## Context and Problem Statement

We need a tool to integrate our tools and automate the workflows. Any manual steps of the workflows should be informed to the owners of the workflow with a message, so a chatops bot can really help.

## Decision Drivers

There are a lot of processes and operations that are done manually:

- This'll take a lot of time.
- Sometimes some steps are missed.
- None of these workflows are documentated.
- These workflows don't have an owner.
- We're trying to use Mattermost and we can benefit from the playbooks and chatops for that matter.

## Considered Options

- n8n.io
- Zapier
- Integromat
- IFTTT

## Decision Outcome

Chosen option: n8n. Because:

- Open source and self-hosted and free
- Supports all the tools that we use (Mattermost, Attlasian, Google, Gitlab, etc.)
