+# 📅 Day 1 — Setup and Data Ingestion
+
+## 🎯 Goal
+Establish the foundation for the project.  
+The primary objective is to create an **n8n workflow** that successfully fetches raw **sales** and **product review data** from their respective sources.
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 Tasks
+
+### 1. Environment Setup
+- Set up your **n8n instance**:
+  - Options: n8n Cloud, Docker, or local installation.
+  - Reference: [https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/](https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/)
+- Create a **Python environment**.
+  - Install necessary libraries:
+    ```bash
+    pip install pandas nltk
+    ```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Create a New n8n Workflow
+- Start with a **Manual Trigger** node (`Start`).
+- This will later be replaced with an automated schedule on **Day 5**.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Fetch Sales Data
+- Add an **HTTP Request** or **Database Node (PostgreSQL/MySQL)**.
+- Connect to your e-commerce API endpoint (e.g., Shopify → `/orders.json`).
+- Set up credentials (API Key, OAuth2, etc.).
+- Test and verify that recent order data (e.g., order_id, product_id, price, quantity) is fetched successfully.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Fetch Product Reviews
+- Add another **HTTP Request** node.
+- Configure it to pull recent **product reviews** (e.g., review_text, rating).
+- Test independently to ensure successful data retrieval.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Combine Data Streams
+- Add a **Merge Node**.
+- Connect both sales and review nodes.
+- Set **Mode** → `Combine`.
+- This ensures both data sets are merged and available for the next phase.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Deliverable
+A manually triggered **n8n workflow** that:
+- Pulls raw data from **two sources** (sales + reviews).
+- Combines them using a **Merge node**.
+- Outputs unified JSON data ready for analysis.
+
