Automation Hub
The self-hosted, AI-powered workflow automation platform for modern teams. Build, deploy, and manage event-driven automations with a visual canvas — on your own infrastructure.
What is Automation Hub?
Automation Hub is an enterprise-grade, self-hosted workflow automation platform that allows teams to build visual, event-driven automations connecting WhatsApp, Email, AI services, webhooks, and more — without sending their data to third-party clouds.
Think of it as a self-hosted alternative to Zapier, n8n, or Make — but with built-in AI nodes (Claude & GPT), native WhatsApp integration (Meta & Twilio), multi-tenant architecture, and a visual canvas editor powered by React Flow.
Self-Hosted = Your Data Stays Yours
Unlike SaaS automation tools, Automation Hub runs entirely on your own server. Your workflow data, API keys, and customer information never leave your infrastructure. No per-task pricing, no vendor lock-in.
