Business Automation

Business Process Automation

Not every workflow needs an LLM. Sometimes you need reliable file processing, scheduled API calls, conditional routing, and data transforms — executed consistently, every time. IronFlow handles this with 96 built-in nodes in a single binary. When the project calls for a visual builder, we work with n8n and Dify. For AI-powered agent workflows, see our AI Automation page.

IronFlow for Business Workflows

Our Rust workflow engine isn't just for AI pipelines — the majority of its 96 nodes handle everyday business automation.

HTTP & API Integration

  • GET/POST/PUT/DELETE with auth (bearer, API key, OAuth)
  • Webhook receivers for event-driven triggers
  • Response parsing, status routing, body extraction
  • Retry with exponential backoff on failures

File & Document Processing

  • Read, write, copy, move, delete files
  • Word, PDF, HTML, VTT, SRT text extraction
  • PDF merge, split, thumbnails, and image conversion
  • ZIP create, list, and extract

Data Transforms & Routing

  • JSON, CSV, XML, YAML parse and stringify
  • Field selection, renaming, filtering, deduplication
  • Conditional if/switch routing
  • Foreach iteration and batch processing

Database & Storage

  • SQLite queries via sqlx
  • ArangoDB AQL with bind variables
  • S3 operations (get, put, delete, list, copy, presign)
  • In-memory and file-based key-value caching with TTL

Notifications & Output

  • Email via Resend or SMTP
  • Slack webhook notifications
  • Template rendering with Tera
  • Markdown to HTML conversion

Orchestration

  • DAG-based parallel step execution
  • Subworkflow composition and parallel subworkflows
  • Per-step timeouts and error handlers
  • Context interpolation across all steps

Platforms We Work With

When the project calls for a visual builder or a managed platform instead of our toolchain.

n8n & Dify

n8n for visual workflow automation with 500+ integrations, self-hosted for data control, and native AI nodes. Dify for LLM application development with visual prompt chaining. Both are good choices when the team needs a GUI-based builder.

Temporal & Airflow

Temporal for durable, mission-critical workflow execution with automatic retry, recovery, and full history. Apache Airflow for DAG-based data pipeline orchestration with pre-built operators and sensors.

GitHub Actions

CI/CD pipelines, cron-based scheduled tasks, reusable custom actions, and matrix builds. We build Docker-backed workflows for complex build and deployment automation.

Custom Integration

When none of the above fits — IronFlow's REST API and webhook routes let you embed workflow automation into any existing service. Submit Lua scripts via HTTP, trigger flows from external events.
