Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Build complex workflows with triggers from third-party apps (AWS, forms, SaaS, APIs, etc), webhooks, cron, email, and others. Process data and create conditional branching with filters and loops. Take actions with the results e.g. send to Slack, create calendar invites, trigger other functions. Drag & drop UI and write JS code. Cloud or self-hosted.

Tradeoffs

Cloud-hosted version requires a credit card for free trial signup. Cloud instances don’t auto-update to newer versions.
