Detailed syllabus

  • Record the real flow, not the organisation chart
  • Spot re-keying, waiting times and redundant checks
  • Convert each friction point into hours lost per year

  • Triggers, steps, conditions: the minimal vocabulary
  • Connect two tools you already use
  • Test on real data, not on an example

  • Handle errors instead of ignoring them
  • Log, so you understand what happened three weeks later
  • Write the manual recovery procedure

  • Document for the person who will take over the scenario
  • Monitor execution costs and rate limits
  • Know when an automation is not worth it

Order matters

The most common mistake is to open the tool first. You end up with an elegant automation sitting on a process that should not have existed in that form.

The two days therefore follow the reverse order:

  1. map
  2. quantify
  3. build

Learning objectives

  • Map a real process and quantify its friction points
  • Build an automation scenario with error handling
  • Plan a manual recovery someone else can use
  • Change an automation without depending on a contractor

Who it is for

  • Administrative, operations or department managers
  • Freelancers running their administrative chain alone
  • Internal tool owners in charge of integrations

Prerequisites

  • Know the business process you want to automate
  • No programming skills

Teaching methods and materials

  • Mapping of the participant's real process at the start of the session
  • Guided construction of a scenario on a free account
  • Deliberately breaking the scenario, then fixing it
  • Eight participants at most, one trainer

Assessment methods

  • Placement questionnaire at the start of the course
  • Continuous assessment on the construction of the scenario
  • Final scenario presented and stress-tested in front of the group
  • Satisfaction questionnaire at the end and three months later

You leave with

Five uses tested on your own documents, and a method to check what the machine produces.
