22 Articles in 26 Days: Session Data, Keywords, and What the Automation Actually Produces

case study · · Updated
Four weeks of build in public: 22 n8n tutorials published, 951 sessions, 38 ranked keywords, and 2 top-10 rankings — without a single external backlink. Here are the numbers, without spin.

n8n Switch node vs. chained IF nodes: how branching logic affects execution at scale

tutorial · · Updated
If your workflow routes items into more than three paths using chained IF nodes, the Switch node does the same with one evaluation per item instead of N. Here is the mechanical difference, when each wins, and the practical rule for choosing between them.

n8n IF Node: Adding Conditional Logic to Your Workflows

tutorial · · Updated
The IF node is how you branch in n8n. It evaluates a condition against each incoming item and routes it down one of two paths — true or false. Here is how to use it correctly across simple and complex scenarios.

n8n HTTP Request Node: Calling External APIs from Your Workflows

tutorial · · Updated
The HTTP Request node is the workhorse of n8n — it connects your workflows to any API that accepts HTTP calls. Here is how to configure it correctly, handle authentication, and deal with real-world API quirks.

n8n Webhook Node: Receive Data from External Services and Trigger Workflows

tutorial · · Updated
The Webhook node turns n8n into a receiver — any external service that can send an HTTP request can now trigger your workflows instantly. Here is how to set it up, secure it, and use it in production.

n8n Split in Batches Node: Processing Large Datasets Without Hitting Rate Limits

tutorial · · Updated
When you need to process thousands of records in n8n, feeding them all at once into an API or database crashes the workflow or triggers rate limits. The Split in Batches node is how you process large datasets reliably — here is how it actually works.

n8n Merge Node Modes Explained: Combine, Multiplex, and Pass-Through Under Partial Input

tutorial · · Updated
The n8n Merge node has four modes with subtle behavior differences that only surface with partial input, mismatched item counts, or timing gaps between branches. Here is what each mode actually does.

n8n Error Trigger: Workflow-Level Error Catching and When It Actually Fires

tutorial · · Updated
The n8n Error Trigger node is a workflow that runs when another workflow fails — but the when and why are full of edge cases. Here is how it actually works, what it misses, and how to build reliable error handling in production n8n.
