Automatisch

Automatisch is an open source workflow automation tool that positions itself as an alternative to Zapier. It connects online services through triggers and actions, so a business can automate processes such as posting a message to Slack when something happens in another app, without writing code. The key difference from hosted automation services is that you can run it on your own servers and keep workflow data in house. It is aimed at businesses that handle sensitive data and cannot send it to an external cloud service, especially in healthcare and finance and European companies bound by GDPR. The project emphasizes data privacy, freedom from vendor lock in and an open development process where users and developers can shape the roadmap. It integrates with widely used online services, and the documentation covers installation, advanced setup and building your own integrations for services not yet supported. The team is based in Berlin. The Community Edition is free and open source under the AGPL version 3 license and can be self hosted. The repository also contains Enterprise Edition files under a separate commercial license. The home page mentions an affordable cloud option, but no prices for the cloud service or the Enterprise Edition are published on the site, so treat both as quote based. Automatisch is a general automation tool rather than an AI product; its value here is as a self hosted way to wire AI services and other apps into automated workflows.
