Combining RPA systems and human operators

Integrating RPA Systems with Human Workflows

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) excels at automating repetitive, rule-based tasks, but many business processes require a combination of automated and human-driven activities. Tallyfy provides the orchestration layer that connects RPA systems with human workflows, creating comprehensive end-to-end process automation.

The human-RPA integration challenge

RPA platforms like UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism effectively automate predictable, structured tasks. However, most business processes contain elements that require human judgment, decision-making, or exception handling. This creates several challenges:

  • Process fragmentation - Automated and manual steps exist in separate systems
  • Visibility gaps - Limited insight into the complete process status
  • Coordination issues - Difficulty managing handoffs between bots and humans
  • Accountability concerns - Unclear responsibility for process outcomes

Tallyfy as the orchestration layer

Tallyfy addresses these challenges by providing a unified platform that:

  1. Coordinates the entire process - Manages both automated and human tasks in a single workflow
  2. Provides end-to-end visibility - Shows status of both RPA and human activities
  3. Facilitates effective handoffs - Transitions work between systems and people
  4. Maintains accountability - Tracks responsibility throughout the entire process

Implementation architecture

The typical integration architecture includes:

  • RPA bots executing automated tasks
  • Tallyfy API managing the process flow and task assignments
  • Human operators completing tasks requiring judgment
  • API-based communication between all systems

Example: Employee Onboarding Process

The following screenshot shows how Tallyfy orchestrates an employee onboarding process that combines RPA and human tasks:

Tallyfy RPA integration example

In this example:

  • RPA handles structured tasks like system access provisioning (marked with automation icons)
  • Human operators manage judgment-based activities like document review
  • Tallyfy tracks status across both automated and manual steps
  • The entire process remains visible in a single Tallyfy interface

Business benefits

This integrated approach delivers advantages:

  • Process acceleration - Automation of appropriate tasks while maintaining quality
  • Error reduction - Consistent execution of repetitive activities
  • Enhanced visibility - Complete process transparency across all activities
  • Improved adoption - User-friendly interface for business teams
  • Greater flexibility - Modification of process flows without technical debt

Pro > Integrations

Tallyfy transforms from an isolated workflow tool into a comprehensive business process orchestration hub through multiple integration methods including Open API for custom development webhooks for real-time notifications middleware platforms for no-code connections AI agents for legacy systems and native integrations that coordinate across entire technology ecosystems for maximum organizational efficiency.

Zapier > Tallyfy & Zapier

Tallyfy and Zapier work together to create an effective task management system by combining human-driven process management with automated application connections that streamline workflows while maintaining accountability and human oversight.

Computer Ai Agents > RPA vs. Computer AI Agents

Businesses must understand the fundamental differences between RPA which follows rigid rule-based scripts for structured data tasks and Computer AI Agents which use artificial intelligence to adaptively handle complex unstructured tasks with Tallyfy serving as the orchestration platform that manages both automation types within comprehensive business processes.
