  No. The course starts with the fundamentals and uses no-code tools, so you don't need prior automation or coding experience.

• What is workflow automation?

  Workflow automation is the practice of setting up tasks to run automatically, without manual effort, once they're triggered. Lesson 01 covers what it is and why it matters.

• What is Zapier, and why is it used in this course?

• How does ChatGPT fit into workflow automation?
