Four exercises on the parts that decide whether an automation survives contact with reality: structured output, reading a run, scheduling, and ordered processing.
An AI step in a workflow will classify anything you give it, including the malformed submission, the duplicate, and the one in a language nobody planned for.
The failures are rarely dramatic. They are a field that came back as prose instead of a value, or two runs that overtook each other and wrote in the wrong order.
So this track spends its time on structure, observability and sequencing rather than on connecting two apps, which you can already do.
Zapier
Define a bounded AI-assisted workflow step and inspect its execution record and task use. Two exercises: define a structured intake-classification step, then review a workflow run and its usage.
Make
Set an appropriate recurring schedule and choose ordered processing for a workflow where sequence matters. Two exercises: schedule a recurring scenario, then protect the sequence of a dependent workflow.
Two platforms, on purpose
Zapier for the structured step and the run review, Make for scheduling and ordering. Seeing the same problems solved twice is what stops this becoming knowledge about one product's menus.
Bring your own work
Every exercise supplies a fictional, privacy-safe scenario so you can start immediately — but the workflow is the point, and it transfers to the real thing on your desk the same afternoon.
Grounded in the tool's own docs
Each lesson ends with the vendor's own documentation pages that the exercise relies on. Nothing here is invented, and when a tool changes you can see exactly what to re-check.
Yes, completely. Create an account, start the track and work through it. There is no card, no trial and no upsell at the end.
You need an account with each of the two tools. Every exercise is written against the tool's own published documentation, and each lesson links the exact pages it relies on — check there for what your plan includes, since the vendors change their tiers regularly.
About 59 minutes across four exercises — roughly 20, 15, 12 and 12 minutes.
