About Customer Datastore (n8n training)
Customer Datastore is a built-in n8n training node that provides sample customer data for learning and prototyping workflows. It ships with every n8n installation and outputs a small dataset of fictional customer records — names, emails, and basic attributes — so you can practice building workflows without needing to connect a real database or API first.
People new to n8n use this node as a starting point for learning how data flows between nodes. Instead of setting up a database connection or API credentials just to test a concept, you drop in the Customer Datastore node and immediately have structured data to work with. It is particularly useful for trying out data transformation nodes, conditional logic, loops, and output formatting before applying those patterns to production systems.
At Osher, we use the Customer Datastore node during n8n consulting sessions and training workshops. When we are showing a client how to build a lead routing workflow or a customer notification system, we start with this node so the focus stays on the automation logic rather than credential setup. Once the workflow pattern is proven, we swap the Customer Datastore for real data sources like CRMs, databases, or API endpoints.
The node requires no configuration or credentials. It simply outputs a predefined set of customer records that you can filter, transform, and route through your workflow. Think of it as sample data that is always available — useful for prototyping, demonstrating concepts, and testing node configurations before going live.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Customer Datastore (n8n training)
As Customer Datastore (n8n training) consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Customer Datastore (n8n training) with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Open n8n and Create a New Workflow
Log into your n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) and create a new blank workflow. Give it a descriptive name like Training – Customer Data Practice so you can find it later in your workflow list.
Step 2
Add the Customer Datastore Node
Click the plus button to add a new node and search for Customer Datastore. Select it and add it to your canvas. No configuration is needed — the node is ready to output sample data immediately.
Step 3
Execute the Node to See the Data
Click Execute Node or run the workflow. The output panel will show the sample customer records with their fields and values. Review the data structure — this is what downstream nodes will receive as input.
Step 4
Add Transformation Nodes
Practice adding nodes after the Customer Datastore. Try a Set node to rename fields, an IF node to filter customers by a condition, or a Function node to calculate new values. Each node transforms the data for the next step in the chain.
Step 5
Connect an Output Destination
Add a final node to see how processed data would land in a real system. Try a Google Sheets node (with credentials) to write rows, or simply use a NoOp node to inspect the final transformed output without sending it anywhere.
Step 6
Swap for Real Data When Ready
Once your workflow logic is working with the sample data, replace the Customer Datastore node with your actual data source. Re-map field references if needed, test with a small batch of real records, and then activate the workflow for production use.
