FAQs

What is workflow automation?

Workflow automation technology uses if-then logic to automate simple tasks that are time-consuming and repeatable. How do you automate HR, IT, and Finance workflows? There are a variety of tools for automating workflows related to the functions of HR, IT, and Finance, but only Rippling unifies the data related to all three in a single platform that anyone in your organization can use.

Why is workflow automation important?

Workflow automation is helpful for eliminating repeatable but time-consuming tasks that get in the way of more critical work. As the amount of software systems that businesses use has grown, manual work has increased as well. That’s because these systems need to be constantly maintained to have the level of functionality users expect. Workflow automation can reduce the manual work by connecting these systems and move data between them using if-then logic.

What is the best workflow automation software?

While there are many systems that automate workflows, Rippling’s workflow automation gives users a greater degree of configurability as they create HR workflow automation, IT workflow automation, and finance workflow automation, with more advanced actions than other workflow tools, which normally can perform a list of preset actions related to onboarding.
