# Automate work

- Canonical: https://siax.io/en/use-cases/automate-work
- Language: en
- Publisher: SIAX Technology AB, siax.io

Connect your apps and move data between them with workflows you run yourself.

## Problems it solves

- People copy data between systems by hand, which takes time and causes mistakes.
- You want automation whose cost does not grow with every run.
- Data passing between your systems should not have to go through another company's service.

## Open source projects

- [Activepieces](https://siax.io/en/projects/activepieces): MIT (verified)

## Services it can replace

- [Zapier](https://siax.io/en/alternatives/zapier): Activepieces: Direct alternative, Verified (<https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces/blob/6e52092eee5a037b05d44e10e7d4e28d9b6af0d5/README.md>)

## Components to combine

- Open in the stack builder: https://siax.io/en/stack-builder?v=1&saas=zapier/zapier

## Limitations

- Activepieces is recorded as open core: some features are outside the part released under the MIT licence. (From the project's record: <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/activepieces/activepieces/6e52092eee5a037b05d44e10e7d4e28d9b6af0d5/LICENSE>)
- An automation is only as good as the connectors for the services you use. Check that the connectors you need exist before you move a flow. (SIAX assessment)

## Running cost

Self-hosting is not free: servers, backups and your own time cost money. These figures are estimates; minimum resources come only from the project's own documentation.

- Activepieces: minimum resources not yet assessed.

## Likely savings

Open the savings calculator with this need's services and components filled in. Every amount you have not entered is 0 and marked as your input; list prices appear only with a source.
