Integrations

Processes, Frends term for integrations, offer a straightforward way to connect your various systems and applications, ensuring everything works together seamlessly. By automating tasks and orchestrating workflows, Processes help streamline operations, reduce manual workload, and minimize the chance of errors—boosting the productivity of your team.

The Frends platform provides an intuitive setup, making it accessible even if you're not a coding pro. Its flexible framework supports a wide range of integration needs, whether you're dealing with on-premises systems, cloud-based applications, or a combination of both in a hybrid deployment. With Frends, adapting to changes and staying responsive to business demands is much more manageable, keeping you well-prepared for future challenges.

Low-code Development

Frends uses BPMN 2.0 notation to define APIs, integrate systems, and automate processes. Frends provides enhancements to the notation with Handlebars-enabled C# programming, making it possible to create most anything that is visually pleasing, easy for non-programmers to read and understand, and requiring only minimal programming by the developer.

Connectors

In Frends, we have Tasks instead of what is more commonly known as connectors, that perform actions towards other systems. Each Process also requires a starting condition or event listener to start, which is done using Triggers in Frends.

Reusable Content

In order to keep up with DRY principle (Don't Repeat Yourself), Frends includes Subprocesses and Environment Variables to allow defining functionality and values once and reusing them in your Processes.

Templates

Frends Templates are pre-built structures designed to expedite workflow creation and integration processes. They serve as a blueprint that aids in maintaining consistency and minimizing potential errors. By utilizing these Templates, users can save significant time in setting up new integrations, as they provide a reliable and tested starting point tailored for various common tasks.
