What is Activepieces?

Activepieces is a modern, open-source business automation platform that serves as a self-hostable alternative to Zapier and Make. It offers a visual flow builder for creating multi-step automation workflows connecting hundreds of apps and services. Built with a focus on security, privacy, and developer extensibility, Activepieces lets teams automate repetitive business processes without sending data to third-party servers. Its TypeScript-based SDK makes building custom integrations (called "pieces") straightforward for developers.
