I Built an Open-Source Automation Toolkit for Appy Pie Automate (600+ App Connectors)

#python #opensource #automation #workflow

If you've ever wanted to automate repetitive tasks between apps — sending a Slack message when a new HubSpot contact arrives, logging Shopify orders to Google Sheets, or getting SMS alerts for Stripe payments — you know how much time it saves.

I've been working on an open-source Python toolkit that makes it easy to build, test, and explore workflow automations powered by Appy Pie Automate — a no-code platform connecting 600+ apps.

What I Built

The Appy Pie Automate Toolkit is a Streamlit dashboard + Python library with:

⚡ Visual Workflow Builder — Design multi-step automations
🔌 24+ App Connectors — Pre-built definitions for Gmail, Slack, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, GitHub, Jira, and more
📋 15 Ready Templates — Deploy automations in one click
🔗 Webhook Tester — Verify, sign, and debug webhooks
📊 Analytics Dashboard — Monitor workflow stats

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/devendra-droid/appypie-automate-toolkit.git
cd appypie-automate-toolkit
pip install -r requirements.txt
streamlit run app.py

Opens at http://localhost:8501 🎉

Python API Example

from src.connectors import registry
from src.workflows import engine, templates

# Browse available connectors
connectors = registry.get_all_connectors()
print(f"Available: {len(connectors)} app connectors")

# Build a workflow
workflow = engine.build_workflow(
    name="New Lead Alert",
    trigger={"app": "HubSpot", "event": "New Contact"},
    actions=[
        {"app": "Slack",  "event": "Send Message"},
        {"app": "Gmail",  "event": "Send Email"},
    ],
)

# Export to JSON
