Workflow Automation for Developer Teams

Stop building state machines.
Ship your automation in a day.

Approvals, scheduled tasks, multi-channel notifications, integration flows — define them visually or as JSON. ChannelOS handles state, retries, and delivery. You call one API.

                    # Trigger a workflow from your app
                    POST /api/v1/runtime/start
                    Authorization: Bearer {runtime_token}

                    {
                    "workflowId":
                    "1",
                    "inputJson":
                    "{\"customerId\": \"c-001\"}"
                    }

                    → engine handles state, retries, timers, and
                        notifications
                

The problem

You need workflow automation.
Every option has a catch.

Approvals, scheduled tasks, integration flows, notification routing — you need them. Here's what happens when you try to build them:

Option	The catch
Build it yourself	✗3–6 months. Timers, state machines, retry, parallelism — all hard to get right
Embed n8n / Temporal	✗Requires DevOps, separate service, complex multi-tenant integration
Use Zapier / Make	✗Per-task pricing explodes fast. No code control. Not built for developers.

How it compares

ChannelOS vs the alternatives

Different tools, different trade-offs. Here's the honest picture.

	Build it yourself	n8n / Temporal	Zapier / Make	ChannelOS
No DevOps required	High effort	Separate service	✓ None	✓ None
Visual workflow editor	Build it	✓ (self-hosted)	✓ (their UI)	✓ Included
Developer control	✓	✓	✗ No code control	✓ API-first
Deploy complexity	High	High	None	None
Time to production	Months	Weeks	Days	1 day
Email, Telegram, WhatsApp Business	Integrate each	Plugins	Add-ons	✓ Executors ready

Capabilities

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Production-ready out of the box. Your environment is provisioned in one day — your team has a complete automation platform.

🏗️

prod / staging environments

Separate credentials and isolated data per environment. Deploy to staging, validate, then promote to production — without touching your live setup.

🎨

Visual workflow editor

A full visual editor — included. Design, modify, and publish workflows without touching code.

⚡

Powerful C++ engine

State survives restarts. Timers don't drift. Parallel branches, foreach, cron, signal waits, retries — built for the workflows you'd regret implementing yourself.

📡

Ready-made executors

HTTP requests, Email, Telegram, WhatsApp Business (own account), Google Sheets, HTML email templates (Handlebars), manual approval tasks.

🔒

Security first

Secrets store, rate limiting, per-tenant auth isolation, full audit trail for every operation.

🔗

API-first

Every operation is a REST call. Define workflows as JSON, trigger instances, query status, stream real-time events via SSE — fully scriptable.

🚀

Versioning & deploys

Tag workflow versions, deploy to staging first, then promote to production. Running instances are never interrupted — they finish on the version they started.

📥

Inbound signals

Pause a workflow at any step and resume it when an external event arrives — a webhook callback, a payment confirmation, a manual approval. No polling.

How it works

From zero to running workflow in one day

We handle the infrastructure. You handle the integration.

We provision your environment

You get a dedicated environment with separate admin and runtime credentials. Nothing to deploy on your end.

Define your workflows

Use the visual flow editor or POST workflow JSON via API. Publish a version, deploy it — new instances use it immediately.

Trigger workflows from your application

Call the runtime API when something happens in your product — a form submitted, a payment received, a schedule fired. The engine handles state, retries, timers, and parallel branches.

Monitor via admin console or API

Live instance tracking, step-by-step audit log, and manual task management — built-in console or fully programmable via API.
