Build any workflow. Run it automatically.

Orbit's visual automation builder lets you create trigger-based workflows on a canvas. Send updates, post internal alerts, push data to billing — without anyone touching it.

Who it's for

  • MSPs running repeatable workflows (welcome, follow-up, escalation)
  • Service teams cutting manual admin
  • Internal IT teams formalizing common request flows
  • Anyone running the same playbook ten times a week

The problem it solves

The work that happens because someone remembers to do it is the work that breaks when they're out. Manual welcome emails, manual follow-ups, manual time reports — every repeat task is a tax on the team.

How it works

The flow, end to end

1

Pick a trigger

Ticket created, status changed, time logged, invoice overdue, schedule-based — any platform event.

2

Define the action

Send an email, post an internal note, update a field, create a follow-up task, fire a webhook.

3

Add conditions

Only run for premium clients, only after-hours, only for certain categories — full conditional logic.
