Overview

What is Workato?

Workato is an enterprise automation and integration platform that connects applications, data, APIs, business processes, and AI agents in a single environment. It combines iPaaS, workflow automation, API management, data orchestration, RPA, intelligent document processing, and AI capabilities. Teams can build automated workflows using a low-code recipe builder, connect thousands of business applications, and orchestrate processes across cloud and on-premises systems. Its newer agentic capabilities allow organizations to build, deploy, monitor, and govern AI agents that can take actions across connected enterprise systems.
