n8n Basic Getting Started Workflow: Interval, Function & Set
Introductory n8n workflow demonstrating the canvas basics: triggers every 2 hours, sets custom variables with Function node, and outputs data via Set node.
This beginner-friendly n8n workflow serves as a perfect starting point for users new to the platform. It features a simple chain: an Interval node triggers execution every 2 hours, followed by a FunctionItem node that adds custom JavaScript variables (a number and a string) to the item data. The workflow concludes with a Set node that extracts and outputs only the string variable, keeping the payload clean.
Ideal for learning n8n fundamentals like node connections, positioning on the canvas, cu
