Activepieces is an open-source, self-hosted workflow automation platform designed to connect third-party applications through modular triggers and actions. It provides a low-code integration framework that allows users to build, manage, and execute complex business logic sequences within isolated, sandboxed environments.
The platform distinguishes itself through its focus on embeddability and enterprise-grade security. It features an embedded automation builder that can be integrated into external applications via iframes, supported by comprehensive identity and access management tools such as single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, and granular role-based access control. These capabilities allow organizations to maintain programmatic control over their automation infrastructure while ensuring secure user provisioning and centralized credential management.
Beyond its core automation engine, the system includes robust lifecycle management tools for versioning, deploying, and promoting workflows across different environments. It supports advanced operational requirements through distributed worker scaling, event queuing, and detailed observability features, including execution history inspection and telemetry exports. Developers can extend the platform by creating custom connectors using TypeScript, which can be validated, packaged, and synchronized with version control systems.
The project is built with TypeScript and provides a comprehensive CLI for managing database migrations, integration testing, and infrastructure provisioning.
