Workflow automation
Workflow automation uses software to carry out defined steps when a particular event occurs. A workflow needs a trigger, conditions, actions and a way to handle failures. It may use fixed rules, AI or both. Automating a step does not remove the need to decide who owns the result or who reviews exceptions.
Why it matters for your business
Automation is most useful where a repeatable task is already understood. Connecting tools before agreeing the process can simply move incomplete information between systems faster.
A business example
An approved enquiry creates a follow-up task for a named person. If the receiving tool rejects it, the failure is recorded and someone is alerted.

Map the manual process first and automate one stable handover with a visible failure route.
