Automation Hub
Task Mining is an automation discovery tool using AI to analyze employees' day-to-day desktop activities. Automation Hub can be the perfect bridge to automation and help accelerate the automation journey upon identifying opportunities with Task Mining.
As a Process Subject Matter Expert, when you identify an improvement for an employees' day-to-day desktop activities in your trace while analyzing the results, you might want to send a request to automate the activity to Automation Hub. For example, when an activity has a lot of repetitive actions or takes a long time to be executed.
You can do this directly from the trace.
Be careful when completing the metrics for Number of ways to complete the process, % of Digital Input, and % of Structured Digital Data Input in the Export to Automation Hub form since the values submitted may have an impact on the automation potential or determining the ease of automation.
Follow these steps to submit an idea for automation and send it to Automation Hub.
