Switch from Zapier to Sovrium

Move your automations next to your own data, self-hosted, and stop paying per task — re-declare each Zap as config triggers and actions.

What switching actually involves

Zaps move data between SaaS apps; Sovrium automations act on data you already own. Switching means modelling that data in Sovrium, then re-creating each Zap as a config automation (triggers + actions). Workflows that touch your records run in-platform with no per-task meter; long-tail SaaS connections become HTTP integrations.

What you gain by switching

Predictable cost

No per-task meter on self-hosted Sovrium — volume doesn’t inflate the bill.

Data proximity

Automations act directly on your own records instead of shuttling data between apps.

Residency

Workflows run on your infrastructure, keeping sensitive data in-house.

Reviewable automations

Triggers and actions become Git config you can review and roll back.

When not to switch yet

Keep Zapier when:

Most of your automations connect long-tail SaaS apps Sovrium doesn’t integrate yet.

Your task volume is low and per-task pricing is cheap.

Non-technical users rely on Zapier’s UI and you don’t want config.

Switching from Zapier — FAQ

How do I re-create a Zap in Sovrium?

Declare a config automation with the equivalent trigger and action steps. Record, schedule and webhook triggers all map directly.

What about app connectors I rely on?

Connections to your own data become built-in actions; third-party SaaS calls become HTTP integrations.

Will I stop paying per task?

Yes — self-hosted Sovrium has no per-task meter.

Do automations run on my infrastructure?

Yes — self-hosted, so sensitive data stays in-house.

Is there a managed option?

Yes — Sovrium Cloud hosts everything for you in France.

Can non-technical users still help?

Automations are config, so technical owners define them; the trade-off is reviewability and no per-task cost.
