Define and schedule a bot

A scheduled bot needs a known organization, queue, owner, date and revision. The Automation Operator prepares those details before invoking the scheduling workflow. The resulting operation trace and pending review decision make the scheduled revision visible to the next person.

    • Identifies the applicable operating policy and mapping
    • Updates Organizations, Automation queues, Source mappings
  2. Define the bot Automation Operator
