Algorithms and automation

A great example of algorithms in action is with automation software.  This is because automation works by following set rules to complete tasks. Those rules form an algorithm.

So, automation software is made up of many algorithms all working to automate your processes.

For example, one of your automated tasks requires your automation software to take all billing information received by email and put it into a spreadsheet. To do this, you set up a series of rules and conditions for the program to follow — an algorithm.

In this instance, the input is every incoming email. Each of these emails are then put through each step — or rule — to complete the task. This might include scanning each email for key terms. Emails that contain these terms then move to the next step, continuing to follow each step to identify and extract the relevant data. The output is the information that’s placed into a spreadsheet.
