Business applications

Custom business applications, built by AI and governed by your IT team

The applications your business runs on but no vendor sells: the approval flow shaped like your process, the dashboard for your metrics, the portal for your partners. Describe them and ToolJet builds working apps on your data, with the controls IT already expects. Refine visually; involve engineers only where it counts.

Describe the tool you need. ToolJet builds it.

Type what you want in plain language. ToolJet generates the pages, queries and logic as a working app. Connect your data, set who can see what, and review the generated logic before publishing. Edit the app on the canvas afterwards.

  • Working app, not a mockup
  • Review access rules before publishing
  • Free to start, per-builder pricing

Business applications teams build with ToolJet

Process and approval applications

Requests, reviews and sign-offs shaped like your process, with thresholds and a decision record.

Department dashboards

Finance, sales, operations and HR metrics from your warehouse and systems, filtered by owner.

Customer and partner portals

Scoped external views over your data, embeddable and white-labelled.

Planning and intake tools

Project intake, prioritisation, capacity and roadmap boards with scoring and status.

Record and case management

Vendors, assets, contracts, cases, with controlled changes and history.

Automations behind the apps

Self-hosted workflows that run on schedules or events to notify teams and sync between systems.

From process to application

  1. 01

    Connect what you have

    100+ native connectors plus any REST, gRPC or GraphQL API. Or start on ToolJet Database, the managed Postgres in every workspace.

  2. 02

    Describe the application

    In plain language on the canvas, or from a coding agent through the ToolJet plugin. ToolJet generates pages, queries, logic and permissions.

  3. 03

    Refine with the business team

    The people who run the process adjust fields, stages and views visually. Engineers add custom logic in JavaScript or Python only where needed.

  4. 04

    Ship under IT's rules

    Configure SSO, roles, row-level access and audit logs on a plan that includes them. Review permissions in staging before releasing to production.

In production

Teams already running on ToolJet

Built in, not bolted on

The controls your IT team already expects

Identity, permissions and audit apply to every app, whether a person built it on the canvas or an agent built it from a prompt. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR; self-host if you need to.

Single sign-on and SCIM

SAML, OIDC and LDAP, with directory groups mapped onto ToolJet roles and provisioning through SCIM.

Permissions down to the query

Workspace, app, page, component and query-level access, with row-level security where the data needs it.

Audit logs and SIEM export

Platform events with actor, resource and timestamp; configurable retention; export to your SIEM.

Runs where you say

Choose managed ToolJet Cloud or self-host in your VPC or on-premise. Air-gapped operation, BYOK and private AI gateway deployment are Self-hosted Enterprise add-ons.

Security and governance features vary by plan. Workflows and Agent Builder are available on Self-hosted only; BYOK is a Self-hosted Enterprise add-on. Compare plan availability.

Two ways to get there

Build it yourself, or bring our engineers in

Self-serve

Your team, your pace

Start free. Describe the tool, refine it on the canvas, and ship it under your own access rules. Start with one app, then test it with your team before rolling it out.

Forward-deployed engineers, embedded with your team

When the timeline is fixed or the process is tangled, our engineers build alongside you: scoped delivery, production-ready apps, and knowledge transfer so your team owns the result.

Talk about a project

Questions business teams ask before they start

What counts as a business application?

Any application that runs a business process rather than serving as your product: approvals, dashboards, portals, planning boards, record management. ToolJet builds these on your existing data instead of in a new system.

Is this a low-code platform?

ToolJet started as an open-source low-code builder and now generates full applications from a prompt or a coding agent, with the visual editor for refinement and code where it earns its place. The governance layer is the same either way.

Who builds the apps?

Usually the business team that owns the process, with IT connecting systems and reviewing permissions. Engineers step in for custom logic, components or integrations that do not exist yet.

Can we self-host?

Yes. Deploy with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm or OpenShift in your VPC or on-premise. Fully air-gapped operation requires the Self-hosted Enterprise air-gapped add-on. Managed ToolJet Cloud is also available, and the core is open source.

How is it priced?

Pricing is per builder, not per user. Every plan includes an end-user allowance and Enterprise includes unlimited end users, so rolling a tool out widely does not add a seat for every viewer. The pricing page lists the allowance on each plan.
