Automatisch

★ 12k

The most literal open-source Zapier: pick a trigger app, pick an action app, connect. Docker compose install.

Automatisch does the job of Zapier, self-hosted. It is AGPL-licensed, so a hosted fork has to publish its changes, and it installs in about one command. Zapier bills $20/mo for it. 12k stars on GitHub.
