## What it is
Automatisch is an open-source, self-hostable business automation tool that serves as a Zapier alternative, letting users connect services like Slack, Twitter, and OpenAI into automated workflows without coding. It is built with JavaScript, runs via Docker with a main app and worker service, and uses PostgreSQL and Redis.

## Use cases
- automate posting tweets mentioning a keyword to a Slack channel
- self-host a Zapier alternative for GDPR-sensitive data
- connect SaaS apps like Salesforce, Notion, and Gmail into workflows without coding
- run scheduled workflows that poll services every 15 minutes
- trigger flows from webhooks
- avoid vendor lock-in for business process automation

## When to choose
- you need workflow automation but must keep data on your own servers for compliance (GDPR, healthcare, finance)
- you want a no-code/low-code automation tool without subscription costs
- you want an open-source Zapier/Integromat alternative with no vendor lock-in

## When to avoid
- you need instant, real-time triggers rather than 15-minute polling intervals
- you prefer a fully managed cloud service with minimal ops overhead
- you need a permissively licensed tool, since the core is AGPL-3.0 with enterprise-licensed files
