How It Works

Role-Based Items

The checklist is tailored to your role in the organization.

Key Setup Tasks

Add a Company - This is your first step. Create a company record to represent an organization you're managing n8n workflows for.

Add an n8n Instance - Connect your n8n deployment by providing its URL and API key. The system will automatically sync workflows and executions.

Track LLM Spend - If you want to track AI costs, connect an LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and assign projects to companies.

Progress Tracking

The sidebar widget shows:

  • A circular progress indicator
  • Number of completed items vs total
  • Quick access to the full checklist

Dismissing the Checklist

Once you're comfortable with the platform, you can dismiss it:

  1. Hover over the checklist widget in the sidebar
  2. Click the X button
  3. Confirm you want to hide it

The checklist won't appear again unless you restore it.

Restoring the Checklist

If you dismissed the checklist but want it back, you can restore it from Preferences.
