DronaHQ

We are building DronaHQ - a comprehensive low-code platform for building internal tools. We do compete with retool, internal and others in the category. Today we launch automation 2.0.

In our observation - our users need to do complex CRUD operations not just from frontend (web//mobile) but also basis events happening in other systems or on a scheduled time. Say for instance you got a new win in Hubspot and you got to let your customer success DB updated and a few internal APIs called. Reason you use platform like DronaHQ is because we make it super simple to write workflows involving CRUD & REST. And for such use cases - we don't want our users to do the hard work of figuring work arounds or write code. So we launch automation 2.0 to ensure our users are able to leverage our powerful workflow tool and respond to events happening outside our ecosystem.

Here is what DronaHQ's Automation 2.0. has evolved to (for folks who have been following our work):

Automation now has its own process builder to help build processes visually with drag and drop. In the earlier version - it needed workflows to be created within the app for it to be consumed in automation. This had two problems:

1. Create screens in the app which would never get used just to have a workflow created.
2. This needed customers to have BPM as add on in order to use automation.

With this release - automation now becomes capable to serve its customers all by itself.
At a high level - given this engine is built on top of DronaHQ workflow/BPM engine - it inherits a very power builder capable to write complex automation rules. For example in a given automation you may add a branching logic anywhere in the flow as against Zapier's constraint of adding branch in a working zap only after the last block.

Here are some examples of use cases where DronaHQ Automation 2.0 can be put to use:

1. Send personalised newsletters to all your leads/customers/signups
2. On a new subscription from a customer, notify your team and allocate customer success rep basis the region of the customer

Lots is cooking here at DronaHQ and we could not wait to share this one with you all - The new Automation is live in Beta and you can sign up for free to start building powerful internal tools at dronahq.com.

Do give it a whirl and share your feedback with us.

Ps: Folks who are new to DronaHQ - We are a Low code tool to build internal apps and provide comprehensive tooling under one roof.

1. Drag & Drop app builder for all building all things Frontend [web + mobile]
2. BPM to build processes
3. Database to build online database systems
4. PDF Generator for building documents with no code
5. Automation to automate things in your tools/apps

Internal Tools, Approval Workflows, Admin Panels, Dashboards, Database GUIs, Vaccine Administration - these Low-code templates by DronaHQ are pre-built apps thoughtfully designed for you to install & connect to your datasources and start using in minutes.

Low code tools fits perfectly in the category of dev tools. And the use cases that can be catered is even more wide. For instance you may just want to build a simple admin tool & someone else may want to build an entire inventory management tool. Given the variety on use cases the best way to arrive at a win-win solution is by basing the pricing on consumption. So if you are using less then why pay more and vice versa.

At DronaHQ we calculate usage purely basis the server side compute done for the customer. Server side compute would mean executing a workflow or calling any APIs or invoking any connectors. In our world – this currency is called as task.

March 2019 when we launched DronaHQ No-Code platform for beta access, we kept a simple target — build 50 serious production-grade apps for customers on the platform. In alignment with our goal, we focused our sales team and account team to go for use cases and get customers to sign up for apps built on the platform.

1000+ signups, 30+ serious apps for mid & large enterprises and government in prod and running. Let’s get into some useful insights to answer questions like:

What is the limitation of No-Code?
How far can I go with No-Code?
What if we hit the ceiling?
Lock-in?
What are apt use cases for No-Code? http://dronahq.com/one-year-of-launching-no-code/?utm_campaign=post-promotion&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=indiehackers

Have Reached 1000 Signups, from Individuals, Startups, SI, Partners, Consultants, SMB teams, Business teams and Enterprises for Free and Paid Plans. Would love to reach as many people and get their feedbacks to make the product better.
