Make
A visual automation platform, formerly Integromat, that connects apps and webhooks into workflows.

Power Automate ties workflows to the Microsoft 365 ecosystem and can automate legacy Windows desktop applications, with advanced connectors and higher run volumes requiring paid licensing.
Activepieces

IFTTT

IFTTT uses a simpler trigger and action Applet model that also covers smart home devices, but it is less suited to complex multi-step workflows than Zapier.
Node-RED

Node-RED is a free, open-source, self-hosted flow-based programming tool with built-in debugging, requiring you to wire APIs yourself rather than using ready-made app integrations.
Windmill

huginn
Build self-hosted agents that watch for events and trigger actions.
Huginn is a free, MIT-licensed self-hosted tool for event-driven agents, which means maintaining your own server and configuring agents instead of using a hosted no-code builder.
