Business process guide
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
RPA automates user-interface interactions such as copying data, opening applications or following repeatable screen-based steps.
Practical note: process design depends on organization, data, controls, laws, contracts and technology. Treat examples and calculators as educational planning aids, then validate changes against your own requirements.

Useful bridge technology
RPA can connect systems that lack practical APIs or automate stable repetitive desktop work.
UI dependence creates fragility
Screen layouts, login flows and pop-ups can break automation even when the underlying business process has not changed.
Prefer durable integration when justified
For critical high-volume processes, APIs or direct system integration may be more robust than long chains of simulated clicks.
