How workflow automation agents work, step by step

What are workflow automation agents?

Workflow automation agents run multi-step back-office processes across email, spreadsheets, ERPs, CRMs and accounting systems. They collect data, make routine decisions with AI and ask people to approve important steps.

Common uses include invoice reconciliation, approval routing, data entry, report generation and follow-ups. Every run is logged, so you can see what happened and why.
