Nextcloud Flow: Fewer clicks, more results
01
Fast, visual, self-explanatory
With Nextcloud Flow's intuitive interface, anyone can build workflows no IT skills needed. Rules, triggers, and actions come together with a click, making processes easy to track and adjust anytime. Simple, practical automation that works no training required.
02
Compliance included – by design
Nextcloud Flow runs in your own environment for maximum data protection. Roles, logs, and policies enforce controlled access and compliance. Ideal for high-requirement sectors from public administration to healthcare. Your data stays under full local control.
03
Everything fits together seamlessly
Flow integrates seamlessly with Nextcloud Files, Talk, and other modules. Share files, trigger events, send notifications, everything works together and follows the same UX. Teams work without media breaks, and automations grow with your existing tools. This keeps collaboration consistent and clear.
Features
Simple tools, complex processes – seamlessly automated
Routine tasks completed automatically
Nextcloud Flow takes care of recurring tasks such as sharing, reminders, and document storage. This leaves you more time for value-adding work, while processes run reliably in the background. Rules can be adjusted at any time and grow flexibly with your processes.
Create workflows – without any programming
Employees can build and modify workflows with a single click, tailoring them precisely to their requirements. Templates and reusable building blocks accelerate similar use cases without having to start from scratch. This allows teams to continuously optimize their processes without any programming knowledge.
Seamless integration into the Nextcloud ecosystem
Flow integrates seamlessly with Nextcloud Files, Talk, and other apps. File events trigger steps, notifications provide automatic updates, and everything follows the same user guidance. The result: consistent collaboration without tool breaks and with clear, uniform processes.
Data sovereignty & GDPR – right from the start
Flow is open source and runs on your server or in your private cloud. This means that data remains under your control and compliance is maintained ideal for financial institutions, government agencies, and healthcare providers.
Approvals without back-and-forth
With the Approval app, you can set up fast, traceable approvals. Approvals can be accessed via the sidebar, and workflows can be delegated to individuals or groups without endless coordination.
