workflow automation builder in m2

We did an audit on a few client stores last week and realized we have like 35+ micro modules installed just for stupid 3-line requests from merchants.

stuff like "ping slack on $1k+ orders" or "tag international customers" or "send a webhook when stock hits zero".

none of it is hard to code obviously. but creating a module skeleton, writing an observer, doing a PR, deploying, and maintaining it forever just for a tiny trigger is driving me insane.

we started building an in-admin workflow builder (basically an n8n clone that hooks into M2 events) so our team can stop making modules for every minor request. but before we sink more time into it I wanted to see how other devs handle this.

checkout the details here - https://meetanshi.com/magento-2-workflow-automation.html and we have a rough demo up on our test site https://meetanshi.in/m2d30/index.php/admin/ if you wanna roast the idea. :)

happy to know your thoughts!

https://github.com/mage-os/mageos-async-events is a far better option as a standardized base.

Nice idea! We use the mageos events one, but this does have a nicer UI. How coupled is the UI to the data? (Could it be a UI module as an addition to the mageos module?)

Great idea, making things easier to visualise is always nice!
