Automation and RPA
Automate repetitive work and speed up your operations.
Move the repetitive tasks that cost organizations time and resources into automation. With Butterfly, robotic process automation (RPA) becomes a natural part of your business processes.
You can bring the actions robots perform into defined workflows, and track every run, result and possible error through the process.
What can you do?
Robotic automation
Hand repetitive, rule-based tasks over to robots.
Automatic task assignment
Distribute tasks and transactions according to the rules you set.
Data processing
Automate repetitive data entry, checks and transfers.
Scheduled tasks
Trigger automated actions at set times or when conditions are met.
Notification management
Create automatic notifications based on the status of transactions.
Error and exception tracking
Route failed robot runs to the relevant exception flow and assign owners.
Real use cases.
At an internet service provider, field tasks were assigned automatically according to defined rules, and teams were notified instantly.
At a retail company, tax breakdowns in expense processes were automated, and current exchange rates were applied to transactions.
Instead of disconnected robots, you can build automations that move together with your processes. When a robot completes or fails a task, the related process tracks it. So you don’t just run automations, you manage them end to end.
Robots are everywhere.
Scaling is still hard.
RPA is now a common tool in organizations. The challenge is that robots run alone in disconnected processes, and AI steps remain uncontrolled.
- 74%of organizations use RPA
In a survey of 479 executives from 35 countries, 74% of respondents say they have implemented RPA.

The biggest barrier to scaling automation is that processes are spread across multiple systems and teams. According to the same survey, this barrier will remain at the top over the next five years and beyond.

More than 40% of agentic AI projects are expected to be canceled by the end of 2027 due to rising costs, unclear business value and inadequate risk controls.

Three kinds of robots,
each for a different job.
The right way to hand a task to a robot depends on how the work is done: on the employee’s screen, overnight on a server, or by reading a document and recommending a decision? In Butterfly, all three robot types are designed on the same platform and run under the same process rules and the same audit trail.
Attended robot
An assistant that works alongside the employeeEmployee→Robot→Approval- Triggered by
- The employee, via a button on screen
- Runs on
- The employee’s computer
- Decision
- Stays with the employee
- Example
- A customer representative updates the record in three systems with a single click.
Unattended robot
A robot that runs without anyone watching02:00→Robot→Report- Triggered by
- A scheduler or an event
- Runs on
- Server
- Decision
- Rules decide; exceptions go to a person
- Example
- Every night, bank transactions are downloaded and matched with ERP records.
Intelligent robot
A robot that reads documents and recommends decisionsDocument→AI→Approval- Triggered by
- An incoming document or email
- Runs on
- Server, with AI
- Decision
- An authorized person approves
- Example
- An incoming invoice is read, compared with the order, and sent for approval if there is a discrepancy.
Document and email reading
Extracts data from invoices, receipts and scanned forms with OCR; classifies emails with natural language processing and routes them to the right person.
Process discovery
Analyzes existing workflows to surface the steps suited for automation and the bottlenecks before you automate.
Works in any environment
Works with legacy systems, web and desktop applications and modern APIs, including Citrix and mainframe environments.
Central robot management
Robots are scheduled and monitored from one place. Credentials are stored in a vault, and every run is written to the audit trail.
The robot does the work,
the process tracks the outcome.
Every robot task is a step in a defined process. If the robot fails, the work is not lost; it goes to the right person as an exception, and the process continues from there.
- 01
Trigger
A schedule, a record or an incoming document starts the robot.
- 02
Robot task
The robot does the work through the screen, an API or a file.
- 03
Control
The result is validated against process rules.
- 04
Exception and approval
Failed or suspicious work goes to the right person.
- 05
Record
Every run, result and decision is written to the audit trail.
What matters is not the number of robots,
but the process as a whole.
Robots built with separate tools turn into a pile over time: which one runs in which process, who owns it and what happens when it fails all become unclear. Butterfly manages robots in the same flow as process orchestration, integration and AI steps. The robot is just one part of this structure.
- Every robot in a separate tool
- When an error occurs, work stops silently
- The result sits in a log file that knows nothing about the process
- The AI step runs without approval
- The robot is a defined step in the process
- Errors go to an exception flow and its owner
- Every run is in the audit trail
- Critical recommendations are applied with human approval
Every department has work
that robots can take over.
Any rule-based, repetitive work that touches more than one system is a candidate for a robot. The examples we see most often:
Finance
- Invoice matchingThe invoice is checked against the purchase order and delivery note; any mismatch goes to approval.
- ReconciliationRecords in two systems are compared and mismatches are listed.
- Expense and tax checksTax is broken out and the current exchange rate is applied to the transaction.
Operations
- ERP data entryData from forms, emails or spreadsheets is entered into the ERP.
- Task assignmentWork is assigned to the right team by rule, and the team is notified.
- Portal tasksDocuments are downloaded from bank, government or supplier portals and attached to the relevant record.
HR and customers
- OnboardingAccounts are opened for the new employee and system access is set up.
- Customer requestsThe CRM record is updated, an email is sent, and complex requests are escalated to the team.
- Report generationData is pulled from multiple sources and a formatted PDF report is produced.
Market data is taken from the sources cited on the cards. These are research findings published by the respective organizations, not Butterfly’s own measurements.
