Automating Manual Processes through Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with Power Automate Desktop

Session Abstract

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that allows you to build robots, also known as 'bots,' to emulate the actions of a human interacting with a digital system to execute a business process. With Power Automate Desktop, you can streamline your work by recording mouse clicks, keyboard input, data entry, and more. RPA simplifies manual processes and enables automation, making it particularly valuable for tasks lacking support from a cloud-based API. During this session, we will give an overview of RPA, explore real-world use cases, and dive into Power Automate Desktop.
