Started an Open-source alternative for Zapier, what automation flows do you need?
Hi everyone,
I've been working on an open-source alternative for Zapier for a few months.
The main reasons I've been working on this project were to make it more flexible, easier to extend, and more feature rich.
After building the core functionalities, it's time to add new Triggers and Tasks.
My question is what automation flows do you need the most?
This is the repository, btw, and soon I'll create a video showing how to automatically email any new messages on a Slack channel.
This is very cool. As a user of both Zapier and Integromat, I'm excited for an open source option.
That's great.
Would be great if you could join our Discord server (https://discord.gg/kpCmHtKYHd). Pretty sure there are certain
Automationsyou use more often and with your suggestions we can prioritise implementing them.This sounds like a great idea, but I’m not sure that this seems ‘extremely simple’ to me in its current state. It looks like something that’s going to take me quite some time to set up locally.
How do you foresee this being an alternative to Zapier?
It’s very developer focused and maybe there are simple instructions on the website, which is not working for me. I tried on Safari and Firefox Focus on iOS.
Just realized I didn't answer this question "How do you foresee this being an alternative to Zapier?"
At it's current state, DoTenX has the foundation needed to provide the service, but the UI is still very basic and not many Tasks or Triggers are added.
In the near future, there will be a super simple way to add common
Automations, plus a different UI to support advancedAutomationsto support scenarios that developers or people with some development skills will use.It would be great if you could join our Discord channel.
Thanks for the kind words.
It's really a work in progress yet, but even in its current state you should be able to set it up locally with a
docker compose upand you'll see the UI onlocalhost:3010
