API key. Great.

36:38Now, we're going to save. And as you

36:40see, it says credential successfully

36:42created. This credential is currently

36:43private to you. Now, one thing that I

36:45didn't cover when I created the

36:46credential to the Gmail was you can

36:48actually rename these credentials to

36:49make your life a little bit easier. So,

36:50I'm just going to call this

36:52YouTube. So, now I know that this is

36:54like my YouTube example. And obviously,

36:56I could have much better naming

36:58conventions for this stuff, but sue me.

37:00Cool. Connection tested successfully.

37:02We're good to go. We can now exit out of

37:03this. And we have now connected to the

37:05credential um with the API key, meaning

37:07this is now hooked up just like we can

37:09now uh previously we could get all of

37:10our Gmail information in NAND. Now we

37:12can get all of our open eye information

37:14in

37:15NAN. Okay, great. So the variety of

37:18fields here like text, assistant, image,

37:20audio, file, custom API call. I'm just

37:22going to stick with text cuz I just want

37:23to talk to the model over text.

37:25Operation is going to be message a

37:28model. We get to choose from a list.

37:30Now, as of the time of this recording,

37:32the most popular model, just scroll way

37:35down here, is GPT40, this one. But I'll

37:39be honest, these models change pretty

37:40quick. So, by the time that you are

37:41watching this, might be a couple days

37:42after I recorded this, might be a couple

37:44months, the model's probably going to be

37:46different. I would just head on over to

37:47like OpenAI's model page, and then I

37:49just look to see what the current

37:50recommended one is, the flagship model,

37:52for instance. As you see, GBT40 is kind

37:54of like in the driver's seat here. Um,

37:56has a bunch of data on it. Um, and I

37:57just sort of use that to, I guess, guide

37:59me. If you're using another service,

38:01then it won't be in exactly the same

38:02place, but I think you guys get the

38:04idea. Okay, great. Now, we can define

38:05our prompt. You know, when you talk to

38:06CHP and you say, "Hey, I want you to do

38:08this thing." Well, there's actually a

38:10term for what you just did. You prompted

38:13ChatGBT and specifically you did so

38:15using a user prompt. You're the user, so

38:18that makes sense. Basically, the user

38:21prompt is what you want chat GBT or want

38:23in our case GPT40 to do for us. But

38:26there's actually one other prompt that

38:27you don't really get unless you're using

38:29um a no code tool like this. It's called

38:31the system prompt. This is used to set

38:32the model's behavior or context for the

38:34next user message. So, we're going to

38:36click on system first. And the way that

38:38the system prompt works for AI is the

38:40system prompt tells the model how to

38:42identify. So basically I'm saying, hey,

38:44I want you to identify as uh you know

38:47worldclass philosopher. I want you to

38:50identify as a PhD in genomics. I want

38:52you to identify as a helpful intelligent

38:54writing assistant. And however you you

38:56put your system prompt, the better it'll

38:58be at that specific thing more

39:00generally. There's a little bit of

39:01nuance there. I'm not going to go into

39:03it too much, but in my case, I'm just

39:05going to say you're a helpful,

39:06intelligent email writing assistant.

39:08Then I'll go period. So, that's what the

39:10system prompt is. Now, we're going to

39:11click add message. And then the next

39:14prompt I'm going to do is a user prompt.

39:15If I click on roll, though, you'll see

39:17there's also an assistant prompt. This

39:19is pretty interesting. What what you can

39:20do with the assistant prompt is you can

39:21pretend that the assistant has actually

39:23already said something in your chat

39:25chain. If you want it to act a certain

39:27way, you can give it examples of how you

39:28want it to be. Anyway, in my case, I'm

39:30going to do something very simple. user.

39:32Then I'll say your task is to customize

39:35an email using the following

39:38data. Now I'm going to go enter. Enter.

39:41This is going to make this stretch this

39:42out a bit. I'm actually going to open

39:44this up a bit more. Then I'm going to go

39:47um and I'm going to drag this first name

39:48in

39:49here. You see when I drag the first name

39:52in here, something changed. We just went

39:54from fixed to expression. Why did we do

39:57that? Well, basically fixed is almost

39:59always just going to be static text.

40:01Okay, we don't want static text. We

40:03actually want to connect a variable from

40:06a previous node into this OpenAI module

40:09or OpenAI node call. So, I'm going to go

40:12back to expression to show you guys how

40:13this works. All I need to do if you want

40:15to connect the input of the previous

40:17node into the current node is just drag

40:20it and then drop it where you want it.

40:23So now this is

40:25populating the um result is populating

40:28with the actual data from the test. If

40:30we zoom in way here you can actually see

40:31it says result. Your task is to

40:32customize an email using the following

40:34data. Then in green it says Nick. Here

40:36it says curly curly dollar sign JS with

40:40a square bracket. Like this is really

40:42intimidating and scary. Well this is

40:43just the code representation and this is

40:45the actual thing that just got

40:46populated. Okay. So that's how we're

40:49going to do this. I'm going to say first

40:53name and then Nick. Then we're going to

40:56go last name. And I'm just going to go

40:58and drag last name in

41:01here. I'm going to go email address. And

41:05I think I might have just deleted that.

41:06So, let me just do this one more time.

41:08Last name. Beautiful. Email address.

41:12Nick

41:14leftclick.ai. Phone

41:16number. Drag this puppy in here.

41:21Cool. That looks pretty good to me. And

41:23now what we're going to do is I'm going

41:25to click I'm going to leave simplify

41:27output um as

41:29is. Then I'm just going to write my

41:31email template. So I'm going to go down

41:32here and go email

41:34template. Hey

41:37name. Let's go first

41:40name. How are you? Thanks for submitting

41:45your

41:46request, your brief or onboarding form

41:51moment ago. I see here your number is

41:54number. Let's do phone number. I'm just

41:57putting this text in so the AI sort of

41:59like knows what to fill in. If you think

42:01about it, it has the first name over

42:02here. And if you think about it, I could

42:03just fill all this stuff in

42:04procedurally, but I'll show you why I'm

42:05doing this in a second. We're actually

42:06going to like level up the data to make

42:07the customization a lot more valuable.

42:10Um, I see here your phone number is

42:12blank and your email is

42:14email. Could you let me know if I'm

42:17missing anything? Thanks, Nick. Okay,

42:21great. So now what I'm going to do is

42:23remember how we pinned the data before.

42:25All we need to do in order to test the

42:27step now is we just go up here top

42:29rightand corner click test

42:31step. If you test the step is actually

42:34sending this whole thing to AI. And now

42:36we have a bunch of content. It's a

42:38subject welcome to our program back

42:40slashn back slashn. If you guys are

42:43unfamiliar with what the back slashns

42:44mean here, back slashn just means um

42:46like a new line. So this is trying to

42:48write us a whole email and it's doing so

42:49with new line characters instead of new

42:51lines just cuz AI has no real way of

42:53like creating a new line um without

42:55this. So this is basically just a new

42:57line character. Hey Nick, how are you?

42:59Thanks for submitting your onboarding

43:00form a moment ago. I see here your

43:02number is 6045005000 and your email is

43:04nick leftclick.ai. Could you let me know

43:06if I'm missing anything? Thanks, Nick.

43:07That's pretty neat. Why don't we just

43:09pin this

43:10output and why don't we hook this up now

43:12to another email

43:14module. And just to show you guys how

43:17useful it is to know a little bit of

43:19like NAND hotkeys, if you just go back

43:22to the previous email module we had, if

43:23I just hold command and C, same thing as

43:25right clicking and pressing copy. See

43:27the copy to clickboard event just came

43:29down. And I actually just paste this.

43:31And I'm basically now just pasting the

43:33same module I had before. And then I'm

43:35connecting it to the output of the

43:37OpenAI module. And you'll see here this

43:40is now accessible to us as input. The

43:41content is which is pretty cool, right?

43:43I'm noticing actually that this includes

43:44a subject line. I don't like this. So

43:47why don't I go back to AI then I'll just

43:50tell it don't include the subject line.

43:52Let's do that and let's test it. Let's

43:55unpin. Let's test the data. And now that

43:58it doesn't include the subject line,

43:59let's pin it again. Let's go back to our

44:01next module or our next node, I should

44:03say. I keep on using the term module

44:04because I'm big on make.com. It was kind

44:06of the major noode platform I learned

44:08and make.com always uses the term module

44:11for everything that uses the term node

44:13for. Anyway, now I'm going to drag this

44:15content field to the

44:17message and as you can see it's already

44:19populating with the

44:21email. I'm going to say re your

44:24onboarding form and I'm going to test

44:27this. The connection's already set up.

44:30All of the rest of the parameters are

44:31set up. everything set up cuz remember

44:32all we did was we just copied that

44:33module with all of the settings. In

44:35practice, I find I copy modules a lot.

44:37Okay, great. Now going back to my email,

44:38you see we have read your onboarding

44:40forms. I'm going give that a click. Now

44:42it says, "Hey Nick, how are you? Thanks

44:43for submitting your onboarding form a

44:45moment ago. I see here your number is

44:476045000 and your email is Nick

44:49leftclick.ai. Can you let me know if I'm

44:50missing anything? Thanks Nick." The

44:52reason why this is sort of like an AI

44:54example right now is because we actually

44:55just used AI to write this email for us.

44:57But if you think about it, what we've

44:59done so far is we haven't really done

45:00anything that you can't just do by

45:01dragging and dropping the first name

45:03into the email module instead. So next

45:05up, I want to do something that's a

45:06little bit more creative. Uh I want to

45:07do something that paraphrases what a

45:09person said or summarizes it. And in

45:11order for me to do that, I'm going to

45:13have to go in and I'm going to have to

45:14change the way that the form was a

45:15second ago. But anyh who, we've now done

45:17a different hello world example.

45:19Basically, um the hello world example we

45:20just did was instead of a manual trigger

45:22of us just clicking test step, we now

45:24have a form that triggers this. So, let

45:27me make a couple of adjustments to the

45:28flow and then we'll actually run through

45:30the form one final time and we'll see

45:31what it all looks like when we put

45:32things

45:33together. The adjustments I want to make

45:35to this form. I don't just want to ask

45:37for all this

45:38information. I want to ask for let's say

45:42design

45:43preference. I'm going to add a drop-own

45:46item and I'm going to say

45:48sleek. I'm going to say um

45:52minimalistic. I'll say luxurious.

45:55Then over here I'll say

45:58playful. Then I'm going to add another

46:00form field. I'm going to say give us a

46:02brief description of your brand. Or

46:05maybe we'll just say um brand

46:09description. My

46:11brand or maybe we'll do company

46:14description. Leftclick builds growth

46:17systems for B2B agencies and creative

46:20teams, enabling them to scale without

46:24having to manually reach out to

46:26prospects. Let's just do something like

46:28that. We'll make that required. Now,

46:30what's one more thing that I could do

46:32that might be new?

46:34H, we'll ask

46:38it timeline. And we'll say how quickly.

46:42Let's say uh 3 to 6 weeks. There you go.

46:45We'll go required field. Awesome. Okay.

46:47So now I'm going to click test this

46:48step. It's going to overwrite the pin

46:49data, but now it's going to open up our

46:51form and it's going to have way more

46:52information here, right? So I'm going to

46:54go Nick Sarif.

46:57Nickclick.ai. Um design preference. I

47:00want my website to be minimalistic.

47:02Company description. Leftclick. Build

47:04sleek growth systems, high performing

47:07growth

47:09systems for B2B agencies and creative

47:12teams. And the timeline is I want like

47:15one to two weeks. Okay, let's get

47:17started. Awesome. Fantastic. We now have

47:19all the information that we need in the

47:20output panel here. I'm going to pin this

47:22data to make it accessible to subsequent

47:24modules. Now, I'm just going to go in

47:26here and edit the prompt a little bit.

47:28And if you think about it, I don't just

47:29want to edit it with, you know,

47:30information about the the name and stuff

47:32like that. That's not super relevant to

47:33me. What I want to do

47:35instead is your task is to is to

47:38customize an email template using the

47:39following data.

47:41Let's just add in more information here.

47:44Let's go design

47:46preference. Drag this puppy in. I want

47:49to give it more data to do the

47:50customization

47:54with. Down here, I'll go timeline. We'll

47:57go one to two

47:58weeks. Okay, great. And so, basically,

48:01instead of what I had before, just hey,

48:02first name, how are you? Thanks for

48:03submitting your onboarding form a moment

48:06ago. I loved reading about

48:12thing about company. Let's

48:16do let's go paraphrase company

48:19description.

48:22I see

48:23here that you're looking for design

48:30preference a design preference sort of

48:36site and you're looking to have it

48:45done. Would you mind confirming

48:48your number for me one last time? I'm

48:53going to say formatted phone

48:56number. Right. Also, okay. And obviously

49:00they know the email because we're

49:01sending it. Cool. This looks pretty good

49:03to

49:04me. Don't include the subject line.

49:06Let's actually give this thing a go now.

49:08Let's click test step. We're going to

49:10feed all this data in. Let's see what

49:12our email looks like. Hey Nick, how are

49:15you? Thanks for submitting your

49:16onboarding form a moment ago. I loved

49:17reading about how Leftclick built high

49:18performing autonomous growth systems for

49:19B2B agencies and creative teams. I see

49:21here you're looking for a minimalistic

49:22sort of site and you're looking to do it

49:23within one to two weeks. Would you mind

49:24confirming your number for me one last

49:26time?

49:26604700s 5,000. Right. You let me know if

49:29I'm missing anything. Thanks, Nick. So,

49:31basically what we've done is we've um

49:32taken in some of the information here

49:35and then we've paraphrased it. Um I

49:37guess in this case we didn't actually

49:38paraphrase. This looks like an exact one

49:40for one. Hm.

49:48Cool. Okay, great. Let's test this one

49:50more time just to make sure that we got

49:52a personalized but customized thing

49:53that's

49:56paraphrased. Cool. Looks pretty good.

49:59Um, what I'm going to do now is I'm

50:00going to go down to our Gmail

50:03module. Take the data. I'm going to test

50:06it. We've now sent an email and we

50:08should have received another one called

50:10read your onboarding form. This is the

50:12customized email, which looks pretty

50:14nice and sexy. And now that we figured

50:16out how to do this testing one by one by

50:18one, why don't we actually test the

50:19whole thing from start to finish? Okay.

50:21Yeah, let's actually just run this whole

50:22thing. So, I'm going to go down to the

50:25bottom. Instead of us testing the module

50:27one by one, which is where we click on

50:28it and then we click that test step,

50:29we're actually going to test the whole

50:30workflow. So, I'm going to click test

50:32workflow. It's using the pin data. It's

50:35running through. Uh, we don't actually

50:37want to pin the data, so I'm going to

50:38click unpin. Okay, now it's time to test

50:40out this flow. I'm just going to go back

50:42to the form submission and I'm just

50:43going to do a little bit differently to

50:44how we did before. I'm actually going to

50:45copy this form URL myself. Click test

50:48workflow and let me exit out of that.

50:50And I'll show you guys you guys can

50:51actually just test this from anywhere.

50:52I'm just going to go back here, open up

50:54an incognito tab, paste it in, and this

50:56is the same input now, right? So, I

50:58don't know, Nick um Sarah. Uh we'll go

51:01Nick at leftclick.ai. We'll do phone

51:04number. Then design preference

51:06minimalistic company description.

51:08NY's Donuts sells sleek, high-end

51:12donuts with a creative

51:15twirl. We're big on uh I don't know,

51:18let's do our favorites are chocolate and

51:22pink sprinkles or something. Uh timeline

51:24would be like 3 weeks or so. Then I'm

51:28going to click let's get started. It's

51:29now going to submit it. And I just

51:31wanted to show you guys this is like a

51:32live form. Like you can use this

51:33anywhere you want to test this thing.

51:34You don't have to just like click that

51:36button. Um what just happened in the

51:37background was these just went green.

51:38Green means that you know the flow has

51:40now been completed and that node has

51:42been done. So this node completed, this

51:45middle node completed and that last node

51:46completed. That means that if I go back

51:47to uh my page here, I should be able to

51:51see set input. So hey Nick, how are you?

51:53Thanks for submitting your onboarding

51:54for a m ago. I love reading about how

51:55Nick's donuts sell sleek high and donuts

51:56with creative twirl. I see here looking

51:58for a minimalistic sort of site and

51:59you're looking to do it in about 3 weeks

52:00or so. Um you know the data here was

52:02different. We're paraphrasing a fair

52:04amount which is pretty cool. Would you

52:05mind confirming your number for me one

52:06last time? 604500 5,000. Right. Could

52:08you let me know if I'm missing anything?

52:09Thanks, Nick. Very cool. Very cool.

52:12Okay, beautiful. So, that's the uh

52:15second example here with form fill and

52:17some AI autoresponder. Um, worth noting

52:20here that our AI autoresponder sent

52:21something immediately, but you can also

52:23use a delay. Like, hypothetically, if

52:25somebody fills that out, you don't

52:26really want to send it immediately. So,

52:27why don't we just cap this off with like

52:29a quick like 120 second delay to connect

52:33it. Um all we do is we drag we exit um

52:36both of these connections. We drag this

52:38over here and then we drag that over

52:40there. And now basically we have um the

52:42form submission coming through. AI then

52:44figures out what it wants to say. We

52:46wait for 120 seconds and then we send

52:48the Gmail. Pretty neat, right? Cool. So

52:51big fan of that flow. Um you can

52:53manipulate and you know improve that

52:55flow however you want. Obviously this

52:56paraphrasing here was pretty lowle and

52:58weak, but you could do a ton of things.

52:59You could ask it to generate you a list

53:00of questions to ask the onboard for

53:02instance. You could um have it uh I

53:06don't know suggest a bunch of actions

53:08based off of some form fields. There's a

53:10lot that you could do when you want to

53:12make the flow production ready or live.

53:15You'd have to click on production URL.

53:17This would then be the form that you

53:19would use instead of the test one. Then

53:20you'd have to activate your flow by

53:22clicking this button up here in the top

53:23right hand corner. So now basically

53:25anytime that uh the production form URL

53:28is filled out, we will fill out this

53:30flow and then send an email which is

53:32kind of neat, right? Not saying that

53:34this is what you guys should do right

53:36now. I just wanted to show you guys what

53:37that process looks like when you

53:38actually activate a node or workflow.

53:40Okay, great. Now let's use one final

53:42example to show you guys and level this

53:44up a little bit. Show you guys how you

53:45might actually use this in a real

53:46business flow. So maybe instead of an

53:48onboarding form, which is kind of

53:49contrived example here, we instead we

53:50have a calendar booking. What we want to

53:52do is when somebody books on my

53:54calendar, um, I want to reply to them

53:55and I want to make it seem like it's a

53:56personalized reply. Then after that, I

53:58want to add a new row to my CRM where

54:00I'm storing all this data. Okay, so

54:02there are going to be a couple of moving

54:03pieces here. And I'm just going to keep

54:04everything very light, but I'm also

54:06going to walk you through the process

54:07step by step. First of all, I have a

54:09cal.com set up,

54:13nick-leclick/inter, so you can book

54:14internal calls with me if you're on my

54:16team using this calendar. As you can

54:18see, 1:30 p.m. is open. What I want to

54:20happen is when I give this a click, I

54:22basically want to use this to trigger a

54:24flow that immediately sends them over an

54:26email. And it's an email from Nick. It's

54:28an email from me saying, "Hey, you know,

54:30just saw you booked today. Really

54:31looking forward to chatting with you."

54:32It's going to substantially improve the

54:33perceived personalization of this flow.

54:35It's going to make people think that I'm

54:37paying private and and one-on-one

54:38attention to them, which is great. Then

54:40what I want to do is I want to take that

54:41data and I want to use it to fill in a

54:44row inside of my CRM. Now, I'm using a

54:46um thing called ClickUp here for my CRM.

54:48Sorry, wrong account. Let's go over

54:50here. I'm using um a CRM called ClickUp.

54:53ClickUp is a fantastic high- quality CRM

54:55that allows you to do a ton of stuff. Um

54:57but for the purposes of this example,

54:58I'm just going to be filling in this

55:00creative agency template CRM that I set

55:02up a while ago. Basically, what I want

55:04to happen is when somebody fills out the

55:06calendar booking, I want to add them

55:08over here to this meeting booked um

55:10status so that I have their first name,

55:12their last name, their email address,

55:14some other information about them,

55:16company oneliner, maybe some meeting

55:17URLs. Let's actually get to like

55:19business uh flows now because I think

55:22honestly after like an hour, you guys

55:23know more than enough to do it. And let

55:25me show you guys what an actual

55:26automation build for something like

55:27this, an NN would look like. Okay,

55:30great. So the very first thing we have

55:31to do is we just have to set up our

55:34trigger here. So I'm going to go over to

55:36three NAND examples and then I'm going

55:40to just going to remove this on form

55:42submission trigger. The reason why is if

55:44you have um triggers in NAN um when I

55:46test the workflow it's going to test the

55:48the other trigger. So we just need one

55:50trigger per flow. I'm going to go down

55:52here and what I want to trigger is I

55:54just want to see if there's a cal.com

55:56node. Cal.com is the service that I'm

55:58using. There variety of other ones.

55:59There's kalanly as well which I know

56:01many people use very popular but I'm

56:02going to use cal.com and what I want is

56:04my trigger is I want onbooking

56:06created. So I have credentials that I

56:09can add here. What I'm going to do is

56:10I'll go create new credential and then

56:12you can see here I need to find my API

56:14key for um cal.com. There's also a bunch

56:16of docs over here. In my case I know

56:19where my docs are. You can see that I

56:20have YouTube nn example expires in 24

56:23days. I'm just going to delete that.

56:24I'll make a new one. And then I am going

56:25to have it expire just in case my silly

56:28brain forgets to update this. I'll save.

56:31I'm going to copy this. Then I'll go

56:33back here to my API key. I'm just going

56:36to paste that in. The host is

56:37autofilled. It's always api.cal.com. So

56:39don't worry about that. Then I'm going

56:40to click save. This is now going to

56:42successfully create my credentials. I'm

56:43now going to go over here, type YouTube

56:45just to make sure that I I name it right

56:46and everything. I'll save and test it

56:48one more time. Exit out. Okay. So there

56:50variety of events that I could use here.

56:52The one that I'm going to want is called

56:53booking created. But I want you guys to

56:54know you can also trigger a flow like

56:56this when a booking is canceled. You do

56:57it when a booking is rescheduled, when a

56:59meeting is ended even. You also have

57:01some options here um which are a little

57:03bit more advanced. I'm not going to get

57:04into all of them, but essentially these

57:06light is set like metadata and other um

57:08payloads and stuff like that for more

57:10advanced flows where you need to tag

57:11people and know where they're coming

57:12from and that sort of stuff. Anyway, so

57:14what I'm going to do is I'm going to

57:15click test step. When I do, it's now

57:18listening for one of my bookings. So I'm

57:20going to go over here to internal.

57:21Actually, you know what? I think I have

57:22a better one. Um, instead of internal,

57:26don't I have one that's

57:29for discovery calls? That's probably a

57:32little bit better. Yeah, let's do that.

57:34So, I'm going to go in and I'm going to

57:35book a meeting with myself. Uh, I'm

57:37going to pretend my name is Peter

57:39Jackson and my email address is just

57:42going to be my longer email address

57:45here. I'm going to fill my gross monthly

57:46revenue at 20K. And then for additional

57:49notes, I'll say, "I'm a big fan of your

57:52YouTube channel and would love to know

57:55more about how I can grow past 20K."

57:58Then I'm going to click confirm. After I

58:00click confirm, I'm just going to open up

58:02this page again because I want to watch

58:03the event come in live. And as we see,

58:05the event did indeed come in live. We

58:07have a ton of fields here. Trigger

58:08event, created at, booker, URL, type,

58:10title, on and on and on and on. Because

58:12remember at the beginning of this when

58:13we were just getting started with a

58:14simple flow, I was like, sometimes calls

58:16have a lot of fields. Well, this node

58:18output a ton of fields. So, what I'm

58:20going to do just to make sure I don't

58:21lose this is I'm going to pin this. And

58:24then what I want to do is I want to feed

58:26this into a Gmail node. Now, if you guys

58:28remember my previous hack was just going

58:30to the Gmail node, selecting it, command

58:33C, commandV. Very

58:36clean. And then I'm going to go double

58:38click on this. I have all the data

58:40accessible to me. And now instead of

58:42this, I'm just going to say re recent

58:44meeting. And then I'm just going to say,

58:46"Hey,

58:47Peter, instead of just text, why don't I

58:50do an HTML email?" Just to show you guys

58:51what this might look like. If you want

58:53to write an HTML email, a couple things

58:55you have to know. A new lines are this

58:57BR. So, if you want to add two new

59:00lines, you'd go BR BR. Hey, Peter, just

59:03saw you

59:06booked a and let's go

59:09type. Let's drag this over here.

59:13blank

59:15call looking forward to learning more

59:18about you slashthe business. Then I'm

59:21going to say

59:24br Thanks

59:27Brick. So when I send this email via

59:30HTML it'll say hey Peter new line new

59:32line. That'll be two lines. Just saw you

59:35booked at just saw you booked a

59:37discovery call. Looking forward to

59:38learning more about you/the business.

59:40Then it'll go new line, new line. Then

59:42it'll go thanks. Then it'll go new line.

59:44Then it'll go neck. In terms of um you

59:47know what this looks like. Let's see if

59:49we could customize this a little bit

59:50more. Maybe I'll go reming with and then

59:53I'll grab the first name

59:55in. So I say remeating with Peter.

59:58Perfect. Then in terms of the email

1:00:01address I'm going to be sending this to.

1:00:02I'm not going to hardcode this at

1:00:03Nicholas. Now, I'm actually going to

1:00:04enter in Peter's email, which is

1:00:06apparently going to be this value key,

1:00:08which will always say

1:00:10Nicholas@gmail.com with this example.

1:00:13Um, and then I think at this point,

1:00:14we've now filled out everything, right?

1:00:16Send HTML. Yep, looks good. Let's

1:00:18actually test this. Send myself an

1:00:20email. We've now received a um status of

1:00:23send, which is cool. So, you can see

1:00:25I've received two emails. The first was

1:00:27um cal.com letting me know that I've

1:00:29just booked a meeting with Peter. And

1:00:30the second one is the email that I'm

1:00:31supposed to be sending or receiving as

1:00:33Peter. Hey Peter, new line, new line.

1:00:36Just saw you booked a discovery call.

1:00:37Looking forward to learning more about

1:00:38you, the business. New line, new line.

1:00:40Thanks, Nick. That's pretty sweet,

1:00:41right? Looking forward to um that

1:00:44conversation with Peter. But I got to be

1:00:46honest, I think that we could probably

1:00:47customize this a little bit better. I

1:00:48don't really like the way that this is

1:00:50um so small and minimal. So, why don't

1:00:52we do a little bit of like um date

1:00:53customization? You guys see on the lefth

1:00:55hand side here, there's a start time and

1:00:56an end time. Well, this isn't a very

1:00:58particular format. datetime format that

1:01:00we can convert into natural language

1:01:02instead of this. How cool would it be if

1:01:03we could say, "Hey, looking forward to

1:01:04our chat on Tuesday, on Saturday, on

1:01:10Wednesday. See you." And what I'm going

1:01:12to do is I'm going to drag in the start

1:01:14time

1:01:15here. And what you'll find is because of

1:01:17the format of NAD, which can be a little

1:01:20bit intimidating if you're not familiar

1:01:21with it, we have these curly brace curly

1:01:24brace a dollar sign JSON dot and then

1:01:26the variable name start time. Well, the

1:01:28cool thing about Na is if I put a period

1:01:30here, I can actually do a ton of stuff

1:01:32with this. Like I can do a ton of stuff

1:01:34with this. What I want to do is I want

1:01:36to convert this to a date time, then I

1:01:39want to format this. And the way I want

1:01:42to format this is I want to format this

1:01:43as a date. So I don't go DD no M A.

1:01:51Sorry. There's a specific datetime uh

1:01:55formatting key thing here. here. So, I'm

1:01:57going to read the formatting guide

1:01:58really quickly. And we're just going to

1:01:59find out how to say like Monday or

1:02:01Tuesday or

1:02:03something. Okay. See this? So, it's

1:02:05CCCCC looks like. So, that's the token

1:02:07that I'm going to use. Or maybe it's E.

1:02:09I don't know. Let's try both. We'll

1:02:11format as

1:02:13E. Awesome. See you Friday. Perfect. You

1:02:16see how um that we're sort of just like

1:02:17iteratively developing or iteratively

1:02:19editing this. And it ends really cool

1:02:21because it actually shows you the value

1:02:22of the thing that you are currently

1:02:23manipulating down here. So, the purpose

1:02:26of this is not to have me for me to

1:02:28expect you guys to know how to do any of

1:02:29this date uh formatting for now. I just

1:02:31wanted to show you what might be

1:02:32possible with a little bit more complex

1:02:33JavaScript and and JSON formatting down

1:02:35the line. This dot notation is really

1:02:38valuable. It just allows you to very

1:02:39quickly manipulate things. In my case, I

1:02:41called this variable JSON.start time. I

1:02:44then converted it to something called a

1:02:45datetime variable. Then I formatted it

1:02:47as a day of the week and that's why it

1:02:50says Friday. Okay, great. So, now that I

1:02:52have that, let's test this flow.

1:02:55Let's just double check that Friday was

1:02:56formatted well. Everything looks good to

1:02:59me. And now let's move on with that last

1:03:01part of our example, which is going to

1:03:02be taking this and using it to update uh

1:03:04my CRM, which is ClickUp. So, I'm going

1:03:07to give this a click. Give this a click

1:03:09up. And then I'm going to go click up.

1:03:13And what I'm going to do next is I'm

1:03:14going to scroll all the way down to

1:03:17tasks. What I want to do is I want to

1:03:19create a task. Okay, great. Now, we have

1:03:22the ability to choose our credentials.

1:03:23So, if I go to create a new credential,

1:03:25you can see that it asks me to connect

1:03:27my ClickUp account. I'm going to click

1:03:28connect. It'll now say, do you want to

1:03:29connect with NSM? I'll say

1:03:31yes, the window can now be closed.

1:03:35Beautiful. And why don't we do that one

1:03:37more time? We'll call this YouTube.

1:03:39Click

1:03:40save. Awesome. Now, I'm going to exit

1:03:42out of this. And now we have access to

1:03:44the credential for for YouTube for my

1:03:46ClickUp account. So, basically, if you

1:03:47guys remember, what I wanted to do a

1:03:49moment ago was every time a new calendar

1:03:50booking comes in, I want to add a row to

1:03:52this meeting booked um space, and I want

1:03:55to say Peter Smith, person's first name,

1:03:57um status. We don't have the project

1:03:59type or email or company name or

1:04:01anything like that, unfortunately. So,

1:04:02I'm just going to leave most of this

1:04:03out. Why don't we just um hide these

1:04:06columns for

1:04:07now? But I just want to show a proof of

1:04:09concept to show you guys that we can

1:04:10indeed get the data in. And we're going

1:04:12to put the meeting URL here as well,

1:04:13which is going to be

1:04:15nice. And future videos will show you

1:04:17guys how to build CRM like this and

1:04:18connect them um using

1:04:20naden. Okay, awesome. So now let's head

1:04:22back over to this ClickUp module or

1:04:24ClickUp node rather. And uh we'll go

1:04:26operation create. What I want to do is

1:04:27create a task. The team name is NSM.

1:04:30It'll go and it'll find the space name

1:04:31which will be template creative agency.

1:04:34It'll find the folder name which is CRM.

1:04:36The list name will be sales. I know this

1:04:38because if I look on the right hand

1:04:40side, right, this is NSM. This is my

1:04:42template creative agency. This is my CRM

1:04:44folder. This is my sales list. So, I'm

1:04:46just going down top to bottom and

1:04:48connecting them. Then, we'll have a name

1:04:50here, and I'll be able to add the name.

1:04:52Now, what do I want to be the name? The

1:04:54reason why I picked this as an example

1:04:55is because we're going to be

1:04:57manipulating data from a node that's not

1:04:58just the previous node, but it's

1:05:00actually a couple nodes back now. And as

1:05:01you can see, this previous node here,

1:05:03all we have access to are a bunch of

1:05:04Gmail things, right? ID, thread ID,

1:05:06labels, label, ID. If you want to go one

1:05:08step back, what you have to do is you

1:05:09have to open up this cal.com trigger. So

1:05:12basically what we have here is at the

1:05:14very bottom, this is the very first node

1:05:16that we executed, this trigger, this is

1:05:18the second node we executed. The most

1:05:20recent node is always going to be on the

1:05:22top and then every node that's connected

1:05:23to the the previous node. Um it's just

1:05:26going to go lower and lower and lower

1:05:27and lower. So if we had a 20 node flow,

1:05:28for instance, the very first node in our

1:05:30flow would be down here, second would be

1:05:32here, third would be here, working all

1:05:34the way up until the final most recent

1:05:36one or the previous one up at the top.

1:05:38But anyway, now I want to access data

1:05:39from my cal.com trigger. So that is two

1:05:41nodes back. So it's not going to be um

1:05:43you know immediately behind us, but we

1:05:45could still open and access stuff as

1:05:46needed. What I want to do now is the

1:05:49name of this record, if you think about

1:05:50it, I want it to be the first and the

1:05:51last name of the person. I just wanted

1:05:52to say Peter Jackson. So I'm going to go

1:05:54here,

1:05:55Peter. And you'll notice that the syntax

1:05:57here changed pretty substantially, but

1:05:59we'll cover that later. Then I'll go

1:06:00space and then last

1:06:02name. So now it says Peter space

1:06:05Jackson. That's the name of the record.

1:06:07Okay. So, why don't I why don't I do

1:06:10this. Why don't I go back to my Gmail?

1:06:12Let's just pin this. Not that it

1:06:14matters. I'll go over here. What I want

1:06:16to do is I just want to test this step

1:06:18and show you guys what it looks like

1:06:19when something gets updated in my

1:06:20ClickUp. You guys see that Peter Jackson

1:06:23was just added. How cool is that? We've

1:06:24now just bridged the gap and we've added

1:06:26Peter Jackson who was previously inside

1:06:28of NAN whose data we got from click uh

1:06:30from cal.com which is a totally

1:06:32different software platform and we put

1:06:33it in ClickUp. But you'll notice that,

1:06:36you know, a couple things are off here.

1:06:37I want to make the status meeting

1:06:39booked. And then I also want to fill out

1:06:41this meeting URL. So in order to do this

1:06:44with ClickUp, what we have to do is we

1:06:45have to go and we have to fill out

1:06:46what's called a custom fields JSON. This

1:06:48is kind of annoying to do in ClickUp to

1:06:50be honest. Um I wish that there was an

1:06:51easier way to do this. Uh maybe at some

1:06:54point in time ClickUp will provide an

1:06:56easier way to do this through their API,

1:06:57but hey, what are you going to do? So in

1:06:59order to do this what we have to do is

1:07:00we have to go down here to where it says

1:07:03add additional fields rather what we

1:07:07have to do is we have to number one set

1:07:09the status name manually. We have to set

1:07:12it to meeting booked. Okay. And we also

1:07:13have to go over here and add custom

1:07:15fields JSON. Now this is pretty annoying

1:07:17to do unfortunately in um N8N. We have

1:07:21to basically figure out what the ID of

1:07:23the field is before we fill it out. And

1:07:25then in order to do so, we also have to

1:07:27do um use this format with like a square

1:07:29bracket then a space left curly bracket

1:07:32quote ID quote um colon space quote

1:07:36quote then inside of there we'll have

1:07:37the ID. Then we have the value which is

1:07:39the thing we're going to fill it in

1:07:40with. Sometimes you have to do this. I

1:07:42know the ID already. Um so I'm just

1:07:44going to paste that in. And then I'm

1:07:46just going to paste in the rest of this

1:07:47as well for

1:07:49simplicity. In this case um I'm just

1:07:52going to go expression go back here. ID

1:07:55will be this and then the value is going

1:07:58to be the meeting URL. So what I'm going

1:08:00to do is I'll go here. I'll go

1:08:02meeting. Maybe I'll go URL. There you

1:08:05go. Video call URL. I'm going to drag

1:08:07this over here between these two quotes.

1:08:10Okay. So now if you look at the JSON

1:08:13that I'm sending, it is now uh in the

1:08:15right format uh that uh ClickUp is

1:08:17requesting. Don't worry too much about

1:08:19the code aspect of this. I put this in

1:08:20here just to show you guys that like

1:08:22there is some knowledge that will make

1:08:23it a lot easier for you to do specific

1:08:25things that you want to do. For

1:08:26instance, if you didn't know this, it

1:08:27would probably take three or four more

1:08:29nodes in order to get there. And that's

1:08:30okay. Um, everybody needs to start

1:08:32somewhere. But in future videos as we

1:08:34cover all of the different functions and

1:08:36dot notations of NAD. Um, stuff like

1:08:38this sort of just adds fuel to the fire.

1:08:40Okay, great. So now I'm going to test

1:08:41this one more time. We'll go back to

1:08:44ClickUp and we'll see what we just did.

1:08:46We just added Peter Jackson except now

1:08:49we've done so with the status that says

1:08:50meeting book and also with the meeting

1:08:52URL of the call that we're going to

1:08:53have. So in this way we've created a

1:08:55very simple flow that when a new cal.com

1:08:58meeting comes in we reply with an email

1:09:01and then immediately after we log it in

1:09:03our CRM. This sort of thing is crazy

1:09:06effective for small to mediumsiz

1:09:08businesses. A lot of them lack

1:09:10organization and they don't really

1:09:11understand how to do these sorts of

1:09:12connections. Well, the great news is you

1:09:14can now, you know, assuming that you've

1:09:16you've built this out on your own and I

1:09:17highly recommend you build alongside me.

1:09:19You can now do this sort of thing, not

1:09:20just for ClickUp, but for any CRM out

1:09:22there and not just for Cal.com, but for

1:09:24any calendar booking platform out there.

1:09:26At the end of the day, they all they're

1:09:28all more or less the same. Awesome. So,

1:09:30the last thing I'm going to do, I don't

1:09:31call any build done until I test it end

1:09:33to end. So, I'm just going to remove the

1:09:35pin data here.

1:09:37Sorry. You got to go up here, top right

1:09:39hand corner, click unpin, then click

1:09:42unpin. Then what I'm going to do is I'm

1:09:44going to test this workflow from start

1:09:45to finish on actual data. If we double

1:09:48click on this, it's listening for a test

1:09:49event, so we have to actually go fill it

1:09:50out. I'm going to go back to my

1:09:51calendar. Now, I'm just going to make a

1:09:53second test booking at like a slightly

1:09:54different time. Let's open up a tab here

1:09:56and let's do it. Uh, we'll go 2 p.m.

1:09:59This will still be Nick. Well, let's say

1:10:01Sally. Oh, what did I say? Lozen or

1:10:03something. I forgot what her last name

1:10:04was. I think a lozenge is a thing you

1:10:07put in your mouth when you are

1:10:09sick. Okay. Anyway,

1:10:11confirm. This is now going to go through

1:10:13the booking flow. Go on my calendar.

1:10:16Apparently, book me. Uh, and then if we

1:10:18go over here, you'll see we just pulled

1:10:20in the data with Sally Lozenge.

1:10:22Apparently, if we go to our ClickUp,

1:10:24we'll go down here and we'll see Sally

1:10:25Lozen was now put in, which is pretty

1:10:27neat. So, yeah. Um, that's that for our

1:10:30third NN example. And just to cover

1:10:32things, what we did here was we didn't

1:10:34just learn how to use an app trigger

1:10:36like cal.com do an API connection using

1:10:39an API key. You know, send emails and

1:10:42stuff, but we also learned how to

1:10:42reference data a couple of nodes back,

1:10:44which is very important. And ultimately,

1:10:46you know, most of the complex flows that

1:10:47have value will be you referencing data

1:10:49from all over the freaking place, not

1:10:51just the previous node. So, I hope that

1:10:53this makes sense. What I'm going to do

1:10:54is I'm going to save this and I'll make

1:10:56this accessible for you guys to play

1:10:57around with. Note that we do not have

1:10:58the trigger nodes in this. That's okay.

1:11:00You guys now, if you've made it to this

1:11:02point of the video, know everything you

1:11:03need to know to get to the same point.

1:11:04Future videos, as I mentioned, are going

1:11:05to be covering a lot of the more code

1:11:07oriented stuff that I just did here for

1:11:09that last section with the IDs and the

1:11:11JSON and the dot notation in detail,

1:11:13just so you guys can add fuel to the

1:11:15fire and, you know, get a lot more

1:11:16competent with NAN and no code in

1:11:18general. Great work uncovering that

1:11:20first section. You now hopefully

1:11:21understand what NAND is, how to get set

1:11:23up on the platform, and even how to

1:11:25build some simple but useful workflows.

1:11:28But if you guys really want to

1:11:29understand NAND and not just NADN but no

1:11:31code in general, you need a little bit

1:11:32more knowledge in terms of logic data

1:11:35handling and then the ability to

1:11:36manipulate some of the data that we've

1:11:38seen already. That's what this next part

1:11:40is all about. We're going to dive into

1:11:41some more foundational concepts to

1:11:43separate maybe the NADN automation

1:11:45entrepreneur who is solely restricted to

1:11:47copying and pasting blueprints from the

1:11:49internet to somebody that can actually

1:11:51build templates of this kind out on

1:11:53their own. Just a quick note before we

1:11:54dive in. If you're serious and want to

1:11:56turn these technical concepts into a

1:11:58real business, definitely check out

1:12:00Maker School. It's my Noode AI

1:12:02automation community with daily

1:12:03accountability that shows you how to

1:12:05take this skill set that we're

1:12:06developing right now and actually put it

1:12:07in front of real customers. I have over

1:12:092,000 members in the community as of

1:12:11right now. We get new wins, thousands of

1:12:14dollars closed every day. And if you

1:12:16guys want the straightest line path

1:12:17between somebody that doesn't understand

1:12:19any of this to somebody that is actively

1:12:20running and managing a successful and

1:12:22thriving AI automation business, there

1:12:24is no better way. Anyway, whatever you

1:12:26do, let's dive into the next part. So,

1:12:28if you guys have seen some of the other

1:12:29videos on my channel, you'll know that I

1:12:30put a very big emphasis on building

1:12:32things practically. I don't really care

1:12:33much for the academic side of things. I

1:12:35prefer we just dive right in and then

1:12:36teach some of these concepts by actually

1:12:38putting nodes together, making workflows

1:12:40that you could sell for business

1:12:41purposes or implement into your own

1:12:42companies. And that's what we're going

1:12:44to be doing today. We can't really get

1:12:45away from doing some of the academic

1:12:47stuff with JSON just because, you know,

1:12:49if you don't know JavaScript object

1:12:50notation, you are going to have to learn

1:12:52some things like types and objects and

1:12:54what variables are and stuff like that.

1:12:55But for the most part, we're going to be

1:12:57learning all of these concepts down here

1:12:59by building two workflows. The first

1:13:01workflow is up here. And essentially

1:13:03what this does is it feeds in a bunch of

1:13:05lead data to artificial

1:13:08intelligence. This is the Google sheet

1:13:10containing four leads with a bunch of

1:13:12information here. So, we're going to

1:13:12feed in this information to AI. Then,

1:13:14what we're going to do is we're going to

1:13:15have AI generate a subject line for an

1:13:18email, an icebreaker for an email, an

1:13:19elevator pitch for an email, a call to

1:13:21action, and then a post script, little

1:13:23PS sign. The idea here is this is a real

1:13:26workflow that people pay me for. And so,

1:13:27these are the ones that I want to I want

1:13:29to start with. Essentially, this will

1:13:30allow you to customize email outreach

1:13:32that it seems as if you've done a lot of

1:13:33research into the person. Uh, which is

1:13:35very very valuable in a business

1:13:36setting. The second workflow is a little

1:13:39bit more peculiar, I guess. There's this

1:13:41service out there called source of

1:13:42sources. It used to be called helper

1:13:43reporter at Haro. Basically, the way

1:13:45that it works is this lovely gentleman

1:13:47here, Peter, will send you uh a bunch of

1:13:49information basically where journalists

1:13:51are looking for professionals in a

1:13:54certain industry to weigh in on some

1:13:57developments and then if you're a

1:13:59professional in the industry and you

1:14:00give the journalist some good info, they

1:14:02can actually tag you and then like use

1:14:03you in an article. It's quick and easy

1:14:05way to basically get listed in a

1:14:06magazine or some very authoritative data

1:14:08source. And what this system does is it

1:14:10basically gets an email like this. Then

1:14:12it pumps in the titles into AI, does

1:14:15some cool processing, and then we

1:14:16actually write a draft of that email as

1:14:18if we were an expert in that field,

1:14:20which all you need to do is just like

1:14:21quickly review, give a once over, edit a

1:14:23little bit, and then send off to

1:14:24journalists. There's another system that

1:14:25I've sold a number of times. And so I

1:14:27want the videos that I create on NAD to

1:14:29be practical in nature. I want them to

1:14:30be on things that you're probably going

1:14:32to be using for business purposes. So

1:14:33these are the two systems that uh we're

1:14:34going to be building. They're cool

1:14:35systems and all, but you know, for the

1:14:37purpose of this video, I kind of want to

1:14:38build them from scratch. So, why don't

1:14:39we just exit out of that puppy? That's

1:14:41the prompt that we're going to be using

1:14:42for AI. And for the rest of this, we'll

1:14:44just get rid of that. Okay. The very

1:14:46first concept I want to cover are fixed

1:14:48fields and expression fields. I'm going

1:14:50to be basically convincing you to just

1:14:51use expressions all the time. And I'm

1:14:52also going to show you how to map

1:14:53different field inputs cuz the last time

1:14:55that we jumped around Nadn, we built a

1:14:57couple of workflows, but I was sort of

1:14:59glancing over a couple of the um like

1:15:00some of the nuance behind fields and

1:15:02stuff like that. So, for the purposes of

1:15:03demonstration, it's going to be pretty

1:15:04easy. We're just going to build the

1:15:06first system out by clicking a button

1:15:08that is going to get a bunch of data

1:15:11from our Google sheet, and then we're

1:15:12just going to pass all of that data in

1:15:14kind of rowby row into AI. Pretty

1:15:16simple, pretty straightforward, but

1:15:17ultimately something that is very useful

1:15:18and you'll find yourself doing quite a

1:15:20bit if you do cold outreach. So, first

1:15:22things first, I'm just going to press

1:15:23tab. That's going to open up this

1:15:24trigger thing on the lefth hand side.

1:15:26And then, you know, if you type trigger

1:15:27here, there'll be if you type trig, I

1:15:29should say, you'll see a ton of options

1:15:31here. Um, you could either do that or

1:15:32you could just scroll down to the bottom

1:15:33where it says add another trigger and

1:15:34then press trigger manually. Either is

1:15:36fine, but for the purposes of demo, I'm

1:15:38just going to do that. And basically

1:15:40what I want to do is the second that I

1:15:42run this trigger when I click on test

1:15:43workflow, um, I want to uh, get all of

1:15:46the rows and all the data in my Google

1:15:48sheet. So, I'm going to go up here to

1:15:49nodes. I'm just going to type in sheet.

1:15:50We're going to get Google Sheets. Now,

1:15:52what I'm going to do is if you scroll

1:15:54down here, you'll see that there's this

1:15:55one node called get rows and sheets.

1:15:58That's what I'm going to click on. Now,

1:15:59I've already done a connection before.

1:16:01Um, what you're going to have to do if

1:16:02you want to connect to your Google

1:16:03Sheets account is go to create new

1:16:05connection. Now, because I'm on the

1:16:06cloud hosted offering, and keep in mind

1:16:08if you're not on the cloud hosted

1:16:09offering, um, these sorts of connections

1:16:10are a little bit more difficult. You

1:16:12have to go to Google Cloud Console and

1:16:13get set up there. But because I'm on the

1:16:15cloud hosted offering, all I need to do

1:16:16is click sign in with Google over here,

1:16:18and I'll actually go connect to my email

1:16:21account, and then it'll create a

1:16:22credential for me, which is pretty

1:16:23handy. So you can see it's saying it's

1:16:26already has some access just because

1:16:27I've already done this connection. But

1:16:28for the purpose of this demo, I just

1:16:29wanted to show you guys what that looks

1:16:31like. And then I'm just going to save

1:16:33this connection here with a name so that

1:16:34it's just nice and organized. Okay. And

1:16:36what we want to do is we just want to

1:16:37grab this Google sheet up here. Right?

1:16:39So in NAN there are variety of ways to

1:16:42do this, but I'm just going to I'm going

1:16:44to be looking for a document. Sorry, a

1:16:46sheet within a document. My bad. The

1:16:48document we're going to want to select

1:16:49is from the list. And we're actually

1:16:50going to go down. We're going to choose

1:16:52this one called leads, comma, space,

1:16:54January 27th, 2025. So, as you can see,

1:16:57we have already manually found that.

1:16:59Okay. And then the specific subshet that

1:17:02we want is this sheet one because I

1:17:04guess that's the only one that we have

1:17:05here. So, I'm just going to click on

1:17:07this. It's going to actually do an API

1:17:08call to Google Sheets. It's going to

1:17:10find that there's only sheet one here.

1:17:11Then I can give it a click and then

1:17:13voila. Let me just run test step and

1:17:15let's see what happens when I click

1:17:17test. Okay, great. So, I've offiscated

1:17:19this data. This data is not um actually

1:17:21one for one whoever this this person is.

1:17:23I've gone through and I've like renamed

1:17:25them and stuff like that just for

1:17:26privacy purposes. But as we see on the

1:17:28right hand side here, we we have a bunch

1:17:29of output and we can see the output in a

1:17:31variety of ways. Tabular JSON schema.

1:17:34Most people and they like the schema

1:17:36look because it just kind of compresses

1:17:37the information nicely. It's a little

1:17:39bit easier for them to see. I'm a little

1:17:40zoomed in here too. Um but uh yeah, you

1:17:43know, normally like you see most of the

1:17:45node variables which is pretty handy.

1:17:48But this JSON one over here, this is

1:17:50really intimidating for a lot of people.

1:17:51And so we're we're going to cover this

1:17:52in detail. I'm going to show you exactly

1:17:53how you read JSON, what all those things

1:17:55mean. But just I just want you guys to

1:17:56know that for the remainder of this

1:17:58course, I'm going to be using primarily

1:17:59the JSON and the schema view. But I'm

1:18:01actually going to tend towards JSON. And

1:18:02the reason why I'm going to be tending

1:18:03towards JSON is because like JSON says

1:18:06all the same stuff that the schema view

1:18:08does anyway. But unfortunately, part of

1:18:10the way you learn JSON is just by kind

1:18:11of staring at it a lot and squinting at

1:18:13it and kind of inherently and

1:18:14intuitively understanding the

1:18:15formatting. If we're going to be looking

1:18:16at outputs all day anyway, we might as

1:18:18well kind of get, you know, kill two

1:18:19birds with one stone. All of the same

1:18:21data in JSON is represented in schema

1:18:23anyway, it's just instead of like the

1:18:25quotes around key names and stuff, you

1:18:26just have sort of this light gray box

1:18:28alongside like a type sign here. So, I

1:18:31guess the point I'm making is we might

1:18:32as well double up and just learn how

1:18:33JSON looks while we're proceeding with

1:18:35the course. Um, and that's why I'm going

1:18:36to be using this. Even if it looks a

1:18:37little bit more intimidating, don't

1:18:38worry too much about it. Okay, so I said

1:18:39that I'd talk about fields, right? So

1:18:41fields in N&M just as I was covering on

1:18:43the previous video are stuff like this

1:18:46right we have this sort of center node

1:18:48config option here for our Google sheets

1:18:50node um you know one of the fields we

1:18:52selected was this YouTube credential to

1:18:55connect with another one was this

1:18:56resource sheet within document operation

1:18:59document sheet but I want you to know

1:19:00that these are actually all

1:19:02representable in code as well so as you

1:19:06see over here we have two different

1:19:07types of fields one's called fixed and

1:19:09the other is called expression

1:19:11So, by default, just to keep your life

1:19:13easy and to not like freak you the hell

1:19:15out, especially if you're like a newbie

1:19:16in NN, um they're going to keep all the

1:19:18fields to the fixed type. But if you

1:19:20click on

1:19:21expression, you'll see that things are

1:19:23now a little bit different. Notice how

1:19:26when I went to fixed, we had like a nice

1:19:29little, you know, it said um leads

1:19:30January 27, 2025. And then when I jump

1:19:32over to expression, now we have some big

1:19:34long ID. So, what is this? Why is it

1:19:37structured that way? And what exactly

1:19:39does any of this mean? Well, if we pay

1:19:41close attention, this ID field here, 1

1:19:44lowerase o t r r r r r r r r r r r r r r

1:19:46r r r r r r r a t4 C capital C and then

1:19:48the rest of this big long ID string over

1:19:50here. If we go to our Google sheet, what

1:19:53you'll see is that that ID string

1:19:55actually matches the URL of our Google

1:19:56sheet

1:19:57exactly. This takes me to a wider point.

1:20:00Most of the time, sorry about that. Most

1:20:02of the time, anytime you're accessing a

1:20:03resource on some API or even just on the

1:20:06internet, they will store the ID of the

1:20:08resource, which is sort of like a hidden

1:20:10representation of it, in the URL. So,

1:20:14you know, one of the examples that I

1:20:15provided the other day was I went over

1:20:16to ClickUp, right? And inside of

1:20:19ClickUp, I like searched around for some

1:20:21record. I'm just going to click on this

1:20:22here. This is this was my old content

1:20:23calendar. Um, how to send 1,000 cold

1:20:26Instagram DMs per day. That was one of

1:20:27the things I wanted to do. This right up

1:20:29here is the ID of the record.

1:20:3386B27A7Zm, right? If I wanted to do

1:20:36something with this through their API,

1:20:37this is the ID of the record that I

1:20:39would be calling. So, I want you to know

1:20:41that like ClickUp, uh, Monday, uh, like

1:20:43even Gmail, basically every service out

1:20:45there, they will store the ID of the

1:20:47thing you want to modify or update or

1:20:49whatever just in the URL. So if ever a

1:20:52field asks for an ID, you can almost

1:20:54always just go to the URL of the thing

1:20:56on the actual user um you know on the

1:20:58actual app like the user interface. Then

1:21:00you can find that URL thing. You just

1:21:02hardcode it in here. Okay. So that's

1:21:04just a just a brief look at some of the

1:21:06differences between fixed and

1:21:08expression. Basically fix a lot of the

1:21:09time just to to keep you guys um to make

1:21:12sure that like we're on the same page

1:21:13here. Fix is just the simpler version.

1:21:16Then expression is sort of what's

1:21:17actually going on under the hood. So,

1:21:19you know, um, NAND just defaults to fix

1:21:21like it just did here because it doesn't

1:21:24really want to scare you away. But in

1:21:25order to really unlock the value of NAN,

1:21:28we have to go to the expression, um,

1:21:30field. And I'm going to show you here

1:21:31why, you know, I basically just use

1:21:32expression for everything at this point.

1:21:35Okay. So, looking at the output here,

1:21:37what we have is we have we clicked and

1:21:39then we got a click event that was

1:21:40counted as one item. And so, N8 actually

1:21:42shows you the number of items that are

1:21:44passed on. Then we pumped that click

1:21:46event into Google Sheets and then that

1:21:48click event outputed four items. So now

1:21:49we actually we're working off of array

1:21:51data or tabular data which I'll cover um

1:21:53in a moment. But essentially with these

1:21:56four items now what we want to do is we

1:21:57want to pass each of these items into

1:21:59artificial intelligence and we want to

1:22:00have AI tell us something about it

1:22:02before um writing some cold email copy

1:22:05for us to insert into an email or maybe

1:22:06we could just send a Gmail directly or

1:22:08something. So what I'm going to do is

1:22:09I'm going to click on this button. I

1:22:11zoom out a little bit. What we want is

1:22:13we want um if you go down advanced AI,

1:22:16we want is we want this open AI node.

1:22:18And specifically what I want is I want

1:22:20the message a model. So if you've seen

1:22:22me connect this in the previous video,

1:22:24you'll notice that you know in order to

1:22:25create a new credential, you actually

1:22:26have to go and you have to find the API

1:22:28key from OpenAI in order to do this.

1:22:30This is pretty simple to do. You just

1:22:31type

1:22:33platform.openai.com/ I think it's like

1:22:35account/appi or something. You'll have

1:22:36to click on this button here to open the

1:22:38documentation to tell you more. But

1:22:40anyway, you can basically just create an

1:22:42API key for N8N. Um, it's very simple

1:22:44and very straightforward to do so. And

1:22:45I've already done this and I've called

1:22:47it YouTube. So, I'm just going to use

1:22:48that credential just so I don't have to

1:22:50like leak another API key. Now, again,

1:22:52we have a ton we have a ton of fields.

1:22:54We have resource text operation message

1:22:56model from list choose. Keep in mind the

1:22:59fields are again fixed, right? It's

1:23:01trying to make it really easy for us to

1:23:02select GPT40. So, I'm just going to go

1:23:04down here, type

1:23:06GPT four, and then I'm just going to

1:23:09click 40 O. And now we actually enter in
