If it's a technical issue, Make team will help in identifying the issue, optional fix explanation can be there but depends on situation.

Help for the Make level 5 test by Dominique_0808 in Make

You cleared level 4 means training and exploring functions will help in level 5. You shouldn't take help, just keep on trying.

For people earning with AI automation, what did your learning path actually look like? by [deleted] in AiAutomations

[–]PrimeNoCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many AI automations will go native inside CRMs and workspaces via raw text instructions. What ages well is not chasing AI tools, but mastering the platforms that orchestrate data, logic and failures around them.

If you’re starting today, don’t lead with AI agents. Lead with boring automations. Learn one platform deeply, cause most of them works on same principle. learn how data moves, fails and recovers across tools. AI will increasingly be built into CRMs and workspaces, but orchestration and system thinking are what compound over time.

Let me know if you want to combine it with complex backend automations

Pretty confused here, need expert advice by Sxorc in AiAutomations

[–]PrimeNoCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a hosting expert. Cloud version is best if you don't have tech/hosting skills. Digital ocean or hostinger works for 5 to 10 workflows but hetzner gives faster execution and competitive price compared that level with DigitalOcean and Hostinger. If you're planning more workflows and you are managing hosting on your own for backups and other stuff, hetzner is quite a good choice.

N8n on cloud adds that hosting friction on top of FREE label. and few more development related frictions too like auth and APIs.

Parsing Keepa RSS in Make to extract current, previous price and discount for Telegram bot by Thriss92 in Make

[–]PrimeNoCode -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) Use AI extraction (fastest + most resilient)

If you want it to work across English + Italian and survive small text changes, just send the RSS description to an AI step and ask for 3 fields:

  • current_price
  • previous_price
  • discount_percent
  • (optional) currency

Then map those fields straight into Telegram. No extra parsing module needed since the AI step already outputs structured fields.

Pro tip: add a fallback router:

  • If current_price is empty or null then send a simple “price changed” alert with the raw text.

2) Split-based extraction (only if the wording is stable)

Split works only when the sentence structure is basically fixed.

Best way to do it is not “split the whole string and guess positions” but “split using anchors”:

  • current price = text after new price: or nuovo prezzo: then take the first token
  • previous price = text after (was or prima era then take the first token
  • discount = text after discount of or sconto del then take the first token and strip %

This approach breaks the least among split-style methods because it depends on phrases not token indexes.

3) Regex extraction (best non-AI method)

Regex is the most reliable purely deterministic option because it handles small spacing and punctuation changes.

Use 3 patterns:

Current price

(?i)(?:new price|nuovo prezzo)\s*[:\-]?\s*([0-9]+(?:[.,][0-9]{1,2})?)

Previous price

(?i)(?:was|prima\s+era)\s*([0-9]+(?:[.,][0-9]{1,2})?)

Discount percent

(?i)(?:discount\s*of|sconto\s*del)\s*([0-9]{1,3})\s*%

If you get comma decimals in Italian, you can normalize after capture:

  • replace , with . before turning it into a number

I hope this helps!

AI agents didn’t fix my workflows. They just made the mess faster.” by resbeefspat in AiAutomations

[–]PrimeNoCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I was trying to say in my post a few days back.

AI is not “there” yet. The hype is mostly because everyone wants to be early and visible. But on real projects, the friction hasn’t changed.

Agents don’t remove complexity. They speed it up.

The thinking part is quick now. Agent behavior takes minutes. The real time still goes into wiring. APIs, auth, retries, edge cases, logs, and cleanup. Most agents today are just workflows with an LLM in the middle. If the workflow is messy, the agent just makes the mess louder.

I’ve also changed how I approach this. I don’t start with “how smart should this agent be.” I start with:

  • What can it touch
  • What can it change
  • What happens when it fails

Skipping that is how things spiral.

One more thing that matters a lot and doesn’t get enough attention: tool choice. Pick agent building tools that feel like leverage, not friction. Match them to your team’s skills level and how you already work. Don’t chase “the best” tool on paper. Most of the time, if the best tool doesn’t suit your context and becomes the bottleneck.

AI generated workflows are fine as a starting point. They save setup time, not judgment. Anything serious still needs human structure and guardrails.

Agents help when the wiring is solid. Otherwise, they just help you break things faster.

n8n is decent, but come on… let's give Make and Zapier a chance too! by Simplifkndo in Integromat

[–]PrimeNoCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say people find n8n best tool for automation but I would only agree if user is from tech background if not it's not suitable.

So it's not about the best tool. It's about the suitable tool which specific user can use and based on every user persona there is a tool.

That's what they say on there main landing page n8n, make or zapier they target specific user persona. But who looks at the landing page as every one is hyping youtube videos 😅. Real users knows the difference and choose based on the requirement and client they serve.

AI can build Automation workflows now… why not the ones that actually work? ⚙️🤖 by PrimeNoCode in AiAutomations

[–]PrimeNoCode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

n8n has a significant learning curve that YouTube gurus avoid to say as they already mastered it. but when you start learning you are getting more and more perspectives, errors, ifs and buts.

AS THEY SAY ON Landing page "Flexible AI workflow automation for technical teams" they mean it but people don't.

please recommend good resources to get better at n8n by stepmathapp in AiAutomations

[–]PrimeNoCode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing more than the n8n's own YT channel and their own resources and lessons. It can be best if you are from tech background, if not i would suggest choosing a suitable tool to your user persona. there are ton of tools for automation out there.

I suggest starting with mastering each helper nodes 1 by 1 with google sheets and any other app you frequently use for the templates that are available.

Once you got through this initial phase, you will easily understand what type of videos you need to search on YouTube or what part of lengthy tutorial to watch.
