Automation & workflows · Workflow automation
Workflows that run themselves.
Approvals, notifications and hand-offs between your tools, built in n8n, Make, Zapier or Power Automate, or in custom code when needed.
Workflow automation
Is this right for you?
A good fit when
- The same data is typed into two or more systems.
- Approvals wait in someone's inbox.
- Customers or staff get updates that someone sends by hand.
- Reports are copied and pasted together every week.
Not the best fit when
- The process changes every week and has not settled yet.
- It happens a few times a month and takes minutes.
- The systems involved offer no way in, such as an API or export. See RPA.
