As a Tines Community Champion and someone who’s spent countless hours building and experimenting with flows, I can confidently say that Tines is one of the most flexible and intuitive automation platforms out there. What I love most is how it empowers you to automate anything you can imagine, no matter how complex or simple the use case.
While it’s often used by technical teams like SecOps, DevOps, or IT, Tines has evolved into a tool that’s just as valuable for less technical teams too. The interface is incredibly user-friendly, and the barrier to entry keeps getting lower with every update. A great example of that is the new Story Copilot feature. Your personal automation assistant that helps you build, debug, understand, or even summarize any flow. It’s an absolute game-changer for both new and experienced users.
And of course, I have to mention the Tines support team. They’re hands down the most responsive and helpful team I’ve ever interacted with. No matter what question, issue, or feature request you have, they’re always quick to respond and genuinely eager to help. It really shows how much they care about both the community and improving the product based on real feedback.
Tines isn’t just an automation platform, it’s a community-driven ecosystem that keeps getting better with every release. Couldn’t be prouder to be part of it.

This feels like automation built for real teams, not just perfect demos and it’s great to see it opened up to smaller teams too.

Finally, a tool that doesn't treat 'no-code' like a limitation. Most automation platforms turn into a mess of spaghetti code the moment you need a loop or complex logic, but Tines actually handles that complexity well.
It’s been a massive win for our Ops team; we can finally hit internal API endpoints without having to ask the engineering team to build a custom admin panel every time. Solid release.

Strong positioning.
Moving teams from brittle scripts and patchwork automation into intelligent, resilient workflows is a real step up.
The timing is interesting too, more builders and security operators are publicly sharing their automation setups. Platforms that become part of that conversation usually gain serious momentum.
Starter Edition feels like the right catalyst for that.
Congrats on the launch

It seems like the capabilities are here but I dont see it anywhere explicitly: Could I use tines for onboarding/off-boarding employees? Is it possible to onboard new employees to certain tools by group/team?
@cberg22 We have a whole section in our story library dedicated to handling the employee life cycle. This one specifically is a great example showing how to onboarding new employees and give them access to tools based on their role!
@cberg22@yannickgloster - onboarding/offboarding is one of the most common use cases we'd see teams use Tines for. As Yannick highlighted, the story library is a great starting point. And here's a specific example from a global crypto exchange company who used Tines for exactly that use case. They saved 4hrs onboarding time per new hire.

Congratulations on the launch! You have a very nice design)
Really cool , can try for free and UI is so polished ...super cool app

I can see the focus on security and no code for IT, but from a builder's perspective, what would be the 'killer feature' that would make me switch my workflows from something like n8n over to Tines?
@mythweever I think this post from @thomas_kinsella covers it well. But if I were to say what one of the killer features is for me is, I'd say the story copilot feature. It transforms the speed to build. Game-changer for me.
My recommendation would be to try Tines free community edition the next time you want to build a new workflow. It's easy to sign up to and you can be building in about 60 seconds.
Love that you're opening this to smaller teams. For anyone building lead enrichment or outreach automations with Tines: we have APIs that slot right into workflows — /v1/contact/find gives you email + phone + social from just a name and company (100cr), and /v1/extract pulls structured data from any URL including YouTube transcripts. Both at api.foxapis.com/docs — test live without an account. — Saul

The vendor-agnostic angle is what stands out to me. Most workflow tools quietly lock you into their own connectors, so being able to swap the underlying model or service without rebuilding the whole story matters for anyone running this in production. How does versioning work when a workflow gets edited by both a person and the copilot? I'd want a clean audit trail before I'd trust it with anything touching security alerts.
