The core value is simplicity and power combined: you can create autonomous workflows in just four steps by connecting to over 620 popular tools like Gmail, Slack, CRMs, and databases.

Features of Activepieces

AI Agents

Activepieces AI Agents are the heart of the platform—smart, autonomous helpers that can think and take action. They can access over 620 different tools and applications to perform tasks like sorting data, sending communications, or updating records. What makes them truly powerful is their ability to work independently or as a collaborative team, passing tasks between each other to complete complex multi-step processes automatically, all guided by your instructions.

No-Code Flow Builder

Orchestrate your AI Agents and connect your apps with an intuitive, visual canvas. The Flow Builder allows you to design automation workflows by simply dragging, dropping, and clicking. You can add conditions, loops, and even custom code steps, making it incredibly easy to map out sophisticated processes without any programming knowledge. It's the central hub where you bring your automation ideas to life.

Tables for Centralized Data

Think of Tables as a super-powered, connected version of Google Sheets or Airtable. This feature provides a central datastore for your automations, allowing your AI Agents to read from and write to structured data seamlessly. It’s the perfect place to manage leads, track project statuses, or store customer information, ensuring all your automated workflows have access to the data they need.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

This feature supercharges external AI tools you already use. Activepieces MCPs allow you to connect its library of 620+ tools (called "Pieces") directly to large language models like Claude (via Anthropic's console), Cursor, or Windsurf. This turns those LLMs into capable AI Agents that can now perform real-world actions across your apps, with Activepieces managing all the complex connections in the background.

Use Cases of Activepieces

Automated Sales & Lead Nurturing

Create a team of AI agents to handle your sales pipeline. One agent can qualify new leads from a form and add them to a Table. Another agent can then send a personalized follow-up email via Gmail, while a third schedules a demo call in your calendar. This ensures no lead falls through the cracks and your team can focus on closing deals.

Intelligent Customer Support

Automate tier-1 customer support to provide instant responses and streamline ticket management. An AI Agent can monitor support channels like email or Slack, categorize incoming queries using AI, pull relevant information from a knowledge base, and provide immediate answers or create structured tickets in Zendesk for human agents when needed.

Internal Operations & Onboarding

Simplify employee or client onboarding with automated checklists and tasks. An AI Agent can trigger when a new hire is added to your HR system, automatically provision accounts across various tools like Google Workspace and Slack, assign training materials, and add todos for the manager to approve each step, ensuring a smooth and consistent process.

Content & Social Media Management

Build workflows to streamline content distribution. An AI Agent can watch for new blog posts in your CMS, automatically format them, create social media captions using AI, and post them across multiple platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook on a scheduled basis, saving you hours of manual work each week.
