FaaS: Your own logic, without servers
With the iPaaS feature Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), you can put your own logic in cnips exactly where it is needed: Directly in the workflow. Instead of operating additional servers, you can execute serverless functions, check data, enrich it, or make decisions and control processes: From data validation, extraction, and transformation to mass data processing. This makes integrations more flexible without making the platform unnecessarily complex.
The result: Cleaner data flows, faster implementation, and noticeably less manual effort in your applications.
Approvals: Governance that doesn´t slow down workflows
Approvals are a cnips iPaaS feature that allows you to secure critical steps in workflows via an approval process before data flows further or actions are triggered in applications.
This allows you to combine automation with control, e.g., for sensitive data, permissions, or business-critical changes.
Teams maintain transparency about who approved what and when, and reduce errors through clear responsibilities. This leads to faster processes without losing governance.
Agentic workflows: Based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Agentic workflows extend classic automation with AI-supported, goal-oriented processes that can make decisions in the context of the process instead of just working through rigid ruled. This cnips IpaaS feature helps coordinate complex tasks across multiple systems, such as dynamic data flows, exceptions, or variable requirements. At the same time, workflows remain controllable because agentic steps can be embedded in the defined processes and approvals.
Ideal if you need more speed and flexibility without losing track of your integration landscape.
Enhance visibility and control with logs & analytics
Gain deeper insights into your integration with cnips’ robust logging and analytics features. Our platform provides comprehensive logs and real-time analytics, empowering you to monitor performance, identify issues, and optimize your integrations with ease.
