This looks remarkably similar to n8n[1]. Is this a variant of it?

Nope, built ourselves and no relation to n8n :) Like n8n the focus is a visual builder where you drag, drop and connect modules together.
n8n has more of a focus on integrations/piping data between different external SaaS tools. Our focus is on performing more of the tasks/operations natively so you can build, run and manage more of your process in place.

#33If you can make this on prem, there are a bunch of DoD contracts that I've seen that are looking for this type of thing. If there's anything the DoD loves, it's documented and verifiable workflows. Years ago, I worked on a prototype for something like this for intelligence analysts. Search for contracts on "orchestration".

Fixed! Our apologies - we did not foresee this much traffic from this post, so it got hugged to death for a while.

On prem isn't a standard feature, but it is something we can work out on a case by case basis. Will check out your tip on "orchestration" contracts, thanks!

#37Looks interesting...how does this compare to something like Zapier?

Pretty different to Zapier. I'd say Zapier is very focused on piping data between different apps and tools, and is fantastic for establishing those connections.
Our focus is on consolidating and running as much of the core operations and logic in a playbook or process in one platform. This means you can build, run and manage more of your operations from one centralized "command center" rather than having to glue multiple SaaS tools together to achieve the same thing.
You can of course still integrate with other apps, and we actually have a Zapier integration for users who don't want to use our more technical webhook and API modules.

#39Looks great. Will try this out. Was evaluating Pipefy a while back for the same exact reason.

Let us know how you go! We are happy to offer the full white glove treatment for our early users. If you need a feature, we work hard to turn it around for you :)
