This can easily lead to miscommunication between colleagues. And, if left unresolved, this miscommunication can go on to adversely impact your digital transformation initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll try to provide a bit of clarity and alignment for your teams by defining and explaining two of the most commonly-used terms: automation and orchestration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Automation versus orchestration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation is geared towards streamlining individual tasks, while orchestration aims to transform processes end-to-end. Given this distinction, there are significant differences in terms of the tools you\u2019d leverage, the goals you\u2019d assign, and the benefits you\u2019d ultimately experience with each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a closer look at both, starting with automation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-5-11.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Workato-5-11.png\" alt=\"Automation is geared towards streamlining individual tasks, while orchestration aims to transform processes end-to-end.\" class=\"wp-image-42877\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is automation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It\u2019s the use of an automation tool (oftentimes robotic process automation software) to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/task-automation\/\">streamline a specific task<\/a>.*<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tasks can take a number of forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Copying and pasting information between documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uploading a file to an application\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Downloading a file and emailing it to someone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Populating templates or documents from various sources<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Note: While this is how automation has been defined historically, we disagree with this perspective. We believe that automation involves streamlining business processes end-to-end (thus making process orchestration and automation more or less synonymous).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/what-is-a-webhook\/\">Webhooks explained<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example of automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say that a specific function within your marketing team has managed to collect various leads in a spreadsheet and they need their sales reps to be aware of and follow up with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, these leads need to live in the application your reps work on\u2014your customer relationship management platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using an RPA bot, you can implement an automation where the bot copies fields from the spreadsheet, logs into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/in\/crm\/what-is-crm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CRM<\/a>, creates new lead records, and pastes the copied fields to the appropriate places within each record.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/l987EvtuQqhE4Mw1hI4X7Vy24wGQVHX79l2BwbUr3GGoupwk06G5-BxcrN71C0NEAv9Tf0hU3SYXhPNMKUVHA2aV1yTp5bLqB8QLgX6W3L9jlutZ6PpMFhw-8ti46rWvK_ak6vhUIHP6K6l_HeqCcshccYndLjCX-r7bO1_D-VcfR-7l5CpzzLl6qg-1.png\" alt=\"An example of a task automation that RPA can support\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Goals of automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizations turn to automation for a number of reasons. They might be looking to capture time savings by allowing employees to avoid mundane, repetitive activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They might be hoping to prevent human errors by streamlining error-prone activities; they might be seeking to make specific activities more efficient by removing human intervention. In many cases, an organization is looking to capture a combination of these benefits from a single automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is orchestration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Orchestration, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/process-orchestration\/\">process orchestration<\/a>, is the use of automation technology to streamline a process end-to-end<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This either involves building an intelligent, multi-step automation or a series of automations that can spring one another into action (or both). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might also involve a platform bot that can bring your automations to the application your employees already work in\u2014your business communications platform (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/integrations\/slack?ref=connector-automation-vs-orchestration\">Slack<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orchestration can be applied to any number of processes across departments.
