Visual scenarios & mapping
Assemble automations on a visual canvas. The mapping panel lets you transform and route data field by field (functions, arrays, structures, etc.).
Build visual scenarios that connect your tools, add AI where it matters, handle errors gracefully, and run in real time via webhooks — all without code.

Branch logic with routers (conditions, fallback) and process lists with iterators and aggregators to handle loops precisely.
Trigger scenarios as soon as an event occurs (queueing, parallel or sequential runs, custom HTTP response).
Add error handlers, configure retries and keep scenarios stable (notifications, run history, rollback on ACID-safe modules).
Persist lightweight business data across runs (structures, fast read/write) without deploying a dedicated database.
Enable AI agents and modules to classify, summarize, extract and decide, with 400+ AI apps supported.
Watch for a new row in Sheets, enrich data, then send personalized emails and a Slack summary to the team.
Sync orders, generate enriched product pages, then create weekly reports in Airtable.
Receive leads via webhook, normalize fields, deduplicate, and upsert contacts in your CRM (retries, API limits).
Auto-analyze incoming tickets, detect intent/urgency with AI, route to the right team using a router.
Sort PDFs, extract totals with an AI module and post entries to your accounting tool.
Create briefs, validate via Slack, create tasks and schedule publications automatically.
