// 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.

Self-hosted & private

Credentials and execution data stay on your infrastructure.

Hundreds of integrations

Prebuilt connectors plus HTTP, webhooks, and database nodes.

Visual workflow builder

Design automations on a canvas instead of writing glue code.

Error handling
