Description

The Blueprint  Live Build - N8N:Post Prime Day Performance Automation 

📅 July 2025 | ⏱️ 53:07 | 🎙️ Danny McMillan & Oana Padurariu

Danny and Oana tackle post-Prime Day analysis challenges by building a live automation workflow. Despite technical hurdles, they demonstrate how sellers can leverage AI and n8n to automate performance tracking without being technical experts.

📝 Key Takeaways

• Ask the Right Questions: Success with AI isn't about being a prompt engineer - it's about knowing what problems to solve
• Quality Gates Save Time: Always validate your automation logic before implementation
• Delegate Technical Work: Use handoff documents and job descriptions to outsource to Upwork developers
• Prime Day Data Matters: The spike in sales history affects your Bayesian ranking signals
• Start Simple: Begin with basic flows and expand - don't try to build everything at once
• Push the Innovation Curve: Those who don't adopt AI automation will be left behind permanently
• Natural Language Works: You don't need perfect prompts - conversational interaction gets results
