Designing automation teams can trust

Security, isolation, and observability are not features you bolt on later — they're the foundation.

When automations touch email, files, and customer records, trust isn't optional. Here's how we think about it from day one.

Least-privilege by default

Every connector authorization is scoped to exactly what a workflow needs, and nothing more. Credentials are encrypted at rest and isolated per tenant.

Observability for every run

You can inspect every step of every run: inputs, outputs, timing, and the exact prompt an AI step used. When something goes wrong, you know why.

Self-hostable

For teams with strict requirements, Workflow runs in your own cloud or VPC with a signable DPA. Your data never leaves your boundary.

We believe these properties are what make automation safe to adopt at scale — so we're building them in from the start, not after the fact.
