Getting Started

Rapidomize platform allows you to rapidly build, deploy, and run services & applications. The platform provides workflows & widgets to build your services & applications easily.

In Rapidomize platform, we name a workflow as Intelligent Connected App, in short . Each workflow () consists of at least two Nodes.

The first Node of a workflow starts execution of the workflow service/application logic. This first Node is called a Trigger and other Nodes in the workflow are called Actions. Actions can process/tranform your data or connect to remote services such as SaaS apps, integrate to your ERP systems, or databases to send, receive or store data.
