Business Automation with n8n
Like Duolingo, but for Business Automation with n8n. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
21 levels across 3 sections, about 42 minutes end to end, roughly 8 days at five minutes a day. It moves through The Architect's Logic, AI Orchestration, and The CEO Consultant Case Study. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in Business Automation with n8n
- Nodes in n8n are functional units that can add, remove, or rename fields in the JSON object
- n8n treats every piece of data as a key-value pair within a JSON object
- The output of a node is a new state of the data, not just a copy of the input
- Granular control means you can reference specific nested keys using expressions
- Branching allows n8n to follow different paths based on data conditions
- The Merge node combines data from two separate paths before continuing the workflow
- Nodes modify data structure rather than just relaying it
- The Execution Tab stores a snapshot of the JSON data for every node in a run
- Identifying how branching and merging handle complex business logic
- Debugging involves clicking a specific node in the history to see its input and output
- Mapping JSON structure to n8n's granular data handling
- Using execution data to debug specific points in a workflow
- The Wait node offloads the workflow to the database, allowing it to resume days later
- Wait nodes turn simple automations into persistent business processes like drip campaigns
- OAuth 2.0 allows n8n to access specific data without the client sharing their main password
- API keys provide permanent access and are harder for non-technical clients to manage safely
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Business Automation with n8n the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
