Hex Integration & Workflow Automation for Mobile Approval
Run Hex on autopilot. Keep the veto.
32 actions
That notebook you were refining gets published before you caught the stale cell. Rills proposes the action, you approve from your phone.
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 project management action from Hex arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Publish 3 guide drafts to the live project?

Same content as last published version?

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, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
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 Hex automation
You walk away from a Hex notebook, planning to double-check one cell. An hour later the draft is live, the stale chart went out, and a collaborator already screenshotted the wrong number. That sinking feeling is what this integration kills.
When Hex runs unsupervised
A guide draft hits the published notebook before you've reviewed the last edit. A project sharing change adds an external collaborator who should have been read-only. A project run executes with a connection to production data when you only wanted a dry run. A collection gets reordered and breaks the flow your team relies on. A group edit removes someone who still needs access tomorrow.
What Rills does inside Hex
Rills intercepts the actual write operations — publishing drafts, editing sharing permissions, running projects — and shows them to you as proposals. You approve from your phone, on your own schedule.
The guide still ships; you just get to flag the broken cell first.
Why Hex has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Hex doesn't expose events to watch for changes, so you can't react to a draft being edited or a run finishing. Rills bridges that by polling the project and group state on a schedule you set, or by starting workflows from an upstream tool like a new support ticket. You decide which operations wait for your approval:
- Scheduled checks: Poll Hex every hour for updated guide drafts and propose publish actions.
- Upstream triggers: When a Jira ticket moves to "Done", propose closing a Hex group or updating project status.
- Manual initiation: Review pending proposals in the Rills queue and approve each one from your phone.
This pattern keeps Hex automation in your control without requiring Hex to fire events it was never designed to.
