FAQs
What is workflow automation?
Workflow automation technology uses if-then logic to automate simple tasks that are time-consuming and repeatable. Rippling takes it further: describe what you want to automate in plain language, and Rippling AI builds the workflow for you. Because Rippling is already your system of record for every employee's role, location, tenure, comp, device status, and app access, the workflows it builds are precise from day one. Anyone in HR, Finance, or IT can create sophisticated, cross-system automations without writing a single line of code or filing an IT ticket.
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?
Rippling gives you a level of configurability no other workflow tool can match. Because Rippling is already your system of record for HR, IT, and Finance data, your workflows are built on accurate, unified data from day one.
