Components

Everything in flow: Automation in Nextcloud Hub

Integrated workflow app

With the integrated workflow app, users and administrators can set up automated responses to events in Nextcloud for example, a chat message when uploading to a folder or locking sensitive documents when accessed from certain IP ranges.

The Open Collaboration Services API is a standard developed by Nextcloud that makes it easier for developers to seamlessly integrate external tools and applications into the collaborative content editing platform.

Windmill is an open-source solution for powerful process automation. Integrated into Nextcloud Flow, it enables business users to orchestrate complex workflows using “bricks” – executing actions in Nextcloud, responding to inputs, and integrating external data.

Nextcloud Tables is the alternative to Microsoft SharePoint Lists and Airtable that supports companies, administrations, and organizations in managing structured data. For example, you can centrally manage absences, customer data, and much more.
