Your serverless backend, automated end to end

StorageDatabaseDeveloperAIAutomationCloud & Infrastructure

CloudBoost is a serverless Backend-as-a-Service platform that gives your applications a real-time database, user management, file storage, caching, and message queues — all through a single REST API. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create, query, update, and delete records in your CloudBoost collections, manage user accounts, upload and retrieve files, push and pop messages from queues, and read or write cache entries — all without you touching a backend console.

Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual work of exporting data, creating records in the CloudBoost console, managing user accounts, running database queries for reports, and maintaining file archives — all recurring tasks that previously required direct database access.

Auto-sync CRM contacts into CloudBoost

When a contact is added or changed in HubSpot, the agent retrieves the full contact record, upserts the corresponding CloudBoost Contact object using email as the unique key, and writes a confirmation row to a Google Sheets audit log. Every downstream service reading from CloudBoost always sees the latest CRM data without a manual export step.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    45 min / week
    Manual CRM-to-database sync

    Sales ops manually exports deals from the CRM, reformats the CSV, and uploads it to CloudBoost — a 45-minute job done twice a week, with errors when someone forgets to run it.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent keeps CloudBoost in sync with the CRM

  • Marketing
    30 min / week
    Manual subscriber list exports

    The marketing team queries CloudBoost manually, exports to CSV, imports to the email tool, and sets up the segment each campaign — repeated every send cycle.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent queries CloudBoost and queues the campaign

    The Marketing Agent queries active subscribers from CloudBoost, pushes each recipient onto the NotificationQueue, and the async sender dispatches the campaign without human involvement.

  • Customer Support
    60 min / week
    Manual ticket creation from email

    Support agents read inbound emails, open the CloudBoost console, and manually create ticket objects — adding a minute of data entry to every inbound request.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates ticket objects from every inbound email

    The Support Agent parses inbound emails and calls Create Object in the Tickets collection within about a minute — agents open CloudBoost and see every ticket already logged.

  • Human Resources
    40 min / week
    Manual new-hire account setup

    HR manually creates each new employee's CloudBoost user account, copying details from the HRIS and filling in role and department fields one by one.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent provisions accounts from the HRIS sheet

    The HR Agent reads the new-starter sheet and calls Register User for each employee — accounts are provisioned with all fields before IT hands over the laptop.

  • Finance
    25 min / week
    Manual plan upgrades after payment

    After a Stripe payment, finance manually finds the CloudBoost user record and updates the plan field — a 5-minute task per upgrade, at risk of being missed during busy periods.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent updates plan fields on payment confirmation

    The Finance Agent catches Stripe payment events and calls Update User on the CloudBoost record within about a minute — the app reflects the new plan before the customer reads the receipt.

  • Operations
    60 min / week
    Manual nightly backup exports

    Ops manually queries CloudBoost, exports JSON, and uploads it to storage each night — a task that gets skipped on late evenings and fails silently when forgotten.

    Operations Agent

FAQs

Questions about CloudBoost + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to CloudBoost?
Actionist connects to CloudBoost using your application's App ID and Client Key, which you can find in the CloudBoost dashboard under your app's Security Keys. Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find CloudBoost, and paste both values. Actionist sends them as request headers on every API call and runs a test request to confirm the credentials work before saving.
What can my Actionist agents actually do in CloudBoost?
Agents can create, query, update, delete, and search records in any CloudBoost collection; register, retrieve, and update CloudBoost user accounts; upload files to CloudBoost storage and retrieve hosted file URLs; push messages onto CloudBoost queues and dequeue them for processing; and read and write CloudBoost cache entries with configurable TTLs. Essentially any operation you would make through the CloudBoost REST API can be performed by an agent.
Can I connect CloudBoost to other apps in the same agent task?
Yes. CloudBoost integrations work alongside any of Actionist's other connected apps. Common combinations include syncing HubSpot contacts into CloudBoost, posting CloudBoost query results to Slack, writing CloudBoost records to Google Sheets, uploading Google Drive files to CloudBoost storage, and triggering plan updates in CloudBoost when a Stripe payment is confirmed. You can mix CloudBoost operations with any other app in a single agent task.
How quickly does Actionist react when I need a record created or updated?
When an agent task is triggered — by an email, a webhook, a form submission, or a schedule — Actionist processes it within about a minute. The CloudBoost API calls themselves are fast (typically under a second for a single object operation), so the end-to-end time from trigger event to the record appearing in CloudBoost is usually within about a minute of the source event.
Can agents run scheduled CloudBoost tasks, like nightly backups or weekly reports?
Yes. You can schedule any agent task — a nightly collection export uploaded to CloudBoost file storage, a weekly query that produces a report in Google Sheets, a daily cache refresh for billing rates — on any cadence from every few minutes to monthly. Scheduled tasks that need to run while your laptop is closed require a cloud runtime plan.
How do I avoid accidental duplicate records in CloudBoost?
Use the Create or Update Object (Upsert) action instead of Create Object whenever a record might already exist. Pass a unique field — email for users, order_id for orders — as the lookup key. The agent checks whether a matching record exists first and updates it if found, or creates a new one if not. You can also use the Search Collection action to check for an existing record before any write operation.
Is CloudBoost good for storing files like PDFs, images, or data exports?
Yes. CloudBoost's file storage API lets agents upload any file — PDFs, images, JSON exports, CSVs — and get back a hosted URL. The URL can be stored in a CloudBoost collection record, shared via Slack, or written to Google Sheets. Use the Upload File action to push files and Get File to retrieve the hosted URL for a previously uploaded asset.
Can I use CloudBoost queues to handle tasks that should run later or in order?
Yes. CloudBoost queues are useful for any processing that should be decoupled from the triggering event — email sends, report generation, webhook retries, and notification batching all benefit from a queue. Your agent pushes a message with Add Message to Queue when the event occurs, and a separate scheduled agent uses Get Queue Message to dequeue and process messages at a controlled rate. This prevents spikes from overwhelming downstream APIs.
