Every task that can be automated must have a clear beginning, middle and end. The information that enters a process, as well as that that leaves it, must also have a predictable pattern.

Example:

  • Open a website page
  • Copy text from page (ctrl c)
  • Open a spreadsheet
  • Paste this text (ctrl v)
  • Save data to the document (ctrl s)
  • Close file

Some software allows you to schedule the execution of tasks through commands, called “macros”, this is one of the ways you can automate a task, however when this option is available, the way to create them varies depending on the software. used and their access to data manipulation is often limited to the software where they are created, not being able to perform some simple tasks like the example above.

To obtain more freedom in the actions that need to be carried out to perform your tasks, in the case of the example above it is better to develop a small application for your device that will be able to perform the task successfully.
