TOC Modules

Concepts
  • Understanding workflow automation, triggers, actions, nodes, and workflow executions
  • Identifying n8n applications across IT support, administration, integrations, DevOps, and operations
  • Understanding manual technical processes versus event-driven automation
Practical activities
  • Exploring the n8n workflow canvas using a sample IT workflow
  • Building and running a simple Trigger → Action → Notification automation

Scenarios

Monitoring Alert to IT Response

Monitoring Alert → n8n → Event Validation → Priority Classification → IT Owner → Notification / Ticket → Human Investigation → Status Update

Participants explore how n8n can automate the repetitive coordination surrounding a technical alert while keeping diagnosis and production decisions with responsible IT professionals.

IT Service Request to Completion

User Request → Form / Service System → n8n → Validation → Request Type → Owner / Approval → Technical Action → User Notification

Participants design an automated service-request workflow that reduces manual routing and follow-up while preserving approval controls for sensitive technical actions.

*Relevant n8n capabilities reflected in this programme include workflow execution monitoring, conditional flow logic, Code, HTTP Request, Execute Command, Git, MCP, and Error Trigger functionality, alongside security-audit capabilities for identifying common instance risks.*
