On-premise integrations connect software systems hosted within an organization’s own infrastructure with other applications or services. In Activepieces, users who self-host the platform can connect to on-premise systems via APIs, making it possible to integrate legacy tools and private databases with modern workflows.
On-premise integrations refer to the connections made between applications that run locally in an organization’s servers, data centers, or private environments.
Unlike SaaS or cloud-based systems, on-premise software is installed and maintained within the organization’s own infrastructure, often for reasons of security, compliance, or customization.
Integrating these systems with cloud-based services or modern automation platforms can be challenging because they are not always accessible externally. On-premise integrations provide a bridge, allowing data and processes to move between local and remote environments.
In Activepieces, on-premise integrations are made possible when the platform is self-hosted. By running Activepieces within your organization’s infrastructure, you can connect securely to internal systems via APIs, combining the control of on-premise software with the flexibility of cloud-style automation.
On-premise integrations typically work by enabling communication between local systems and integration platforms through APIs or middleware. In Activepieces, the process looks like this:
This model makes it possible to modernize legacy processes while keeping critical systems behind firewalls.
On-premise integrations are important because many organizations still rely on systems that cannot or should not be moved to the cloud. These include financial software, compliance-related tools, or custom-built applications tailored to specific business needs.
Key reasons they matter include:
For Activepieces, supporting on-premise integrations ensures the platform can serve not just cloud-first companies but also enterprises with stricter requirements and complex environments.
On-premise integrations are widely used in industries where data sensitivity and regulatory control are critical. Examples in Activepieces include:
These scenarios show how on-premise integrations extend automation into environments where cloud-only solutions fall short.
On-premise integrations are connections between locally hosted systems and other applications, enabling workflows that move data and tasks securely between private and external environments.
They are important because many organizations still rely on local systems for compliance, security, or legacy reasons. On-premise integrations allow those systems to work with modern tools without compromising control.
Activepieces supports on-premise integrations when self-hosted. Running inside an organization’s infrastructure allows Activepieces to connect directly to internal systems via APIs, enabling secure and flexible workflows.
