In this beginner-friendly tutorial, I’ll show you how to build your first automation app using n8n — a powerful open-source workflow automation tool. We’ll use a Google Form as input, capture the response in a Google Sheet, and use n8n to send an automated email to the user who fills the form — no coding needed!

💡 Perfect for students, developers, or entrepreneurs who want to automate their workflows without writing a single line of code.
