Workflows with n8n, Make, and GitHub Actions
Make or n8n
Choose Make or n8n by where data may live and who will operate the server. Keep both if one team has SaaS chores and another has internal systems.
Your first n8n workflow
Build one n8n workflow for a repeated task: a trigger, a fetch, a single decision, a write, and an alert when it fails. Skip anything you cannot redo by hand.
GitHub Actions that fail loudly
A scheduled workflow is only useful if you hear about failures. Cover triggers, secrets, retries, alerts, and a small template you can copy into a repo.
