WEBVTT 00:00.040 --> 00:01.080 Welcome back guys. 00:01.240 --> 00:03.560 In the last episode, we explored N810. 00:03.800 --> 00:08.720 What it is, how it works, and why it's such a game changer for automation. 00:09.200 --> 00:15.960 Today we are going one level deeper into the most important building blocks of any automation in N810. 00:16.520 --> 00:17.120 Notes. 00:17.760 --> 00:18.880 So what are notes? 00:19.240 --> 00:24.920 Simply put, notes are the core components of every automation workflow in N810. 00:25.520 --> 00:27.360 Think of them as building blocks. 00:28.680 --> 00:36.800 Each node performs a specific task, and when you connect multiple nodes together, you create a workflow. 00:38.640 --> 00:45.320 Now, before jumping into N810, let's understand the difference between nodes, workflow and executions. 00:53.160 --> 01:00.750 Now that you understand the difference between workflows, nodes, and executions, Let's actually jump 01:00.750 --> 01:03.190 into an A-10 and take a look around. 01:03.310 --> 01:05.430 So this is where everything will start to click. 01:05.670 --> 01:11.310 You will see exactly how to build automations using a drag and drop interface. 01:11.790 --> 01:19.110 So we'll also explore how to access community resources, templates, and helpful tools that make automation 01:19.110 --> 01:19.870 even easier. 01:20.590 --> 01:24.390 If you are new to automation tools at all, don't worry. 01:24.710 --> 01:27.870 Enlightened is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. 01:28.190 --> 01:33.270 Even if you have never used never used uh, and built workflow before. 01:36.510 --> 01:44.790 So if you don't have an A-10 account, use the link from the resource section, which is an A-10 dot 01:44.830 --> 01:45.390 partner. 01:45.390 --> 01:48.830 links.io/adaptive AI. 01:49.870 --> 01:53.590 You will get a 15 day free to use and A-10. 01:54.470 --> 01:56.270 These links give me a small kickback. 01:56.270 --> 01:57.710 So thank you for your support. 01:57.710 --> 01:57.820 fourth. 02:01.140 --> 02:03.420 Sign up by clicking on Get Started. 02:07.820 --> 02:13.340 Fill in your full name, email, password and a unique username. 02:15.420 --> 02:17.140 Then click on try for free. 02:23.540 --> 02:25.020 Now answer these questions. 02:42.700 --> 02:45.940 Skip this step and start automating. 02:51.100 --> 02:53.660 Now this is our dashboard. 02:54.500 --> 02:56.620 So click on start from scratch. 03:01.460 --> 03:04.500 Now, if you prefer dark mode, go to settings. 03:04.500 --> 03:05.460 In the left menu. 03:06.220 --> 03:07.660 Click on these three dots. 03:09.340 --> 03:10.500 Click on settings. 03:11.580 --> 03:12.460 Scroll down. 03:14.820 --> 03:18.020 Switch to the dark theme and hit save. 03:20.980 --> 03:21.620 Great. 03:21.900 --> 03:24.100 Now let's go back to our main dashboard. 03:27.060 --> 03:32.540 Next, I strongly recommend changing your time zone so the times are correct for all tasks. 03:32.820 --> 03:34.820 First you need to save your workflow. 03:36.180 --> 03:38.020 Then click on this three dots. 03:40.100 --> 03:43.660 Settings and choose your time zone. 03:44.660 --> 03:45.380 Hit save. 03:50.780 --> 03:52.740 So this is your N810 canvas. 03:53.780 --> 03:56.770 Let's go on the N810 home page. 03:59.970 --> 04:02.970 So here you will see all your workflows and projects. 04:03.410 --> 04:07.010 And if you have already created workflows, they will appear here. 04:07.130 --> 04:09.570 If not, this page will be empty for now. 04:10.050 --> 04:15.250 On the left hand side you will notice a navigation menu with several key sections. 04:16.130 --> 04:18.930 So you will see workflows projects. 04:19.050 --> 04:23.130 So under each project you should see a workflow. 04:23.770 --> 04:31.690 When I add here a new project I name it demo and hit save. 04:33.530 --> 04:38.650 Now I can create separate workflows within this project. 04:40.930 --> 04:42.210 So start from scratch. 04:49.690 --> 04:50.210 Save. 04:52.450 --> 04:54.560 And now I have two separate projects. 04:59.040 --> 05:01.600 Now here you can see executions. 05:01.920 --> 05:05.280 So you can track the history of past workflow runs. 05:05.720 --> 05:10.360 So you can check for any errors and see how your automations are performing. 05:11.240 --> 05:12.760 Here you can see templates. 05:12.920 --> 05:19.320 So Naa10 provides a collection of pre-built workflows that you can use as a starting point. 05:20.040 --> 05:24.120 So these are great if you are looking for inspiration or need a quick solution. 05:27.760 --> 05:31.080 Now let's go back to our dashboard and. 05:33.160 --> 05:34.600 Admin panel settings. 05:34.720 --> 05:41.360 This is where you can adjust preferences like manage team access and configure other settings. 05:47.640 --> 05:51.800 On the help you can see a documentation. 05:52.200 --> 05:59.350 So if you ever get stuck, this is your go to section for troubleshooting, official guides, and community 05:59.390 --> 05:59.950 support. 06:11.630 --> 06:12.550 In general. 06:12.590 --> 06:16.270 N810 documentation is brilliant, so I recommend you to check it out. 06:18.590 --> 06:21.670 Now let's start by creating your first workflow. 06:22.550 --> 06:27.630 So to create a new workflow click on Create Workflow. 06:29.590 --> 06:33.190 So you can see how the drag and drop system works in action. 06:36.830 --> 06:42.790 Now we set up a blank canvas which is where you will build and design your automation workflows. 06:43.470 --> 06:46.670 Right away, N810 prompts you to add a trigger. 06:47.310 --> 06:50.750 So this is the starting point of every automation. 06:51.380 --> 06:54.500 So triggers determine when a workflow should run. 06:54.900 --> 07:01.540 You will see different types of triggers, including manual trigger. 07:01.940 --> 07:08.060 So you start the automation manually by clicking a button on app event. 07:08.060 --> 07:10.260 So app specific triggers. 07:12.780 --> 07:20.460 This fire when a certain event happens inside an app, for example, receiving an email and you add 07:20.460 --> 07:23.740 it to a Google sheet a message sent on slack. 07:26.700 --> 07:27.700 Schedule trigger. 07:28.340 --> 07:33.060 So the workflow runs when it receives data from another app or service. 07:37.780 --> 07:38.300 Trigger. 07:38.300 --> 07:49.180 So the workflow runs at specific time intervals like every day, every minute, etc. and webhook trigger. 07:49.180 --> 07:53.580 So the workflow runs when it receives data from another app or service. 07:55.100 --> 08:01.500 So for now, let's select the manual trigger just so you can see how the workflow runs step by step. 08:06.660 --> 08:07.780 Now we have a trigger. 08:07.780 --> 08:10.940 Let's add more nodes to perform actions. 08:11.380 --> 08:14.100 So there are two ways to add nodes in N810. 08:14.700 --> 08:20.340 You can click the plus button on the canvas and choose a node. 08:22.940 --> 08:31.460 Or you can click the nodes panel at the top right corner and search for the app or function you need. 08:34.580 --> 08:40.500 For example, let's say we want to send an email whenever our workflow runs so we can click on this 08:40.500 --> 08:43.500 plus button and search for Gmail. 08:49.570 --> 08:58.450 As you can see here, there is a long list of apps you can use already integrated in a N810. 09:01.450 --> 09:02.610 So click on Gmail. 09:05.450 --> 09:08.010 And now we have to select an action. 09:08.450 --> 09:10.210 So we want to send an email. 09:11.570 --> 09:12.690 So send a message. 09:17.010 --> 09:19.090 Each note represents a specific task. 09:19.330 --> 09:26.490 And connecting notes together determines how the workflow flows from start to finish. 09:28.730 --> 09:32.650 Now you can open any of the notes by double click. 09:33.490 --> 09:39.970 So you can set up a specific operation like send an email, delete email, get many emails. 09:41.850 --> 09:47.400 You can also specify the subject the message body. 09:49.160 --> 09:54.360 Now, this is a very important step for every app or service you want to connect to. 09:54.840 --> 09:56.840 You have to provide credentials. 09:57.240 --> 10:01.520 So you need to provide API keys to connect to the app. 10:02.160 --> 10:07.320 So by clicking on this dropdown you can create new credentials. 10:09.280 --> 10:15.480 If you are using a cloud service for this particular app. 10:16.000 --> 10:21.600 So Google apps like Gmail you can just simply sign in and you are connected. 10:22.160 --> 10:29.280 But if you are self-hosted n810, you need to get API key from your Google account and paste it here 10:29.560 --> 10:30.680 to make a connection. 10:34.960 --> 10:37.560 This is self-hosted version of N810. 10:38.120 --> 10:41.400 And the dashboard looks slightly different. 10:42.120 --> 10:47.150 So when I click on this Gmail node to send an email Later as an action. 10:49.310 --> 10:53.990 You can see I have to provide credentials to connect to my Gmail account. 10:54.550 --> 10:59.550 And when I click on this drop down, I want to create a new credential. 11:00.430 --> 11:04.990 I have to provide client ID and client secret. 11:07.510 --> 11:12.590 So the cloud version of N810 makes it really simple to connect to many apps. 11:14.070 --> 11:15.310 Let's close it for now. 11:24.030 --> 11:29.550 So in every action node you can define input and output data. 11:30.430 --> 11:37.070 A really cool feature of N810 is that you can test each node individually. 11:37.390 --> 11:44.390 So instead of running the entire workflow and hoping it works, you can execute nodes one by one to 11:44.500 --> 11:47.340 see if they are doing what you expect. 11:47.860 --> 11:53.820 So to do this, you just need to click on a node and hit Test step. 11:54.300 --> 11:59.260 So you will see real time data coming in and out of that step. 11:59.380 --> 12:04.460 So this makes it super easy to debug and troubleshoot your automations. 12:04.980 --> 12:07.300 So if a node is not connected properly. 12:07.620 --> 12:16.860 And I will show you an error message like write me up or your Gmail account is not connected. 12:17.180 --> 12:21.140 Reminding you that the node needs input data from another step. 12:22.140 --> 12:29.860 As I said, since N810 connects with hundreds of apps, you will need to set up credentials to authenticate 12:29.860 --> 12:34.980 services like Gmail, slack, Google Sheets, WhatsApp, telegram, etc.. 12:35.380 --> 12:40.460 So just for a quick demonstration, let's add WhatsApp node. 12:45.180 --> 12:53.500 As you can see, both of them require you to provide some kind of credentials like API keys or for two 12:53.540 --> 12:56.860 authentication login details. 12:57.580 --> 13:02.660 So you can connect to your accounts of these apps. 13:06.860 --> 13:10.740 Now in the cloud version, when you go to overview. 13:13.540 --> 13:19.900 And click on credentials, you can easily manage access to different services. 13:20.540 --> 13:26.220 So you can reuse credentials across multiple workflows without setting them up repeatedly. 13:26.820 --> 13:33.380 So once a credential is saved, you can quickly attach it to any node that requires authentication. 13:34.340 --> 13:40.980 If you ever get stuck, N810 has fantastic documentation and an active support community. 13:41.850 --> 13:48.650 So just simply click on help and you will find the step by step guides for every feature. 13:49.210 --> 13:57.010 Like a lot of different resources such as code snippets and examples for more advanced use cases. 13:57.450 --> 14:06.610 There is also an official N810 forum where you can ask questions, see how others are building workflows, 14:06.610 --> 14:08.850 and find solutions to common issues. 14:10.530 --> 14:17.410 Today, we have covered how to navigate the N810 interface, how to create a new workflow and add a 14:17.410 --> 14:25.370 trigger, how to connect nodes and set up credentials, and where to find community templates and resources. 14:27.330 --> 14:33.010 In the next session, we will take a deep dive into different types of nodes so you can understand how 14:33.010 --> 14:37.410 they work and how to use them effectively in your automations. 14:37.930 --> 14:40.410 Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next episode. 14:40.450 --> 14:40.930 Bye bye.
