Templates

Alaskan's two template kinds, team templates and workflow templates. Plain JSON, MIT-licensed, installable from the gallery and free to share or sell.

Alaskan for Business is set up from templates, and the templates are open: plain JSON under the MIT licence, so anyone can build, share or sell them without asking.

There are two kinds.

Team templates

A whole setup for one kind of business, the way a Notion template is: its dogs (each with a job, a persona, rules, routines and apps), its dashboard, the workflows it installs, and sample work so a new workspace looks alive on day one.

kind: "alaskan.team". Browse them in Team templates; the format is in the Team template format.

Workflow templates

A trigger and a graph of steps, the way an n8n workflow is: app actions, lookups, a browser task, thinking, waiting, branching, and at least one Decide step, an approval gate where the run waits for a person.

kind: "alaskan.workflow". Browse them in Workflow templates; the format is in the Workflow template format.

Getting them

  • Every template has a page on this site, and its JSON at the page's address plus .json: /teams/starter.json, /workflows/invoice-chase.json.
  • Through the API: GET /v1/templates lists them all; GET /v1/templates/team/<slug> and GET /v1/templates/workflow/<slug> return one whole. These need no sign-in.
  • In the app: a workspace starts from a team template, POST /v1/workspace/hire adds one dog from any team template, and POST /v1/workspace/workflows/install adds a workflow.

What's ours and what's yours

The template formats and the starter templates are MIT-licensed. Alaskan Cloud (hosting, the managed company computer, phone access and setup) is the paid product.
