What it does
Automatisch is a self-hosted, open-source workflow automation tool that allows startup founders to build custom automations without extensive coding knowledge.
Install / run
git clone https://github.com/automatisch/automatisch.git && cd automatisch && npm install
When to use it
•When you need to automate repetitive tasks across different services and apps
•When you want to integrate custom workflows with popular services like GitHub, Slack, or Google Sheets
•When you need a scalable and customizable automation solution for your startup
Quick start
1Create a new automation workflow by running `npm run new` and following the prompts
2Configure your workflow by editing the `automatisches/flows/your-workflow.json` file and adding custom steps and conditions
3Start the automatisch server with `npm start` and access the web interface at http://localhost:3010
4Use the web interface to test and deploy your automation workflow
5Monitor and manage your workflow runs with the built-in logging and analytics tools
Ready-to-paste prompt
Create a new automation workflow that sends a Slack notification whenever a new issue is opened on your GitHub repository: `npm run new --template github-slack`
Heads up: Make sure you have Node.js version 14 or higher installed, as automatisch requires it to run, and also be aware that some workflow templates may require additional dependencies or API keys to function correctly
