// how it works

How it works

  1. Connect your apps

    Link the services you already use through built-in integrations or generic webhooks and API calls.

  2. Build the flow visually

    Drag triggers and actions onto a canvas: when this happens, do that.

  3. Add logic and AI

    Branch on conditions, loop over items, or pipe steps through language models.

  4. Deploy and monitor

    Turn the workflow on and watch executions in the run history.

// features

Why people love it

Automation-ready

Designed to run unattended: triggers, schedules, and webhooks.

Workflow-centric

Built around repeatable pipelines you can save, share, and schedule.

Visual workflow builder

Design automations on a canvas instead of writing glue code.

Error handling

Retries, fallbacks, and alerts when steps fail.

Versioned flows

Export, diff, and back up workflows like code.

No per-run pricing

The automation is free; you only pay for your own server.
