Tines is a Dublin-based no-code workflow automation platform built specifically for security and operations teams, allowing practitioners to build, run, and monitor complex automated workflows — without writing code — and embed AI agents into those workflows alongside deterministic logic. Founded in 2018 by Eoin Hinchy and Thomas Kinsella, both former security engineers at eBay, Tines is built on the premise that security practitioners should be able to automate their own workflows without engineering dependency or brittle scripts. It has raised $144M+ with Accel, Balderton, and Addition as investors. While n8n and Zapier target general automation, Tines targets the security and operations practitioner directly — with a design philosophy that combines the reliability of deterministic rule-based automation with the flexibility of AI agents for tasks requiring reasoning.

Key Features
- No-code story builder: A drag-and-drop workflow canvas (“stories”) for building automations without code — security practitioners can design, test, and modify workflows themselves without filing an engineering ticket.
- AI Action (AI within workflows): Embeds AI agents at any point in a deterministic workflow — for tasks requiring reasoning, summarization, or classification — while keeping rule-based logic for the steps where predictability matters.
- Library of 1,000+ pre-built templates: Ready-made workflow templates for common security and IT use cases (phishing response, alert triage, user provisioning, vulnerability management) that teams can deploy and customize without starting from scratch.
- Human-in-the-loop approvals: Pause workflows for human review at any configured point — through email, Slack, or Tines Pages — before sensitive or irreversible actions execute.
- Tines Pages (forms and dashboards): Custom-built interfaces for non-technical stakeholders to interact with automation workflows — submitting requests, approving actions, or viewing status — without accessing the Tines workflow canvas.
- Broad security stack integration: Native integrations with CrowdStrike, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, Jira, PagerDuty, Slack, and hundreds of other security and IT tools, plus an HTTP action for any API.
Use Cases
- For security teams automating alert triage: A SOC team builds a Tines story that enriches and routes incoming alerts from their SIEM, checking threat intelligence, cross-referencing with identity data, and auto-closing low-fidelity alerts without analyst intervention.
- For IT operations reducing manual ticket work: An IT ops team automates user provisioning, access reviews, and offboarding workflows triggered by HR system events, eliminating hours of manual work per employee lifecycle event.
- For security engineers empowering the team: A security engineer builds Tines automations once, then surfaces them to non-technical colleagues through Tines Pages — allowing the broader team to trigger and interact with complex automations via a simple form interface.
