Open source under MIT, self-hosts cleanly, and the cloud plan is mostly convenience and task quota. A bot deploys the real thing and you get the full connector library rather than the four integrations it would otherwise hand-write for you - which neatly sidesteps the objection that sinks the Zapier and Make entries. This is the best answer in the automation category for anyone willing to have a bot babysit a docker-compose, and the licence is permissive enough that you don't have to read it twice.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
Don't hand-write integrations. Activepieces is MIT-licensed and self-hosts cleanly - run the real thing. You have a computer and a browser. Deploy self-hosted Activepieces and keep it running. - Official docker-compose with Postgres and Redis. Behind a stable URL with TLS. - Set AP_ENCRYPTION_KEY and AP_JWT_SECRET explicitly, never generated on the fly. Store both in my password manager and tell me where. Losing the encryption key means losing every stored credential. - Never expose the editor unauthenticated, not even for a minute during setup. - Ask me for my four most important flows, build them, and run each one end to end in front of me before you call it done. Credentials: - Walk me through granting each connection in the browser. Tell me exactly which scopes you requested and why. - Nothing that sends mail, posts publicly or moves money runs unattended until I've watched it work once. Ongoing: - Nightly Postgres backup off your machine, encryption key stored separately. Monthly, restore to scratch and prove the credentials still decrypt. - Watch the health endpoint, message me if it's down over five minutes. - Monthly, check for releases, show me the changelog, wait for my go-ahead. - Weekly, one Slack message: flows run, failures, anything that hasn't fired when it should have.
the bot will need to sign into: slack
what you lose
- managed upgrades and someone else's uptime
- the hosted connector credentials being their problem
- support when a piece breaks
- the cloud task quota, which you now provide as your own compute
the numbers
Cloud Plus is $16/mo, Team $166. Self-hosting the community edition is free under MIT with no cap on runs, users or flows.
