HOW TO AUTOMATE

HOW DOES AUTOMATION WORK?

Automating a business is like teaching systems to talk. Imagine System A and System B having a chat. When System A completes an order, it triggers a message to System B to send a review to the customer. This way, tasks happen automatically, making the business run smoother. That's the magic of automation!

WHAT ARE THE STEPS

INVOLED IN AUTOMATION?

To automate a system, begin by identifying tasks suitable for streamlining.

Utilize API (Application Programming Interfaces) to establish seamless communication between different software components.

Determine a trigger, such as a completed order, to initiate automation.

Set up protocols that dictate subsequent actions, like sending a review message to the customer.

Employ automation tools and frameworks to streamline processes efficiently.

Ensure compatibility between systems and periodically evaluate and refine your automated workflows for optimal performance.
