The Getting Started with Business Process Automation workshop introduces practical ways to make everyday business operations run more smoothly. Many SMEs waste time by handling repetitive tasks manually, rather than simply automating them. This event shows how to identify those opportunities and start building systems that free up time for growth.
What to expect
During the workshop, experienced specialists will break down the key principles of automation. You will learn how to spot processes that are slowing your business down, explore tools that can handle them more efficiently, and see examples of automation in action.
With expert guidance, you will discover how platforms like Zapier, Make, and Power Automate, can reduce errors, cut costs, and improve productivity across your organisation. There will also be time to ask questions and share ideas with other professionals facing similar challenges.
What’s covered:
- Introduction to business process automation and integration platforms
- Core automation concepts: triggers, actions, and workflows

- Real-world use cases across HR, finance, sales, marketing, and customer service
- Best practice: testing, error handling, and scaling automation safely
