href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-power-automate-adds-robotic-process-automation-in-april\/\">launched Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in Power Automate<\/a>, our goal was to provide customers with seamless automation across their IT environment, for software that was modern or legacy.\u00a0 Since Power Automate is designed for all developers, RPA is the feature which allows non-technical developers to add automation to their legacy apps, and automate processes which traverse applications with and without APIs.\u00a0 One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/our-best-practices-and-step-by-step-guide-for-creating-an-enterprise-scale-automated-invoicing-process-with-power-automate\/\">canonical examples of such a process we recently demonstrated was invoicing<\/a>, where the addition of RPA enables Power Automate users to fully automate invoicing from the point the invoice is submitted, through to updates made in a legacy invoicing application (figure 1).\u00a0 We also <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/digitally-transform-your-enterprise-with-power-automate-leveraging-robotic-process-automation-to-modernize-legacy-processes\/\">discussed the clear advantages<\/a> and impact automating a routine yet crucial task such as invoicing can have on an organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"

1.\u00a0 Automate invoicing process with Power Automate<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are many such routine tasks which include applications without APIs.\u00a0 In our example, the legacy application was a Win32 app.\u00a0 However, many legacy applications are not Win32 and many customers have processes which include these applications.\u00a0 As part of our goal to create one automation service which can connect and automate an organization\u2019s entire IT ecosystem, we looked to quickly expand Power Automate\u2019s RPA capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adopting a Leading RPA Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To help expand our RPA capabilities, we <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/microsoft-acquires-softomotive-to-expand-low-code-robotic-process-automation-capabilities-in-microsoft-power-automate\/\">recently acquired Softomotive<\/a>.\u00a0 This addition to the Power Automate portfolio adds <em>15 years<\/em> of experience on RPA technology, and more importantly for our customers, enables Power Automate to extend its RPA capability to a larger set of legacy applications.\u00a0 Softomotive brings its flagship <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winautomation.com\/\">WinAutomation<\/a> technology into Power Automate, enabling users to now automate processes which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Java based applications<\/li>\n<li>Citrix applications<\/li>\n<li>AS400 and other terminal apps<\/li>\n<li>SAP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>in addition to the RPA capabilities offered with <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/ui-flows\/\">UI flows<\/a>.\u00a0 Another key extension is on web automation offered with WinAutomation.\u00a0 Now, in addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-automate\/ui-flows\/create-web\">Web UI flows<\/a> for web automation already available with Power Automate for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge,\u00a0 WinAutomation additionally supports automation for Mozilla, Internet Explorer, and also Google Chrome.\u00a0 With the combined capabilities of Web UI flows and WinAutomation web automation, customers can now automate tasks across a wider set of the most popular web browsers.\u00a0 Over the next few weeks and months, you\u2019ll see the continuing integration between WinAutomation and Power Automate.\u00a0 Currently, <em>any Power Automate customer with an RPA plan<\/em> also gets the functionality of WinAutomation.\u00a0 Users will see the new <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/new-winautomation-connector-in-ui-flows-is-now-available\/\">WinAutomation connector option<\/a> appear
