Activepieces

Overview

Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform — the newest Zapier/n8n alternative. Visual builder, 200+ integrations, code steps, branching, loops, and webhooks. Self-hosted for free with unlimited flows.

Instructions

Step 1: Self-Host
# docker-compose.yml — Activepieces with PostgreSQL and Redis
services:
  activepieces:
    image: activepieces/activepieces:latest
    ports: ["8080:80"]
    environment:
      AP_ENGINE_EXECUTABLE_PATH: dist/packages/engine/main.js
      AP_POSTGRES_DATABASE: activepieces
      AP_POSTGRES_HOST: postgres
      AP_POSTGRES_PORT: "5432"
      AP_POSTGRES_USERNAME: activepieces
      AP_POSTGRES_PASSWORD: activepieces
      AP_REDIS_HOST: redis
      AP_ENCRYPTION_KEY: your-32-char-encryption-key-here
      AP_JWT_SECRET: your-jwt-secret-here
      AP_FRONTEND_URL: https://auto.example.com

  postgres:
    image: postgres:16
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: activepieces
      POSTGRES_USER: activepieces
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: activepieces
    volumes: [pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data]

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine

volumes:
  pgdata:
Step 2: Code Step
// Inside Activepieces Code step
export const code = async (inputs) => {
  const { data } = inputs
  return {
    processed: data.items.map(item => ({
      name: item.name.toUpperCase(),
      total: item.price * item.quantity,
    })),
    grandTotal: data.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0),
  }
}
Step 3: Custom Piece (Integration)
// pieces/my-app/src/index.ts — Build custom integration
import { createPiece } from '@activepieces/pieces-framework'
import { newOrderTrigger } from './triggers/new-order'
import { createInvoiceAction } from './actions/create-invoice'

export const myApp = createPiece({
  displayName: 'My App',
  auth: PieceAuth.SecretText({ displayName: 'API Key' }),
  triggers: [newOrderTrigger],
  actions: [createInvoiceAction],
})

Guidelines

  • Self-hosted: completely free, unlimited flows and executions.
  • Cloud: free tier with 1,000 tasks/month.
  • Newer than n8n — cleaner UI, growing fast, but fewer integrations.
  • TypeScript-first code steps and custom pieces.

# Activepieces

## Overview

Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform — the newest Zapier/n8n alternative. Visual builder, 200+ integrations, code steps, branching, loops, and webhooks. Self-hosted for free with unlimited flows.

## Instructions

### Step 1: Self-Host

```yaml
# docker-compose.yml — Activepieces with PostgreSQL and Redis
services:
  activepieces:
    image: activepieces/activepieces:latest
    ports: ["8080:80"]
    environment:
      AP_ENGINE_EXECUTABLE_PATH: dist/packages/engine/main.js
      AP_POSTGRES_DATABASE: activepieces
      AP_POSTGRES_HOST: postgres
      AP_POSTGRES_PORT: "5432"
      AP_POSTGRES_USERNAME: activepieces
      AP_POSTGRES_PASSWORD: activepieces
      AP_REDIS_HOST: redis
      AP_ENCRYPTION_KEY: your-32-char-encryption-key-here
      AP_JWT_SECRET: your-jwt-secret-here
      AP_FRONTEND_URL: https://auto.example.com

  postgres:
    image: postgres:16
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: activepieces
      POSTGRES_USER: activepieces
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: activepieces
    volumes: [pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data]

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine

volumes:
  pgdata:
```

### Step 2: Code Step

```typescript
// Inside Activepieces Code step
export const code = async (inputs) => {
  const { data } = inputs
  return {
    processed: data.items.map(item => ({
      name: item.name.toUpperCase(),
      total: item.price * item.quantity,
    })),
    grandTotal: data.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price * i.quantity, 0),
  }
}
```

### Step 3: Custom Piece (Integration)

```typescript
// pieces/my-app/src/index.ts — Build custom integration
import { createPiece } from '@activepieces/pieces-framework'
import { newOrderTrigger } from './triggers/new-order'
import { createInvoiceAction } from './actions/create-invoice'

export const myApp = createPiece({
  displayName: 'My App',
  auth: PieceAuth.SecretText({ displayName: 'API Key' }),
  triggers: [newOrderTrigger],
  actions: [createInvoiceAction],
})
```

## Guidelines

- Self-hosted: completely free, unlimited flows and executions.
- Cloud: free tier with 1,000 tasks/month.
- Newer than n8n — cleaner UI, growing fast, but fewer integrations.
- TypeScript-first code steps and custom pieces.

  • Dependency or permission surface needs review
  • Permission surface may require sandboxing
  • Quality score needs review
  • Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

  1. 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
  2. 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
  3. 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Agent access

This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
