Self-hosted business automation platform connecting apps without code
Open-source workflow automation tool that connects services like Twitter and Slack. Self-host to keep data on your servers without programming knowledge required.
Overview
Business Automation on Your Terms
Automatisch is a self-hosted workflow automation platform designed for businesses that need to connect multiple services—like Twitter, Slack, and dozens of others—without writing code or sharing sensitive data with third-party cloud providers.
Built for Data Sovereignty
Unlike cloud-only alternatives, Automatisch runs on your infrastructure, giving you complete control over business data. This architecture is critical for healthcare, finance, and organizations subject to GDPR or other compliance frameworks. You maintain full ownership of workflows and can migrate freely without vendor lock-in.
No-Code, Maximum Flexibility
The platform requires zero programming knowledge. Build multi-step automations through a visual interface, and because it's open source, you can extend functionality or contribute improvements directly. Deploy via Docker Compose in minutes and start automating repetitive tasks immediately.
Whether you're routing customer inquiries, syncing data between tools, or triggering notifications, Automatisch delivers enterprise-grade automation with the transparency and control that proprietary SaaS cannot match.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need programming skills to use Automatisch?
No. Automatisch provides a visual no-code interface for building automations. You connect apps and define logic through the UI without writing any code.
How does self-hosting help with GDPR compliance?
By running Automatisch on your own servers, all workflow data stays within your infrastructure. You control data residency, processing, and access—eliminating third-party data processors that complicate GDPR compliance.
What's included in the Docker Compose installation?
The Docker Compose setup includes all necessary services to run Automatisch. After cloning the repository and running docker compose up, you can log in with the provided sample credentials and start building workflows immediately.
Can I migrate away from Automatisch later?
Yes. Because you own all workflow definitions and data, you can export and migrate to another platform without vendor restrictions—unlike switching between proprietary cloud providers.
How does Automatisch compare to Zapier or Integromat?
Automatisch offers similar workflow automation capabilities but runs on your infrastructure instead of a third-party cloud. This trades managed convenience for data sovereignty, cost control, and freedom from vendor lock-in.
