TL;DR Gluetrail is a no-code SaaS application that allows non-technical teams to build internal tools autonomously, on top of their existing business systems and databases. Have a look at our template library or contact us with any use case you’d like help with; sign up here to request free trial access.
🛠️ THE PROBLEM WITH BUILDING INTERNAL TOOLS
- Operational teams rely heavily on internal tools.
- They know best the challenges they need these tools to solve, and have the most urgency for them.
- But they are not autonomous to build and maintain them.
Why? Because building internal tools requires knowing how to write and maintain code.
A short story about a simple use case is worth a thousand words…
John from the Ops team wants to drive his sales team’s productivity by building and sending forms on Slack (with buttons, input, datetime etc.) and process that information back to his CRM, HubSpot. For example, sending a form like this to update deals’ close dates that are past due:
He looks at options to build this but none of them are suitable:
- Ask his dev team: his request is low priority in the backlog and he knows he’ll have to go back often to the dev team for maintenance after the tool is built.
- Leverage internal tools builders: these tools are built for developers and require knowing how to code. The technical bar is too high for John to get started and build quickly.
- Use no-code workflow tools: his use case requires building end-user interfaces (Slack notifications with a form and buttons), which is something these tools don’t handle easily without having to code.
🤖 THE SOLUTION
Here's a 1mn video demo of how John built, in Gluetrail, his Slack notifications allowing reps to update HubSpot, without any code.
Gluetrail empowers non-technical teams to build business critical internal apps autonomously, literally in minutes. We do this with:
- A no-code interface
- Automations and UI components to build web, Slack or Chrome extension based interfaces
- Integrations with 3rd party systems like HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, OpenAI, Slack, Postgres, BigQuery and others.
Our template library features some use cases you can replicate in Gluetrail.

Hear from the founders
How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
We have known each other for 5 years and met when we both worked at Algolia. Baptiste led the Internal Tools engineering team initially, then worked on Data Operations while Anne-Charlotte built and scaled the Revenue Operations team. As a result, we worked closely together on productivity, process optimization and analytics topics. We came up with the idea of Gluetrail as we experienced first hand the pain it intends to solve.
