There are two ways in which Nw10 has real wow factor.
One of them is the way that AI and a genetic AI is weaved throughout the product, so that it is so
easy to make AI agents.
The other way is the way it handles integrations.
Integrations historically have been some of the most challenging, the hardest parts of building systems,
hooking them up to others, talking the same language.
This.
This is where the really hard stuff happens.
Except.
And it's n makes it so simple.
In fact, more than simple and it makes it magical.
And today is our first day of integrations.
It's a yellow day.
Welcome to week one.
Day three first integrations day.
Let's do this.
And here we are in the middle of week one.
The first yellow day.
The integrations day.
We're gonna have it in two parts.
First of all integrating with documents with spreadsheets things like that.
And then the second half it's going to be all about email and the tech people on this wall.
You'll know how hard this kind of thing is and you're going to be blown away.
The business people on here, you probably always thought, why do technology people tell me that it's
so hard to integrate?
And you're going to think that even more after today because it's going to be a cinch.
First up, though, you know, I like to do some recaps.
Some repetition is always good.
I want to remind you about these three levels of hierarchy that as we approach and cloud in particular,
there is the cloud deployment itself.
You can log in and look at your account level details.
Within that you can see one particular instance that's running.
And that instance is composed of multiple workflows, each workflow representing a business process.
So the cloud there's like the dashboard or the admin panel where we see everything and the instance
has like a like a home screen also called the overview an individual workflow.
Remember we brought up the editor which mostly is a canvas.
And this is where we will spend most of our time today.
And the other thing to recap is some of the terminology.
You'll remember all this a node which is like a step in your business process.
And then it can be a trigger if it's the very first thing.
If it's something that like kicks off a workflow, it might be you'll see later we'll have scheduled
triggers that sort of kick off maybe once a day, or you can have them based on an event, like someone
writing a chat message or an action is a is a node that represents something happening.
A connection is is the thing that links to different nodes, takes the output from one node, puts it
into the input of another node.
A workflow is, of course, a set of nodes connected together in order to automate a business process.
That's what this whole thing is about.
Execution is what we call our run of the workflow.
It can be done manually.
If you're in testing, you just press a button and you run the workflow, or you can activate you can,
you can turn a workflow to be active, and then you're in production and it is live.
And then templates.
We didn't look too much at that, but this is sort of pre-built workflows that you could use to start
your own project.
We'll be typically building from scratch, but you can also look at the ones that are in there and get
inspiration from them, or use them, as I say, as a starting point.
All right.
That's the terminology.
And then one more slide that is also like a recap.
It'll be like it's like one of those movies where they have like the same scene again and again.
Uh, so uh, but I have changed this one a little bit.
Uh, I just want to point out a few things about integrations.
So much of what we're going to be doing in the next few weeks is integrations.
And so you're gonna have to get a thick skin to these things.
There's a few things about them that you need to to know upfront.
First up, you are in control of integrations.
You don't need to do exactly what I do.
You need to check what you're doing.
Many of them are free.
Some of them do have either a like a free tier and then there's a paid amount.
But you're always in control.
You need to check what you're doing, make sure you're satisfied that you want to do that integration.
And and on that front I'm going to pick a set of integrations, but there are so many to choose from,
you can do exactly what I do and follow my script entirely, or you can choose to go off and do something
slightly different.
The the marvellous thing about Nw10 is the breadth of different integrations it's got, and how you
can just try something different.
I integrate with slack.
You could post messages to telegram, you can do whatever you want, take it as you wish.
So.
So don't feel like you have to stick to my script.
Take it as an opportunity to explore.
Get the general idea for how I do things, like how I authenticate, how I get credentials, what are
API keys, all that kind of stuff, and then take it in the direction you want.
And then I need to to point out that integrations can be tiresome, they can be slippery.
You can have all sorts of trouble if you paste an API key into a notebook.
As I think I've told you this ten times, sometimes it will mess it up and change hyphens into long
hyphens and then you paste it in.
It suddenly doesn't work and you're like, why isn't it working?
What's wrong with these instructions?
And, you know, it takes thick skin and it takes patience.
It takes clicking on the link where it tells you the documents, the documentation, and reading through
it.
Try it again.
Create another key.
Eventually it will work.
The thing is that when these these nasty things happen, there is usually a simple explanation.
At the end of it, you have to hammer away at it until you get there.
If you can't, of course, I'm always available.
As I said, I come with the package.
You can always message me and I'll always try and help, but sometimes it just takes a thick skin.
Bashing away at it until you figure out why the integration isn't working.
And then I again, I want to point out that every integration I do is optional.
Most of them have free tiers.
There might be a couple that will do at some point that are paid APIs, in which case you could just
skip them.
It just go with what you want to do.
Nothing is mandatory.
It is in your court all the way through this.
And on that note, the first set of integrations we're going to do is with Google Drive.
We're going to link up to like, Google Docs, Google Sheets and show how how you can work with them.
And maybe you don't have that.
Maybe you're one of the like, like tiny fraction of people on this planet that doesn't have Gmail,
in which case I do understand.
It might be a bit galling for me to say this, but I would probably recommend that you do set up like,
like Gmail and have Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets.
It's free, uh, unless you're on a business plan, in which case it's a small amount, relatively small
amount given all the functionality, and we will be using it pretty heavily.
So I was going to break the rule I've got here.
Of all the things, I would probably suggest that you at least set that up if you haven't already,
because it's so streamlined and it's so friction free to set up these things with, with a Google account.
So that might be the one exception.
The one thing that I would stretch to asking you to have, if you don't have it already, and if you
do have it already, then you're in excellent shape.
You are ready to begin with our lab.
Let's go to Nate N right now.
