About Automatisch
Automatisch is an open-source workflow automation tool designed as a self-hosted Zapier alternative. Flows connect a trigger in one service to actions in others, such as posting new form responses to Slack or syncing rows to a spreadsheet, using a simple step-by-step builder with no coding needed. Its main appeal is data control: companies in healthcare, finance or the EU that can't send customer data through a US cloud service can run it on their own infrastructure with Docker or Docker Compose. A paid cloud version is also offered for teams that don't want to manage servers, along with an enterprise edition. The project is smaller than n8n or Activepieces, with a shorter list of integrations and fewer advanced features like code steps or AI agents, and development pace has been modest, so it suits straightforward flows rather than complex logic. Contributors can add new integrations, and the documentation covers building them. It runs in the browser on your own server.
Best for: Privacy-conscious teams that need simple self-hosted automations.
