#Automation tools
Automation tools are platforms that connect apps and run workflows when something happens, such as a new feed item or a new form entry. Well-known examples include Zapier, Make, IFTTT and the self-hosted n8n. They differ in pricing models, how often they check for changes, how complex a workflow can be and where data is processed. Choosing the right one depends on volume, budget, technical skill and privacy needs. Articles under this tag compare these tools and show how to use them with feeds.
