Lesson 1: Anatomy of a Workflow

What This Workflow Looks Like On Your Screen

In Make, you'd see: 1. A schedule trigger at the top (gray box with a clock icon) 2. An HTTP module below it (teal box with an arrow icon) 3. A text formatter below that (another colored box) 4. An email module at the bottom 5. Lines connecting each box, showing data flow from top to bottom

The canvas is clean. You can see the whole workflow at a glance.

In n8n, the layout is similar: 1. Cron trigger on the left 2. HTTP Request node to its right 3. Text formatter node below 4. Gmail node on the right 5. Connection lines showing which node output feeds into the next

You can click any node to see its configuration, and you can right-click the connection lines to see what data is flowing through them.
