Retool Workflows is now generally available

Retool Workflows is a newly launched visual automation tool that combines the ease of drag-and-drop interfaces with the flexibility of coding, specifically designed for engineers to handle complex workflows. Unlike similar tools like Zapier or Workato, it offers a self-hostable solution that can manage intricate processes which are often challenging in low-code platforms. Built on the durable Temporal execution engine, it supports long-running, production-grade tasks with extensive features including customizable logic blocks, developer-grade debugging, and integration with Retool's app builder. This makes it suitable for a variety of applications, such as automating manual processes, creating custom alerts, or serving as a backend API. Notably, companies like RE/MAX Holdings Inc. and EquipmentShare have leveraged Workflows to streamline alerts and automate internal processes, respectively. Retool Workflows is available for both cloud-hosted and on-premise instances, allowing users to start building for free and scale according to their needs.
