Umbraco Automate

Umbraco Automate is an event-driven automation engine built into the Umbraco backoffice. Build workflows with triggers and actions, no external platforms required.

Umbraco Automate brings event-driven automation directly into Umbraco CMS. You build workflows on a visual canvas in the backoffice by combining triggers (events that start a flow) with actions (units of work). No external automation platform is needed.

An automation built in the visual canvas editor.

Key Features

• Visual canvas editor — Build automations by dragging triggers and actions onto a canvas and connecting them.
• Built-in triggers and actions — React to content, media, and member events. Make HTTP requests, send email, publish content, and more.
• Add-on packages — Install packages such as Slack, Forms, Commerce, Engage, AI, and Deploy to add more triggers and actions.
• Workspaces — Group automations and scope which connections and users have access.
• Connections — Reusable credential sets for external services such as Slack.
• Bindings — Pass data between steps using ${ ... } syntax with filters.
• Run history — Every run is recorded with per-step inputs, outputs, errors, and timing.
