What is Tines?

With Tines, you can build automation stories to perform almost any manual task, from onboarding employees to escalating security alerts–and everything in between. Tines is no-code, giving your frontline team members automation superpowers.

At the heart of everything we do is the principle that any manual process, whether related to security, HR, operations, or another IT team, can be broken down and automated using eight action types:

  • HTTP request

  • Webhook

  • Send email

  • AI

  • Receive email

  • Event transformation

  • Trigger

  • Send-to-story (nested workflows)

These power every process, regardless of complexity. And, even if you're new to automation, you can learn how to use them all before lunch.

We're proud to say that if it has an API, Tines can connect to it. So, from mainstream solutions to niche and internal tools, Tines connects with your entire stack. No waiting for custom integrations: just the tools you already use, working together like never before.
