Qlik Automate
What Qlik Automate is
Qlik Automate is a cloud, no-code tool for building workflows across Qlik Cloud and SaaS applications. Users arrange configurable blocks for conditions, loops, variables and data connectors, then run automations manually, on schedules, from webhooks or through API calls. Connectors include Qlik Cloud, Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Snowflake, ServiceNow and other services. Documented uses include chaining Qlik app reloads, managing licenses and user roles, sending alerts and writing analytics-driven data back to business applications. The Qlik Reporting connector creates multi-page reports from app sheets and sends them by email as PDF or PowerPoint files. Authentication can use access tokens or OAuth, including read and write permissions. Exported JSON excludes authentication tokens, so imported automations need reauthentication. History is retained for 30 days, and logging can be disabled for blocks handling private data. The service runs within a Qlik Cloud tenant with no separate download or configuration. A full-version 30-day trial requires no credit card.
