Tip: Explain Your Workflow Systematically (The easiest way to start automating with Ada!)

Users tend to overcomplicate their process when describing their automation requirements to Ada. When describing your workflow to Ada, imagine you're explaining it to a new intern in your team. This approach keeps things simple and clear.

Let’s walk through some examples:

Start with the Basics: Begin by outlining the main steps of your workflow. For instance, "First, I receive an order from a customer and would like to automate the data transfer into my ERP system."

Add Details Gradually: Provide more details step by step.

• "Every time I receive a customer order, I need to transfer the order date and customer name.” 
• “Then I need to transfer the order number, article number, and amount ordered into the ERP system.”

Keep It Conversational: Explain each part of the process as if you're talking to someone new.

Include Decision Points: Mention any decision points clearly, e.g., "If the format is any different, always have the date in dd/mm/yy format and the price in €.”

Conclude with the Outcome: End with the final steps and desired outcome, e.g., "Finally, once all data is transferred, click save."
