Albato

Albato is a no code platform that enables users to create integrations between two or more applications without the need for coding. It allows users to quickly synchronize data across or automate workflows and processes by connecting over 600 applications, utilizing more than 170,000 ready scenarios.

Automations in Albato are workflows that enable the automatic transfer of data between different applications. These automations are created by defining triggers and actions within the Albato platform, essentially instructing the system on what to do when specific conditions are met in one application, and how that should affect another application or multiple applications.

Automations can be simple (one trigger leading to one action) or complex, involving multiple steps where a single trigger can set off a series of actions across different applications.

Here's a breakdown of how automations work in Albato:

  • Connections: Connections in Albato are like bridges between Albato and different apps you use, like your email, calendar, or customer list. Connections involves logging in to your apps through Albato and giving permission for these apps to share information. Our platform doesn’t store data and has passed all necessary security certifications, including the main international standard, SOC.

  • Trigger: An event in one application (when something is added or updated) that starts the automation. Triggers can run in real time, at a set frequency, or on a "schedule"For example, receiving a new form submission on your website could be a trigger.

  • Action: What you want another application to do once the trigger event occurs. Actions allow users to create, search or update data in their application account through your API. Additionally, users can transfer information from triggers and the outcomes of other completed actions from one application to another.
    For example, after receiving a new form submission (the trigger), you might want to add that information to a customer relationship management (CRM) system as a new lead (the action).

  • Conditions and Filters: You can specify conditions and filters to ensure that actions are taken only when certain criteria are met, making your automations more precise and tailored to specific needs.

App Integrator

The App Integrator is a versatile tool in Albato for adding new applications (not already in Albato), creating custom integrations for these applications, and updating existing applications with new triggers and actions. These additions and updates can be private for your use or made public for all Albato users, particularly beneficial for app owners wanting to increase their app's visibility and integration capabilities within the Albato ecosystem.

The App Integrator can be found within the Albato user interface. Users can start building their custom integrations by selecting the App Integrator option.

Adding Applications Not in the Library: App Integrator allows you to add new applications to Albato. These added applications initially work privately, just for you or your organization.

Making an application Public: But If you own an application and you've added it to Albato using the App Integrator, you can request Albato to make this application and its integrations available in their public library.

Updating or Adding Triggers and Actions: Besides adding new apps, the App Integrator also lets you update existing applications with new triggers and actions. This is useful for tailoring the apps to better fit your specific needs or workflows. If you're a SaaS owner, you can make these updates available publicly with Albato's approval, expanding the integration options for your product.
