Paste a key.
The app is connected.
COWE talks to 196 of the tools businesses already run. Connecting one means pasting in an API key you generate — no integration project, no developer, nothing new to install. Every key is encrypted with a key you control, and you can disconnect an app the same afternoon.
What it can do, once it’s connected
You set these up on a diagram rather than in code. They are all available from the start — you just decide which ones a given process uses.
account_tree Getting the work done
Decisions it makes for you
Set up automatic rules that route business tasks down different paths depending on live data—without writing complex code.
Several things at once
Run multiple operations at the exact same time to speed up customer fulfillment, combining the results when finished.
Apps that don’t normally talk
Easily translate and organize data between steps so all your different software systems speak the exact same language.
Starts on its own
Start automated workflows immediately when a key event happens—such as a new customer order or a scheduled time.
Cleans up after a job that fails
If a multi-step business process fails halfway through (e.g., inventory reserved but payment processing fails), COWE automatically undoes completed steps—issuing refunds and releasing stock without manual IT work.
Pick a job up from where it stopped
When a temporary outage or human error halts an ongoing order or customer onboarding, rewind the workflow directly to the step before the interruption occurred. Resume operations instantly without forcing customers to start over.
Start a job from your own system
Trigger and track workflows from your own systems over a secure REST API. Issue scoped, revocable per-organization API keys for server-to-server automation — no dashboard required.
Describe it and it drafts it
Describe a process in plain language and COWE generates a ready-to-run workflow for you to review, adjust, and deploy — turning an idea into working automation in minutes.
See what’s running right now
Watch every run in real time. State changes stream live to your dashboard the instant they happen, so you always know exactly where each process is — running, waiting, or complete.
Blueprints to start from
Start from a curated library of ready-made workflow packs. Install a complete, best-practice process in one click, then customise it to fit your business.
table_chart Deciding what to do (Pro and up · beta)
Rules live in a table, not in code
Discount bands, approval limits, which queue a ticket lands in — the rules that change most often are usually buried deepest. Keep them in a grid your finance or ops lead can read: amount, tier, discount, needs-approval.
Every decision shows its working
When a customer queries their discount months later, the trail names the exact row that decided it and the version of the table that was live at the time. A number calculated inside code can answer neither question.
Change a rule without holding your breath
Publish a new version and it takes effect for new work immediately. Anything already part-way through finishes on the rules it started with, so nobody is repriced mid-checkout and you never have to wait for a quiet moment.
Edit in a grid, try before you publish
Change the numbers in a grid in the portal, then run a sample order through the draft and see which row fires and what it pays out, before publishing. Test the awkward edges — exactly on a threshold, a brand-new customer — which is where pricing mistakes actually hide. The editor is in beta: safe with real data, still settling.
An open standard, not our private format
Tables are DMN, the decision standard that sits alongside BPMN. Build one in any DMN editor — Camunda’s is free — import it, and it runs. Export it again whenever you like. Your rules stay portable.
Dates and deadlines it gets right
“Invoiced more than thirty days ago”, “expires this quarter”, “arrived after close of business” — write them as dates and durations and they are compared as moments, not as text. Timestamps, time zones and month lengths behave the way a calendar does rather than the way a sorted list does.
A cell can work it out
An output does not have to be a number you typed. Five percent of the order, thirty days after the invoice date, a reference built from the customer’s tier — a cell can compute it from the columns the table already reads, so the arithmetic lands in the audit trail beside the rule that produced it instead of disappearing into code.
Big decisions built from small ones
A lending decision needs an affordability score and a risk band first. Keep each one its own small table and say which comes first, instead of one sprawling grid nobody can check or three steps wired across a diagram. The answer arrives as a single decision — and the trail shows the score that produced it right next to it.
Twenty decisions ready to edit
Discounts, support triage, credit grading, shipping, payment terms, delivery promises, fraud scoring, refunds, SLA targets, approval limits, compliance checks, VAT, warranties, onboarding risk and more ship with COWE. Install one, then change the numbers in the portal — or author in any DMN editor and import it. Four of them come as linked sets, so you can see how a decision built on other decisions is put together.

shield_person Keeping customer details safe
Personal Details Hidden On Screen
ID numbers, card numbers, phone numbers and email addresses are hidden everywhere a run is viewed — the dashboard, the history and the replay. The workflow keeps using the real values to do its job; the people watching it only ever see a placeholder. On by default, and switchable per organisation when your auditors need the full detail.
A Hidden Value Can’t Overwrite A Real One
If a screen was only ever showing a placeholder, saving that screen must not wipe the customer’s real details. COWE refuses the write — on the live variables, on operator edits, and on the rewind paths — so a routine edit can never quietly destroy the data behind it.
Apps say which fields are personal
Rather than guessing from the shape of a value, the app that fetched it says outright which fields are personal — a name, an address, a salary, things no pattern can recognise. That decision is recorded against the run, so a field stays protected even after someone edits the workflow later.
Encrypted Rewind History
Every rewind restores from a saved checkpoint of what the workflow knew at that moment. Those checkpoints are encrypted with your organisation’s own key — so a database backup or a replica carries no readable copy of your customers’ data.
On-Premise Steps, Complete Records
Some steps have to run against a system that never leaves your building. COWE runs those on a worker inside your own network, and the full account comes back to your dashboard — every action, every response, and the actual reason when something fails — on the same timeline as the rest of the workflow. Available on Enterprise, and billed as one standard task per step that completes.
Readable Records, Bounded Size
A vendor error page or a bulk response can be enormous. Audit entries are capped at a readable length — keeping the message and error code, which sit at the front — so one oversized reply never bloats your history, your storage bill, or the feed into your own security monitoring.
Two of them, side by side
One makes a decision; the other does three things at once. Both were set up by picking a blueprint and pasting in keys.
Scenario 1: E-Commerce VIP Priority Routing
Try switching between order amounts below. Watch how the exclusive decision gateway dynamically routes the workflow in real-time.
Scenario 2: Automated Employee Onboarding
A Parallel Gateway splits execution threads instantly. Click simulate to see IT, HR, and Security tasks execute simultaneously in parallel.
Scenario 3: Omni-Channel Order Notifications
An Inclusive Gateway fires every path that matches — not just one like an exclusive decision, and not always all like a parallel fork. When an order ships, each channel the customer opted into goes out at once. Compare a customer who chose everything with one who only wants an SMS.
Featured apps
Most call the provider's API directly with the key you paste in. Some are local steps — they generate, parse or transform a file to the provider's specification rather than calling out (ISO 20022 payment files, EDI documents, regulatory formats), so they need no key at all. A few are verified with automated tests against the live API (Xero, HubSpot, Paystack, SimplePay); the rest are in beta. Each app's catalogue entry says which it is. Your credentials stay yours — we never hold a usable copy.
