Bitrix24 comes with built-in tools for CRM, tasks, marketing, analytics, and automation. You can use them to manage customers, assign tasks, run automation rules, approve documents, and track company performance.
If you need a tool for a specific use case, such as a custom report, an integration with an industry-specific system, a calculator with complex logic, or an AI assistant for a team, use Alaio Vibecode. Describe what you need in plain language, and the AI model will help you create an app or chatbot.

When to use Vibecode
Alaio Vibecode works best for tasks that standard Bitrix24 tools or existing Market apps cannot handle.
Integration with an industry-specific system. Your company may use a medical records system, a service request tracker, an internal customer database, or another specialized platform. If Bitrix24 Market does not have a ready-made app for it, you can use Vibecode to build a custom integration, as long as the external service supports data exchange.
Example: A clinic stores patient data in a medical records system, while managers work with inquiries in CRM. With Vibecode, you can build a solution that transfers relevant patient data to CRM if the medical records system supports data exchange.
A form or calculator with custom logic. Standard forms are a good fit for simple lead capture. If your form needs many conditions, calculations, or validation rules, you may need a separate solution.
Example: A construction company calculates project costs based on square footage, materials, timelines, delivery, and extra work. The customer fills out a form, and the calculator shows an estimated price.
An AI assistant for a specific task. You can use Vibecode to create an assistant that works with Bitrix24 data and helps employees complete repetitive tasks faster.
Example: A bot sends a supervisor a daily summary of team activity, including how many deals are in progress, which tasks are overdue, and which customers have not been contacted recently.
Another example: An assistant finds duplicate customer records and suggests merging them. The employee reviews the matches and decides whether to merge the records or keep them separate.
Test an idea before full development. Before you commit to a project, you can build a simple working version to see if it is useful.
Example: The sales team needs a separate screen with deal prompts. You can create a prototype in Vibecode, show it to the team, and see if it helps managers. If it does, you can improve the solution and share it.
When to use built-in Bitrix24 tools
Not every task needs Vibecode. If you can solve it with standard Bitrix24 tools, use those first. It is faster and does not require custom development.
Routine actions in CRM. To automatically create an activity, send an email, move a deal to another stage, or assign a task to the responsible person, use CRM automation rules and triggers.
Example: When a deal moves to the "Invoice sent" stage, an automation rule can create a "Call the customer in two days" activity. The manager sees the reminder in the deal form and does not miss the follow-up.
Automation rules and triggers in Bitrix24
Internal approvals. For document approvals, requests, and internal processes, use workflow automation in CRM. It lets you define each step, including who creates the request, who approves it, and who gets notified.
Example: An employee submits a vacation request, the supervisor approves it, and the HR team gets a notification and prepares the documents.
A ready-made app in the Market. Before you build a custom solution, check Bitrix24 Market. A ready-made app may already solve your task without any development.
Example: If your company needs an integration with a popular delivery service or telephony provider, a ready-made app may be faster and more cost-effective than custom development.
Find and install Bitrix24 Market applications
The task can be solved with a simple setting. If one standard setting solves the task, you do not need a separate app.
Example: To add a field to a deal form, use the CRM settings. Vibecode will not make this easier. It will only add unnecessary setup.
CRM overview
How to choose the tool
The choice depends on the task: what you need to do, whether a ready-made solution exists, and how much your scenario differs from standard Bitrix24 capabilities.
| Tool | Use case | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| CRM automation rules and triggers | Routine automated actions in CRM | You have a condition and an action: create an activity or send an email. For example, when a deal moves to the "Invoice sent" stage, an automation rule creates a "Call the customer in two days" activity |
| Workflow automation | Approvals and multi-step processes | You have stages, participants, and transition rules. For example, an employee submits a vacation request and the supervisor approves it |
| Market | Ready-made solutions for common tasks | The task is common and an app may already be available in the Market. For example, an integration with a popular delivery service or telephony provider |
| Vibecode | A custom solution for a specific scenario | Standard settings are not enough and there is no ready-made app. For example, a clinic transferring data from a medical records system to CRM |
The logic is: first check standard settings, automation rules, triggers, workflow automation, and ready-made apps. If they cover your task, you do not need a custom solution. If nothing fits, you can build your own solution with Vibecode.
