What Automatisch is
Automatisch is a free, open-source workflow tool that connects services to automate business processes without programming. It runs on the web or as a self-hosted installation, and supports multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and webhook triggers. Supported apps include Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, and OpenAI, among others. A workflow continues until you stop it or unlink its connected account. Documentation states that workflows currently run at 15-minute intervals. Users can install Automatisch with Docker Compose or Docker and keep its data on their own servers, including for sensitive-data use cases. The installation guide says an ENCRYPTION_KEY encrypts credentials for third-party services. The Community Edition is AGPL-3.0 software and costs nothing; an Enterprise Edition is offered under an Enterprise license. Documentation covers building integrations and requesting new ones. Automatisch is made by a Berlin, Germany company and lists support by email and Discord.
