Introduction: Getting Started with No-Code Business Process Automation
Introduction
As an aspiring citizen developer, SAP Build Process Automation can help you develop workflows and automate tasks for your daily work, without writing any code.
Before you get started with building your no-code automated solutions, we’ll review your understanding of business processes, the people typically involved, the difference between good and bad processes, and how to manage them digitally.
Let’s first confirm some foundational knowledge about business processes. A business process is a repetitive set of tasks that are completed to achieve a goal or outcome for a business. It consists of a chain of activities, events, and decisions.
Typical Steps of a Business Process
Analyzing the Typical Steps in a Business Process
The common steps of a business process include initiation, data collection, routing, decisions, human tasks and new data.
The typical steps in a business process are:
- The process must be initiated somehow.
- Relevant data must be gathered.
- Process participants must be involved to review the data and move the process forward.
- Decisions must be made about whether the process can be completed.
- Process participants may need to collect more data.
- New information may need to be considered before the process can continue.
- But finally, the process is completed.

- The primary participants.
