Automation starts with a clear process
The most useful automation opportunities often begin with a repeated handoff or a manual step whose purpose is well understood.
Find a repeatable task
Identify the trigger, inputs, decision rules, exceptions and owner. A workflow that changes from case to case may need process clarification before automation.
Design for exceptions
Document where a person should review, correct or approve the result. Monitoring and clear ownership matter as much as the initial build.
Test before scaling
Pilot a manageable scope and compare the work before and after. The tools and integrations should be selected against the systems, permissions and controls actually available.
