• Automating of repetitive tasks like moving data from one
system to another
• Guiding a user through a process so they can complete
the different stages
• Connecting to external data sources via one of the
hundreds of connectors or directly via an API
• Automating desktop based processes with robotic
process automation (RPA) capabilities
