Roam Integration & Workflow Automation
Run Roam on autopilot. Keep the veto.
39 actions
A message posts to the wrong group, a file goes out before review, and you find out after. Rills proposes every Roam action so you approve before anything sends.
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 communication action from Roam arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

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 Roam automation
Roam sits at the center of your team's communication, which means a misrouted message, a file sent to the wrong group, or a user permission change that skips review can do real damage before you hear about it.
When Roam runs unsupervised
Group messages, file uploads, and user patches fire faster than any inbox refresh. One wrong recipient or premature announcement and the conversation is already out.
- Post message to chat fires to the wrong room and the retraction comes too late.
- Send message to group broadcasts a draft that wasn't ready, with no recall.
- Upload File to Roam pushes a document before the final version is confirmed.
- Patch user (SCIM) changes a team member's permissions without a second set of eyes.
- Add group members pulls someone into a channel they shouldn't see yet.
What Rills does inside Roam
Rills intercepts the action before it moves. Whether the workflow is posting a message to chat, uploading a file, or patching a user record, the proposed change queues up and waits. You review the context, including which group, which file, which user, and you decide.
The message still goes out; you just see it before it does.
Why Roam has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Roam does not emit events that can start a workflow on their own, so Rills relies on scheduled checks and upstream signals to initiate approve Roam actions at the right moment.
- List Roam Recordings runs on a schedule to surface new recordings that need sharing or archiving before anyone acts on them.
- List Roam Transcripts polls at set intervals so a downstream workflow can queue transcript delivery once you approve the recipient list.
- List group members checks membership before a Send message to group action fires, catching roster drift that would reach the wrong people.
- List Users runs ahead of any Patch user (SCIM) batch so the scope of the change is confirmed before a single record moves.
Pairing Rills with a scheduler or an upstream communication trigger turns a passive Roam setup into a controlled approval queue without giving the AI unsupervised reach into your channels.

Common questions about Roam automation
How do I automate Roam user provisioning without IT involvement?
Rills can propose user additions, patches, and group membership changes in Roam automatically. Nothing gets applied until you approve it. That means a new hire does not appear in the wrong group, and a deprovisioned contractor does not linger, because you saw the action before it shipped.
Can I get mobile approvals before Roam group members are added or removed?
Yes. Every group membership change Rills proposes lands in your mobile approval queue. You review it from your phone, swipe to approve or reject, and only then does the action run. No one gets added to a Roam group you did not personally greenlight.
How do I automate posting messages to Roam chat without sending the wrong thing?
Rills drafts the message and holds it for your review before it posts to any Roam chat. If the wording is off, the recipient is wrong, or the timing is bad, you catch it first. The message only ships after you approve it.
Can Rills pull Roam recordings and transcripts automatically for my team?
Rills can list and retrieve Roam recordings and transcripts on a schedule or as part of a larger workflow. You decide whether those results trigger a follow-up action, and any downstream step that touches something external waits for your call.
How do I automate Roam user management across a small team without breaking access?
Rills maps out the user list, patches, and SCIM group changes, then surfaces each proposed action before it runs. If a change would affect someone's access in a way you did not intend, you see it first. Roam automation does not have to mean access errors you find out about later.
How is Rills different from Zapier for Roam automation?
Zapier runs actions the moment a trigger fires. Rills holds the proposed action and waits for your approval before anything ships. For Roam, that means a message, a group change, or a user patch does not go out until you say so. You keep the veto on every step, not just the trigger.
Does Rills support Roam webhooks or does it only run on a schedule?
Roam does not currently send trigger events to Rills, so workflows run on a schedule or are kicked off manually. Rills still proposes each resulting action and holds it for approval rather than firing automatically, so you are not trading control for convenience.
How much does Rills cost for Roam automation?
Approvals and workflow logic are free. You only pay when Rills takes a real action, such as an AI call or an external API operation like patching a Roam user or posting to chat. If you review a proposed action and reject it, that costs nothing.
