It enables users to connect over 3,000 APIs with more than 10,000 pre-built tools, build automated workflows with a visual builder, and deploy AI agents using natural language prompts. Pipedream provides an end-to-end developer toolkit including the Connect SDK for adding integrations to any application, MCP servers for consumers and developers, and a credit-based pricing model with a generous free tier. Acquired by Workday in November 2025, Pipedream is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant, designed for production workloads handling sensitive data.
Core Products
- Workflow Builder: Visually build automated workflows that connect APIs and services. Trigger workflows on schedules (every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, or quarter), webhooks, emails, or events from integrated apps. Supports complex branching, parallel execution, and error handling.
- AI Agent Builder: Prompt, run, edit, and deploy AI agents in seconds using natural language. Agents can interact with any connected API, process data, and make decisions autonomously within defined guardrails.
- Pipedream Connect: An SDK that provides the developer toolkit to add any integration to your own app or agent in minutes, handling authentication, token management, and API interactions.
- MCP Servers: Add over 3,000 APIs with 10,000-plus tools to any MCP-compatible agent in minutes through Pipedream's MCP server infrastructure.
Key Capabilities
- Pre-built Integrations: Connect to services including Supabase, Shopify, Google Drive, Linear, Notion, Google Sheets, Anthropic, OpenAI, Slack, GitHub, and thousands more with managed authentication.
- Code-Level Control: Write custom Node.js, Python, or Bash code steps within workflows for unlimited flexibility alongside no-code connectors.
- Event Sources: Monitor APIs for new events like incoming emails, new database rows, GitHub issues, or form submissions, and trigger workflows in real time.
- Credit-Based Compute: Pay only for compute time used during workflow execution with a free tier that includes daily invocation limits and access to all features.
Use Cases
- AI Agent Deployment: Build and deploy AI agents that summarize emails, categorize support tickets, monitor brand mentions, or generate content automatically.
- API Integration Pipelines: Connect disparate SaaS tools, databases, and internal APIs into unified data pipelines without managing infrastructure.
- Developer Automation: Automate GitHub-to-Linear issue creation, deploy notifications, CI/CD triggers, and code review workflows.
- Business Process Automation: Sync data between CRM, marketing, and support tools; trigger alerts based on business metrics; and automate reporting.
Pricing
Pipedream uses a credit-based pricing model where you pay for compute time consumed during workflow execution. The free tier includes a generous allowance of credits with daily invocation limits, access to all integrations and features, and is suitable for side projects and development. Paid plans unlock higher credit limits, longer execution timeouts, and dedicated support for production workloads. Enterprise plans with custom pricing are available for organizations needing advanced security, dedicated infrastructure, and priority SLAs.
Security and Compliance
Pipedream holds SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR certifications with DPA agreements available. The platform is designed for modern development teams handling sensitive data, with encryption at rest and in transit, granular access controls, and audit logging.
Community and Ecosystem
Pipedream maintains an active open-source community on GitHub with pre-built workflow templates, component libraries, and community-contributed integrations. The platform supports multiple programming languages including Node.js, Python, and Bash for custom code steps. Extensive documentation, tutorials, and a community forum help developers get started quickly and share automation patterns. With the Workday acquisition, Pipedream continues to expand its integration ecosystem while maintaining its developer-first approach and open-source foundations.
Pipedream is trusted by over one million developers worldwide.
