Recipe Builder and Triggers

Design multi step automations using triggers from webhooks, events, or schedules. Branch on conditions, loop through lists, and apply transformations. Reusable steps speed setup while preventing one off scripts. Clear diffs show edits for review. With a builder that balances power and readability, teams automate across apps without hidden cron jobs or fragile glue code anywhere. Folders, tags, and ownership keep automation organized for audits and reviews now.

Connectors and Data Mapping

Use prebuilt connectors for CRM, ERP, help desk, storage, and ad platforms. Schema discovery and mapping assist with fields and types. Transform, cleanse, and enrich values before sending. Because mappings are explicit, integrations remain understandable to reviewers. Changes carry through environments predictably, preventing breaks when source apps add fields or update APIs. Metrics report success rates, runtimes, and retries with exportable dashboards here.

AI Steps and Human in the Loop

Insert AI for classification, extraction, or content. Guardrails control prompts, inputs, and destinations. Confidence checks route uncertain results to approval steps. Comments explain context and choices. This balance accelerates routine work while ensuring policy compliance. Teams capture learning from reviews and convert it into better prompts or rules over time easily. Roles and environments separate dev, test, and prod while protecting secrets safely.

Environments, Roles, and Compliance

Develop in sandboxes, promote with approvals, and lock production. Roles restrict who can edit, run, or view secrets. Logs record changes, inputs, and outputs for audits. Policies enforce retention and region routing. These controls make automation dependable and reviewable at scale, letting multiple departments collaborate without compromising security or regulatory needs. Webhooks, queues, and schedules orchestrate events across bursts and quiet periods.

Monitoring, Alerts, and Reliability

Dashboards show throughput, latency, and error trends. Retries use backoff; idempotency prevents duplicates. Queues buffer spikes so launches stay stable. Alerts notify owners on anomalies. Exports feed BI for capacity planning. With robust monitoring and failure handling, teams trust integrations during busy periods and reduce time spent diagnosing brittle behavior. Schema introspection keeps mappings stable even as apps evolve their fields later.
