activepieces/activepieces:latest

Activepieces is an open-source, no-code workflow automation platform that allows users to create automated workflows across apps and services without writing code, positioning itself as a compelling alternative to proprietary tools like Zapier.

It features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and pre-built integrations with popular applications (such as Google Sheets, Slack, and Twitter) for automating everyday tasks, and it supports custom HTTP requests and webhooks for more advanced workflows.

Set the domain name environment variable

To properly receive webhooks to your service, AP_FRONTEND_URL needs to be set after initial deploy. Either set the environment variable to the CloudFront provided url or add a Custom Domain.

Requires Application Load Balancer

Running Activepieces on FlexStack requires an Application Load Balancer which incurs an additional fee of around $16/month per environment. The ALB is necessary for communicating over websockets, since this is not supported by API Gateway HTTP APIs.

Activepieces can help streamline workflows for a variety of different industries and business functions. It is used across a variety of different business functions and teams such as marketin, IT, HR, and finance.
