All right, so now it's the time to get into the action and get started with an addon.
So in this video we'll set up our account I will show you how to move around on the website.
And even we'll cover the basics so you will learn what's the difference between notes, workflows and
even executions.
And with all that being said, let's dive in.
First things first, let's talk about how to set up an account in na den and how to get access.
And it's a little tricky because actually we've got three different options.
The first one is to actually use an addon website, and here in the cloud setup our account and here
just use it.
It's the most common option here and we'll be using that also in this video.
The second one is to self-host it on our website, our server or you know actually the cloud.
And actually the third option is to use third party tools.
So platforms such as railway or even render and I need to mention actually about it later in the course.
However, for this kind of video we'll be using a cloud version in Naarden.
And here it's very important actually.
When you go over here, you click on this link and you've got 14 day free trial.
However, also I need to mention actually about the subscription because I need to say and then is very
affordable platform comparing to for example, Zapier make or any other, you know, automation platform.
Here we've got our starter plan Pro and enterprise.
So when we pay monthly, we actually pay for the €24.
And here like we've got 2.5 K.
So 1000 workflow workflow executions.
And it's really a lot.
And now actually let me show you the difference between workflows executions and notes.
So let's start with what is a note.
And think of that as a building block for our workflow automation.
So it's kind of actually the step that performs some specific task.
So let's say you've got step for the Google Sheets.
And here for an example.
You know actually I'm here.
It saves the data inside Google Sheets.
You've got the step.
So actually note for the Gmail.
So you send the email to your customer by Gmail.
So again actually you've got the note which is a block that we are using to build our workflows.
And workflow is a set actually the set of the notes.
So this is for example a workflow.
And this is a note.
So just this simple you know single block.
So it's very important because actually you can use and we'll be using different notes to build actually
our workflows.
And here from these notes you know like the entire agents automations um, you know are built.
It's very, very important.
And again I will cover everything in the course.
And what about executions?
Execution is a run of a workflow.
So whenever let's say actually you build this entire workflow and which is a set of the nodes.
So here and then you run it.
So you execute it, you run execution.
And that's why I'm actually let's go over back to our pricing.
It's very important with this plan which is monthly for €24 you get 2.5 K.
So 1000 workflow executions.
And now imagine actually because in some other applications let's say Zapier, we've got a for an example
here and the pricing for the specific task.
So task performed.
So let's say in in the workflow we have actually 20 different um here tasks.
So these are nodes.
And here you pay for each task separately for each node.
And in the terms of an addendum, however inside an ID you can have the entire like the project um,
entire agent.
And here you only pay for the workflow run.
So either it can have three nodes or even let's say 50, you know.
So it's very, very important.
And that's why, you know, it's very important to distinguish workflows nodes and again executions.
All right.
But now let's talk about how to set up an account in Naarden.
When you open the link that is again in the resources of this material, in the right top corner you
will have this button, which is sign in.
You need to click on that and afterwards you are here.
You need to click on start a free trial.
And here just provide some basic information.
So here your name you know just here your email like all of the data password account name.
So simply after I've done it I can click on Start free 14 day trial.
And right there we need to wait.
All right.
And here I will be asked a few questions.
So right here what team are you on.
You just need to click on something like choose your options.
You know it takes only a several seconds, right?
Let's say Google submit.
And here um, actually, you know, we can skip for now.
And right there our workspace is getting set up.
It's nice.
It takes approximately also a several seconds.
So we need to wait.
Hopefully um, it will be, um, sooner.
Yeah.
We can start automating.
We can click here.
And now by this way, we set up our account inside an addendum.
And now let's talk about the entire interface here.
So to begin with the most important um space inside our interface is projects.
So here in general, um, these are kind of folders where we can store our, um, you know, um, their
workflows.
So in general, we've got our personal.
However, when we click on this.
Plus we can create our very own, um, new and folder which is the project.
So for an example, let's name it as my company.
So either you can have the space for your personal, you know, workflows and for your company you can
click save.
And again after we do this and we've got our personal and our company, then what's very important.
And let's go over to our personal and folder.
And here we can create um actually our workflow.
Either we can click here to start from scratch or just create workflow.
Also here after you create, um, some projects, some workflows, there will appear, you know, these
workflows will appear here.
It's very, very important.
So for now I can click on start or even create workflow.
All right.
And here this is the entire space where it will work.
It's very intuitive.
And now let me explain you to move around inside our workflow.
And we click and hold our scroll button on our mouse.
So here you can just grab like this entire workflow and move around.
Also, if you would like to zoom in you need to click on control.
And again like scroll up here or zoom out.
You need to scroll out right there.
And the left bottom corner.
You've got also different options.
So let's say here you can zoom to fit so you can preview your entire here workflow.
All of the nodes you can zoom in.
So if you prefer you know actually to use that you can use it also there.
You can tidy up so you know clean everything up.
And here it's very important.
You can reset zoom.
So it works by this way in the left top corner we've got our name of the workflow.
So we can name it our first workflow.
You know you can name it.
You can add tag in general here.
You've got the editor, you know you've got the editor here.
You just provide some Am notes and you create the entire automation and also executions.
So as we said previously, actually, you know, this is the space executions are runs for our different,
you know, workflows.
So whenever you run your workflow these executions will be will be visible here later.
You will actually see how it works and how it looks like.
However, we've got editor and again executions in the right top corner.
You can enable this entire project.
So make it active and you can share it.
So for example here you know you can share it with others.
Here you've got information that it's saved.
Also there you can preview workflow workflow history.
You've got these three dots.
So you can duplicate download import from URL.
Also remember actually you can import your project inside your den.
So it's very important.
Also you've got settings and here you've got some basic data.
What's very important is to set up the specific time zone.
Um, actually, as a default, you should have your very own time zone.
However, it's worth to check it out.
Also, you've got something which is execution order error workflow.
Actually a lot of different, you know, other settings.
However, I prefer actually to set them as default.
So don't change anything here.
Um, because everything is kind of set up also next to the specific name for that specific bracket,
you've got this question mark.
Dot um explains like what's that?
What's that here.
Um, you know, so you can click right there, um, on each specific, um, different option.
Now let's click on save.
And here what's very important at the right top corner we've got this plus so we can open notes panel.
And there um by this way we'll be building our entire workflow with notes.
And now actually let me show you something.
First things first, we need to actually tell about something.
What's very important when when it comes to creating workflows, we've got trigger and nodes.
Um, actually we've got trigger and nodes.
So these are specific actions that happen, um, you know, in the entire automation and trigger.
And what is the trigger.
Think of that as the specific situation that indicates when the workflow should run.
So here we can have different triggers.
Let's say when we click on a button, um, here every day or even every week whenever someone submits
a form and an application, you know.
So here we've got different triggers as you can see trigger manually.
So whenever we click the button and, and and then um on up event.
So let's say whenever someone submits you know form and no form however fulfills information inside
Google Sheets.
So here you've got multiple different apps.
You can choose different triggers.
And you know, let's say when someone, you know sent for you, an email and Gmail.
This can be a trigger.
Then you actually start this entire workflow you've got on a schedule.
So every day, hour or you can, you know, customize it.
And on webhook on webhook call.
So here whenever you've got data from actually website and actually platform you connected to your entire
automation.
So here when you've got API call which is very very important.
So let's say you've got the webhook on the website that let's say publishes, you know, new articles
and whenever here the new article is published like this.
Automation triggers.
You've got a webhook call on form submission.
So whenever someone submits your form let's say you've got some form for your client.
Let's say name, email, um, you know, type of the service and so on.
Whenever someone submits that, it triggers when executed by another workflow.
So runs the flow when called by the execute workflow node from a different workflow.
So you know it works by this way.
We'll talk about it in the course on chat message.
So it's nice you know actually we can provide here a trigger.
So whenever it's good for chatbots you know agents.
So whenever we provide an A message we tell.
All right.
Please schedule for me a call with Mark.
Like, you know, schedule for me a meeting.
Um, here.
Um, yeah.
This is the trigger.
And we've got other different ways, however, and we'll talk about it in the course.
So these are different, you know, triggers.
And for now let me actually choose trigger manually.
So whenever I click here on Test Workflow.
And now when I click on this plus actually for now actually let me show you we can run this workflow.
However inside we've got nothing actually, you know nothing we have inside so nothing happens.
However, when we click here we can choose different, um, you know, different nodes.
So we've got I will talk talk about it later in the course about different nodes we have inside Neidan.
However, for now, let me do the following stuff.
I can pick some specific application.
So action in and up.
All right.
And now let me pick my Gmail.
All right.
I can pick my Gmail.
And here specify the following action.
So what we do whenever we click on this button we would like to send a message let's say to our client
all right.
When we click here we've got this entire window with the input output Gmail.
Um however for now um, actually let me show you that.
And we've got two different nodes.
So again click and Gmail.
Um, actually when I put my mouse on here, so on this specific node I can see I've got this, um,
you know like this button.
So it's very important.
You may have, for example, 15 different, um, you may, you may have 15 different nodes and you can
run only one step at once, so only test this step without, for example, other steps we have here.
Later in the course about it, you can actually hear and deactivate the specific node.
So specific step you can delete it or even you've got these three dots.
So here you can open test step rename deactivate and copy duplicate.
So you've got a bunch of options.
When you click twice on this you can set up specific you know circumstances so you can fulfill this
entire node.
Let's click here.
And we need to create new credential.
And what does it mean we need to connect um here our account with Gmail.
Because what we do we actually go ahead and we connect.
And then with some applications that afterwards, um, you know we can use.
So we build connections through API keys.
So API authentication, it's very important.
However what Nathan does in the cloud and it's very, very crucial we don't need to do this.
We can just simply click on sign in with Google and it will be automatically, you know, connected
with our account.
So now let's click on that.
Here I've got, you know, some account I can connect.
So this one for an example.
Um actually let me select all continue.
It's very important.
And now my account is connected.
You know actually I did that.
And here after I did it, I can go over there and I've got my Gmail account, you know, that I can
use.
Then what.
We have our resource.
So message label draft thread.
We would like to have the message.
And because obviously you know we can create draft.
We don't need to send an email.
We can create the label thread.
So that depends I would like to send the message operation I can send like change it.
Previously we we chose that.
And two I need to provide here an email subject email type and message.
And now what's very important in this video?
We won't be building our first ever automation here, our first ever workflow.
However, for now, actually let me show you something.
All right.
Because what we can do here, we can just fulfill the specific values.
Let me send an email to myself about some specific topic.
You know, like let's do this.
Provide a subject.
This is the test.
And here email type.
This is the text not email.
This is the text message.
This is uh this is the text message.
And what's very important, you will see that in the next videos.
Actually you can when you actually let me show you when you have multiple steps.
For example, let's say I had a step, um, actually the note with Google Sheets.
Then what I can do, let's say I've got Google Sheets here.
Actually, let me let me add it here, Google Sheets and let me actually show you.
So here, um, I've got up and row and sheet.
So here what I can do later inside.
Actually, Gmail, I can fit the Gmail step with the information from Google Sheets.
Let's see here.
Um, actually we add a new row.
All right.
We add a new row with information.
And afterwards this information I can use inside Gmail which is a variable.
It's very important.
It is a variable that changes every time whenever we have new information however about it about it.
Um, we'll talk in the next videos.
For now we've got everything set up.
So here subject um email type message email and here send action.
We can go over here delete for now this specific action and test the workflow.
After I do this I can see workflow executed successfully.
So now let's go over and check on email if I received anything.
As you can see right there I've got the test.
So here Test.
Um, this is the text message.
So this this email was sent automatically with Nadine.
It's also nice.
It worked.
So for now, in this video, we set up an account.
We covered the basics.
So the difference is between workflows, nodes and even executions.
Uh, we moved around inside workflows.
And now, last but not least, let me show you other website options we have inside Nadine.
So now when we are inside our workflow we previously created, we can go over here to the left top corner
and click on overview.
However, now we need to save that so we can click on save.
And here.
All right we've got our first workflow.
Nevertheless let's talk about options we have here.
So we've got admin panel.
We can click on that and we'll be redirected to our dashboard.
We can manage our workspace.
We can see executions active workflows even we can manage that you know.
So here you've got different options right there.
For example time zone here and then version and more.
Now actually let's go over here to dashboard and click on Open My Workspace.
All right.
And right here below admin panel we've got templates.
So this is the great space to get inspiration for your future.
You know workflows for your different projects.
You've got here one 1768 workflows that are still being added.
Um, you know, here in general, I recommend you to check it out, um, to see what you have inside
below templates, we've got our variables, and these are key value pairs that we can create and manage
inside an admin.
And what does it mean we can create just static values.
So for an example here we can store some password.
Let's say we can store any API keys.
And here we can just use it in multiple different workflows.
So about it a more in the course.
However it's very nice because again you can create your variables, but later on you can use anywhere
you want.
Then we've got the insights.
So here just you know you can see the data for your workflows.
So here executions, failed executions, failure rate and so on.
Then you've got help.
So here you've got quick start documentation.
Um, actually let me show you that.
You've got documentation of neidan.
So a lot of very useful information.
You've got video courses.
Text courses.
Um, so, you know, a lot of information here.
You can go over there if you have any problem.
Next you've got the forum with active users.
Actually you can talk with others.
Um, you've got the course.
So we discovered that in the documentation you can report a bug and, you know, get more information
about Neidan.
In the left bottom corner it's very important.
You can click on these three dots.
Either you can sign out or here click on settings.
And right there you can change the theme.
So here um default one is dark.
You can switch to light and hover there.
Let's actually provide my last name.
And here you can save it.
You know, like now it's it's changed.
And overall you've got there the most important information you can enable two factor authentication.
So you know like be just safe more safe on your account at the left side when you are inside your settings
you've got also users external secrets, environment SEO, log streaming and so on.
However, it's more advanced about that later in this course so that we have it.
Thank you for your attendance in this video.
Actually, this material is very important because this is the first meet I'm actually with Nitin and
it's really crucial, you know, to know all of the options here and all of the settings, because we'll
be using that in the later parts of this course.
So again, thank you for watching.
And and I will see you in the next video where we'll build our first ever professional workflow.
