Build automations across all your applications

Instant Connectors

Merlion builds connectors instantly for any application with an API? APIs are the standard way for automation platforms to connect applications. Most modern business apps have APIs.

Other automation platforms require you to wait weeks or months if a connector is not available, even if the APIs are there.

No Code, No Drag, No Drop

Merlion asks you questions using real scenarios, not code, not low-code

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Merlion and how does it work?

Merlion is an automation platform that builds connections between your applications instantly. Unlike traditional automation tools, Merlion uses a conversational approach where it asks you questions about real business scenarios rather than requiring you to code, drag, or drop elements to create workflows.

To build instant connectors, Merlion communicates with your applications' APIs to understand the data and actions available.

Merlion was created after building hundreds of integrations for real customers on other platforms, and learning the hard way that traditional automation tools are not just expensive, but also hard to maintain.

What is an API and why does it matter for automation?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is like a bridge that allows different software applications to communicate and share data with each other. Most modern business applications have APIs, which is what makes automation possible. You don't need to understand how APIs work technically - Merlion handles all the technical details for you.

What makes Merlion different from other automation tools like Zapier, Make, or Microsoft Power Automate?

Merlion's key differentiator is its "no code, no drag, no drop" approach. Instead of building workflows visually or through code, Merlion asks you questions about your actual business scenarios and builds the automations for you. It also creates instant connectors for any application with an API, eliminating the wait time for new integrations.

What applications can Merlion connect to, and can it work with custom or proprietary systems?

Merlion can connect to any application that has an API by building instant connectors. This includes popular business applications (like Salesforce, Gmail, Slack, QuickBooks), custom-built systems, and proprietary software. If an application doesn't have an API, Merlion's support team can help explore alternative connection methods.

Do I need technical skills to use Merlion, and how long does setup take?

No technical, coding, or low-code skills are required. Merlion guides you through setup using natural language questions about your business processes.

Once questions are answered, Merlion builds your automation instantly, no human intervention required.

What are the pricing options, and how do I get started?

Currently, Merlion is in a waitlist phase. We aim to price similarly to existing small-business automation tools. Sign up for the waitlist to receive early access and pricing information.

How secure and reliable is Merlion, and what happens to my data?

Merlion saves your automation data to an encrypted, logically separated database that is not shared with any other customers.

To build its instant connectors for all customers, Merlion also stores programatically sanitized and anonymized automation data in its own application databases that are not linked to any customers or individuals.

To enable the workflow building experience, Merlion also stores the minimum amount of information required to have separate user accounts: your email address, name, and company name. We do not sell your data to third parties.
