Connect Timely and Coupa — AI-native workflow automation

Build multi-step AI automations that flow through Timely and Coupa — and chain in 1000+ other apps when the workflow needs them. One instruction, many steps, every API call run by AI. No code, no flowcharts, self-healing.

Timely and Coupa are two anchors of a much bigger automation. Definable Workflow chains your project tracker, your billing system, and as many other tools as the job needs into a single multi-step flow — built, executed, and verified by AI. Describe the outcome; Workflow plans the steps, runs every API call, branches on conditions, fans out in parallel where useful, retries on failure, and self-heals when an upstream API shifts shape.

What you can automate between Timely and Coupa

6 ways to automate Timely + Coupa

  • When a new task is created in Timely, log the transaction in Coupa
  • When a task status changes in Timely, update the customer record in Coupa
  • When a payment succeeds in Coupa, create a task with full context in Timely
  • When a charge fails in Coupa, move the task to a new column in Timely
  • When a sprint closes in Timely, reconcile the invoice in Coupa, and log the result in a structured record for team review
  • When a deadline approaches in Timely, flag the failure in Coupa, then send a notification to the assigned owner with the full context

Most automation tools run code. Workflow runs on AI.

Type it, done.

Create any automation by describing it in plain language. No flowcharts, no drag-and-drop wiring, no developer required.

AI builds it AND runs it.

Other platforms use AI to generate brittle code that runs offline. Workflow's entire execution layer is AI — it interprets, decides, and acts step by step.

Self-healing by design.

Every step is monitored by a verification layer. If something fails — a rate limit, an unexpected response, a skipped condition — Workflow detects it, corrects it, and reruns automatically.

Cross-tool orchestration.

Multi-step, event-driven, condition-based flows across Timely, Coupa, and 1000+ other tools — all from one instruction.

How Definable Workflow automation works — step by step

  1. 1

    Describe your workflow

    Type what you want to happen between Timely and Coupa. No setup wizard.

  2. 2

    Workflow builds it automatically

    Definable maps your instruction to the right actions across both tools. You see the plan before it runs.

  3. 3

    AI executes every step

    Workflow runs end-to-end. It calls Timely, processes the data, applies your conditions, and fires the Coupa action.

  4. 4

    The verification layer monitors everything

    Every step is verified. If something fails, Workflow catches it, adjusts, and retries — without you lifting a finger.

Example workflow

Trigger

When create client in Timely

Condition

If the Timely event matches your configured filter

Action

Frequently asked questions

What can I automate between Timely and Coupa?

Anything you can describe. Workflow connects Timely (your project tracker) and Coupa (your billing system) through a single instruction. Examples: when a new task is created in Timely, log the transaction in Coupa; when a task status changes in Timely, update the customer record in Coupa. There's no limit to step count or branching depth.

Do I need to write code to connect Timely and Coupa?

No. You describe the outcome in plain language and Workflow assembles the steps, authenticates both tools, runs the flow end-to-end, and self-corrects if anything fails.

What happens if Timely or Coupa returns an unexpected response?

Workflow has a verification layer on every step. If a response is malformed, an API rate-limit hits, or a condition is unmet, Workflow detects it, adjusts, and reruns the step automatically — without breaking the flow.

How is this different from drag-and-drop automation tools?

Most automation tools generate static workflows that run brittle code. Workflow is AI-native: the execution layer interprets each step at runtime, so it adapts when Timely ships an API change or Coupa returns a new field shape. You don't maintain it.

How long does it take to set up?

Minutes. Authenticate Timely and Coupa, type what you want to happen, review the plan Workflow generates, and start running.

Your workflows. Built by AI. Run by AI. Fixed by AI.

Stop maintaining automations. Start describing outcomes. Workflow handles everything between Timely, Coupa, and your entire stack.
