How to do it?

  1. 01

    Start a cloud trial or self-host

    Sign up for an n8n Cloud free trial, or host n8n yourself and connect your own AI provider.

  2. 02

    Create a new workflow

    Describe the workflow to n8n Assistant so it builds it, or go to Personal > Create workflow and name it.

  3. 03

    Add a trigger

    Start with a trigger such as Schedule Trigger, for example set to run every morning at 8 AM.

  4. 04

    Add the nodes that do the work

    Chain nodes, such as an HTTP Request to fetch data and Edit Fields to build the text you need.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Run the workflow and confirm each node succeeds, then publish it so the schedule runs it.

  6. 06

    Check the saved output

    Open the place the workflow writes to, such as a data table, and confirm the new entry arrived.
