Developer-first features

In your codebase

Create workflows where they belong: in your codebase. Version control, localhost, test, review, and deploy like you're used to.

Secure by design

Your workflows run on your servers, not ours. We only receive the data you choose to send to us.

Delays & scheduling

Run a workflow on a schedule (CRON), or add delays of up to 1 year. Workflows will resume where they left off, even if your server goes down.

Use the services you love

Subscribe to API changes and make requests. For supported integrations we’ll handle authentication for you. For everything else, simply use our generic fetch function to call any HTTP endpoint.

Trigger toolkit

Install our SDK and get instant access to all of our triggers you can use in your code.

Webhooks

Subscribe to webhooks without creating API endpoints. Plus they work locally without tunneling.

github.events.issueEvent({ repo: "acme/website" })

Scheduled (CRON)

Easily subscribe to a recurring schedule using human readable code or CRON syntax.

scheduleEvent({ every: { minutes: 30 } })

Custom Events

Trigger workflows from any event in your app. Send us your events, and we'll do the rest.

customEvent({ name: "your.event", schema: YourEventSchema })

HTTP Endpoint (coming soon)

Expose an HTTP endpoint to trigger your workflows with the method and path of your choice.

httpEvent({ method: "POST", path: "/users/:id", schema: UserSchema })

Receive Emails (coming soon)

Receive emails from your custom domain and trigger a workflow with the email metadata and content.

emailEvent({ address: "[email protected]" })

AWS Event Bridge (coming soon)

Integrate with AWS Event Bridge to trigger workflows on your own Event Bridge events.

eventBridgeEvent({ bus: "customer-support", schema: CustomerSupportEventSchema })
