How is it different from Zapier?

Hi , glad you asked. With Zoho Flow you can build complex workflows using decision logic with multiple conditions, each of them executing a set of actions. You can also have other logical elements like Delay and Custom Function using Deluge (our own drag and drop scripting environment), taking the possibilities to a whole different level. All of this, you can do with a very intuitive drag and drop visual builder. Not to mention, Zoho Flow is part of the entire Zoho One ecosystem which includes 40+ business apps. It goes further than any competitor in achieving more complex workflow possibilities.
Zapier also has delays and custom webhooks, scripts, ... And it works with 1000+ apps, not 40. Not saying some competition for Zapier isn't good, but please make informed comparisons.

Hi , when I said 40 I meant 40 Zoho apps. We have just released with 100 apps and when I say going ahead of competitors, I mean the complex business workflows that our users will be able to solve using our Decision (with branching), delays and Custom Function features. I did not mean to pin point a features here. Do try and let us know your feedback at .

Hey Neeraj , thank you for hunting Zoho Flow. We are thrilled with this milestone launch, and you made our day. Flow is an integration platform that helps you create flexible workflows between web apps to automate the routine and complex tasks of your business. A workflow or what we call Flow, consists of a trigger and one or more actions. A trigger is an event that sets the Flow in motion and actions are the tasks that follow. For example, you can set a Flow in motion when a new ticket is created in a helpdesk software (the trigger), and automatically send an alert message to your team's communication channel (the action). Visually Intuitive Builder: We have made sure the entire process of creating a Flow is simple. With a drag and drop interface, that is also visually intuitive, the builder removes most of the complexities usually faced when building integrations. Powerful Logic elements: The platform includes Logic functions that help you introduce decision branches and set waiting times between tasks. You can also insert custom functions in your workflows using Deluge, Zoho's easy to use scripting language. Well Crafted Business Apps Onboard: Zoho Flow hosts over 100 business applications on its platform, and the list is going to double in the coming months. Not just that, there are over 200 pre-built Flows for you to use right away. We are offering 2 months extended trial exclusively for Product Hunt users. Visit zoho.com/flow and share your thoughts with us at . Cheers, Rahul

Thank you :)
Wonder how Microsoft feel about the name given their "Microsoft Flow" product is essentially address the same problem space.
Maker
Hello . Just a coincidence :) . We had filed for this name even before Microsoft Flow got launched.
Awesome. Zoho is coming out with some great products. People frequently use Google map based geolocation trigger and flow is critically missing this integration. Also, please let us know if Zoho flow is coming out with its own mobile app in near term.
Maker
Thank you for your kind words. When you say geolocation trigger, is it mobile based, for eg, you want the trigger to happen when you reach a place? As of now, we are not planning for a mobile app in the near term. If you are looking for any use cases, please share the same via
Yup. You got it right about location trigger. Meanwhile, Facebook and Instagram trigger will be much appreciated.
Maker
Sure. We already have Facebook and Instagram in our list of todo apps.
This looks very interesting. It seems that the API market is getting really hot :) Good luck team!
Maker
Thank you ! Do share your feedback to too.
it looks nice, however, would be great to have WordPress integration! very useful for bloggers and publishers!
Maker
Hello , we have plans to bring in WordPress on our platform.
still waiting for wordpress... any ETA?
Maker
Apologies for the late reply . We are looking at a set of other apps. Once those are added we will try to pick Wordpress. At this point I can't comment on the ETA. My sincere apologies.
We'd love to add as an app - what do we need to do?
Maker
Hi . Thanks for asking. Please write to .
Missing Google Adwords, Google Analytic, and Facebook Ads. Can only evaluate after including this 2 major platform. Anyway, congratulations on the launch. Have been using ZOHO CRM for a year now and happy for it.
Maker
