In this beginner-friendly n8n tutorial, learn how to build a smart, decision-making workflow using three core nodes: Manual Trigger, Edit Fields (Set), and the IF Node!
We’ll walk step-by-step through setting up mock student exam data and routing it through conditional logic. Plus, we cover the two biggest pitfalls that trip up every beginner: case sensitivity in expressions and boundary checks in comparison operators.
📌 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
0:00 – Introduction & Workflow Overview
0:15 – Setting Up Manual Trigger & Edit Fields (Set) Node
0:40 – Configuring the IF Node & Understanding Decision Logic
1:05 – Common Mistakes: Case Sensitivity & "Greater Than or Equal To"
1:30 – Testing True vs. False Branches & Final Wrap-Up
🔧 KEY NODES COVERED:
– Manual Trigger: Starts your workflow on demand.
– Edit Fields (Set): Creates and structures dynamic input JSON data.
– IF Node: Evaluates dynamic variables and branches your pipeline into True/False outputs.
