Automatisch

Automatisch is an open-source, self-hosted business automation tool that connects various services and applications to automate business processes without requiring programming knowledge. By acting as a bridge between different APIs, it allows users to synchronize data and trigger actions across multiple platforms from a single centralized location.

The software is deployed as a server-based web application. It is typically installed using Docker Compose, which allows users to host the automation engine on their own infrastructure. This deployment method ensures that the logic and the data flowing between integrated services remain within the user's own network environment rather than relying on a third-party cloud provider's infrastructure.

Key features

• Connection of multiple services such as Twitter and Slack
• No-code interface for workflow automation
• Self-hosted data storage for sensitive information
• GDPR compliance support for European companies
• Prevention of vendor lock-in through data ownership
• Open-source development model under the AGPL-3.0 license
• Docker-based installation process

This tool is designed for businesses and individuals who need to orchestrate data flow between APIs while maintaining strict control over their data. It is particularly suited for industries like healthcare and finance where privacy regulations prohibit the use of external cloud automation services. By hosting the software locally, organizations can ensure that sensitive user information is not shared with external cloud services during the automation process. The project maintains a single repository containing both a Community Edition and a commercial Enterprise Edition, with the latter identified by specific file naming conventions.

Automatisch is a privacy-focused automation hub for users who prioritize data sovereignty and regulatory compliance over the convenience of managed cloud services.
