# Welcome to FlowMate

FlowMate helps SaaS teams offer **native integrations and automation** without building their own integration infrastructure. Instead of maintaining API connections, hosting workflow engines, or implementing mapping logic, FlowMate provides a complete foundation that your product can rely on.

**FlowMate consists of two main components:**

{% columns %}
{% column %}
**Platform:**\
Build integrations using drag-and-drop tools, code components, or via API. Create Connectors, Templates, and automation logic that power your product’s workflows.
{% endcolumn %}

{% column %}
**Integration Center (embedded UX):**\
A white-label, embeddable interface that lets your customers activate integrations, configure mappings, and manage their flows—fully inside your product.
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
