Overview

Creatio is a no-code platform combining CRM and business process automation, formerly known as bpm'online before rebranding in 2019. It pairs a CRM suite (Sales, Marketing, and Service Creatio) with a no-code studio and embedded AI agents, positioning business users to build applications and automations without writing code.

The platform's defining strength is its workflow engine and Freedom UI no-code designer, which let business analysts model complex processes such as lead routing, approval chains, and SLA escalations using visual tools and a large library of prebuilt process templates. AI agents are embedded across the CRM applications.

Because Creatio is process-centric and highly extensible, it is often used to orchestrate workflows that span CRM and ERP systems. Integration is achieved through its open APIs, marketplace connectors, and integration tooling to synchronize customer, order, and financial data with back-office platforms.
