Crowdin Automation, Approvals & Workflow Integration
Run Crowdin on autopilot. Keep the veto.
231 actions
Glossary updates and MT translations fire inside Crowdin before you've had a chance to review them. Rills proposes every change; you approve before it ships.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential development action from Crowdin arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue 3
Apply 34 glossary term updates across 6 language files?
34 terms flagged by MT review cycle · 3 marked high-risk
2 terms conflict with manually overridden entries in ES-MX
Same scope approved last sprint, no conflicts at that time
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, no 3am stomach-drop wondering what shipped while you slept.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Crowdin automation
Localization moves fast, and the moment you let Crowdin automation run on its own, glossary terms go stale, machine translations get applied to the wrong language pairs, and strings ship with errors that cost more to fix than they would have to catch.
When Crowdin runs unsupervised
The operations that feel routine are the ones that break things quietly. A batch job fires, strings go out, and by the time a translator flags the problem the content is already live in three locales.
- Update Glossaries fires across all connected projects at once, overwriting terms translators have been working around for weeks.
- Create MT Translations applies machine output to language pairs that your team had flagged for human review, silently replacing in-progress work.
- Create String adds source content to active files before your copywriters have signed off on the final wording.
- Delete Glossary Terms removes terms permanently with no confirmation step, and recovery means rebuilding from memory or old exports.
- Add Webhook connects an external endpoint to your project without a record of who authorized it or why.
What Rills does inside Crowdin
Rills sits between the trigger and the action for your Crowdin development workflows, queuing proposed changes like Update Glossaries, Create MT Translations, or Delete Glossary Terms so you can approve Crowdin operations before they touch live projects. Nothing posts to a locale, nothing overwrites a term, and nothing ships to a translator until you've seen exactly what is about to happen.
The translation still gets created; you just decide whether it goes out.
Why Crowdin has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Crowdin does not emit native event triggers, so there is no built-in way for the platform to start a workflow on its own. Rills fills that gap by running scheduled checks and upstream signals that prompt the right action at the right moment.
- A scheduled poll checks Check Project Build Status on a cadence you set, then queues an approval if a build has completed and strings are ready to export.
- A time-based review surfaces pending Export Translation Memory jobs before a sprint deadline, so you approve the export when the timing is right rather than after the window closes.
- An upstream signal from your content pipeline triggers a proposed Create String action in Crowdin, holding it for your review before it enters any active translation file.
- A recurring check against Check Project Report Status flags completed reports for your approval before they are shared with collaborators or clients.
What Rills can do in Crowdin
4 of 231 actions across reads, writes, and updates.
- 01
Build Project Translation
Generates downloadable translation files for your Crowdin project by compiling all translated content into a build package. This asynchronous process prepares your translations for export and distribution across your products or websites.
- 02
Add File
Upload a new file to your Crowdin project for translation management. This allows you to organize content by project, branch, or directory structure.
- 03
Create String
Add new translatable text strings directly to your Crowdin project without uploading files, enabling you to manage content updates and translations programmatically.
- 04
Add Webhook
Set up automated notifications in Crowdin to trigger events when translation updates, reviews, or project changes occur. This lets you automatically connect your translation workflow with other business tools and keep your team informed in real-time.
