Replaces Zapier
European alternatives to Zapier
European automation between your business tools
Browse the category: Low-code and visual programming platforms
Zapier connects the applications a business already uses, so an action in one triggers an action in another: a form entry becomes a CRM record, a payment becomes an invoice, a new file starts a notification. It is aimed at people who do not write code, with a large catalogue of ready made connectors and a step by step editor.
Automation platforms sit in the middle of everything, and the data flowing through them is often the most sensitive a company holds: customer records, invoices, personnel files. Where those workflows execute, and who keeps the API keys to every connected system, deserves a deliberate decision. A European alternative to Zapier puts that hub in the EU. n8n and Activepieces can be self hosted, Make is a hosted automation platform, and RUAL is a further European option.

Questions
Can I run the automation platform myself?
n8n and Activepieces are both designed to run on your own infrastructure, which keeps workflow data and credentials inside your network. Make and RUAL are the hosted route if you would rather not operate a server.
Do these have connectors for the tools I use?
Connector catalogues differ, and every one of these also supports generic HTTP requests for services that are not covered. Check the integrations you rely on with Make or n8n before you migrate.
Can they handle more complex logic than simple triggers?
Branching, loops and custom code steps are common in this category, and n8n in particular is popular with technical teams. List your trickiest workflow and test that one first.
