Activepieces

Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation tool that lets you connect your apps and build automated processes without writing code. It serves as an alternative to platforms like Zapier and Make, but with the advantage that you can self-host it on your own infrastructure. The project is built on TypeScript and runs as a Node.js application, making it relatively straightforward to deploy.

The tool provides a visual drag-and-drop builder where you create flows called pieces. It supports connections to over 100 popular services including Slack, Google Sheets, Discord, Notion, and Stripe. Activepieces includes features like scheduled triggers, webhooks, error handling, and built-in version control for your flows. The platform also offers a cloud-hosted version for those who prefer not to manage their own server.

Activepieces is designed for individuals and teams who need affordable, customizable automation without the per-task pricing of proprietary services. The core project is under the MIT license, meaning you can modify and redistribute it freely. The company behind it, Activepieces Inc., also offers a paid cloud tier with higher usage limits and priority support for those who want a managed experience.
