Alternatives
Zapier alternative: Steppa (early access)
Steppa is planned as a Zapier alternative for small teams with a lot of operations work. It isn't built yet. Zapier already builds workflows by chat and prices by tasks. Steppa will build from a plain-English description, run the job, keep a record of every run and ask you only for decisions.
