What is Kraken Flow: Kraken Flow is set to revolutionize how we manage and automate business processes within Kraken. Imagine a low-code/no-code tool, but one that’s deeply integrated into the Kraken ecosystem. Flow empowers everyone, whether they’re developers or non-developers, to design, build, and automate business processes through a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface.

Designed as an open ecosystem, Flow seamlessly integrates Kraken’s platform services with external systems, unlocking new possibilities for process automation across a variety of tools and platforms. As we continue to develop this powerful tool, safeguarding security and ensuring proper guardrails are a top priority. Collaboration is also key - Flow’s success depends on constant engagement with other Kraken teams to ensure it’s integrated where it brings the most value.
