[What is Yoom]

Let's actually set up a flow for automation with Yoom.
This time, we will introduce how to set up a workflow to retrieve information from a website daily and notify Discord.

‍

1. Prepare to link Discord's My Apps and browser operations
2. Set the trigger schedule
3. Set up browser operations
4. Set up notifications to Discord

The setup is completed in these four steps, so let's copy the template from the "Try it" banner below.

Please note that browser RPA operations can only be executed up to the testing phase for those without a success plan, but you can try the RPA feature for free for two weeks during the trial period.

How to Create a Flow to Automatically Retrieve Website Information with RPA and Notify Discord

Step 1: Prepare Discord My Apps Integration and Browser Operation

Discord My Apps Integration

Prepare to integrate Yoom with Discord and the Google Chrome extension.

Prepare Browser Operation

Download the Google Chrome extension from this page "Yoom Browser Operation Setup Tool".

‍

※ Please note that you need to allow usage in incognito mode.
※ If you are setting up a flow that requires account information such as login, you need to register account information from My Apps in advance.

When setting up, be sure to check this help page "How to Operate the Browser".

Step 2: Set a Trigger to Start on a Fixed Schedule

Return to the Yoom screen, select "【Copy】Retrieve Website Information Daily and Notify Discord" from the left menu, and choose "When the specified schedule is reached".

Other Automation Examples Using Discord and RPA Features

In addition to the flow introduced this time, you can achieve automation of various tasks by using the APIs of Discord and RPA features.
All of them can be used with simple settings, so if you find something interesting, please give it a try!

Automation Examples Using Discord

Transcribe and Summarize Data, and Notify on Discord

AI automatically transcribes audio and further summarizes it according to a specified format (creating minutes), which should help reduce manual work.

Add/Create Based on Discord Posts

Quickly add post content to facilitate smooth information organization and management for efficient workflow.

Notify on Discord when a schedule is registered

This will allow you to check new schedules on Discord, reducing the chances of missing meetings.

Examples of Automation Using RPA Features

Register in the Company's Core System Using Browser RPA

By using Browser RPA for automatic registration, you can utilize the quoted information and maintain the accuracy of the registration information.

Download and Upload CSV from a Specific Website

Since the data download and upload are automatically completed according to the specified schedule, you may be able to increase the time you can focus on other tasks.

Benefits of Automating Discord with RPA

Benefit 1: Improved Operational Efficiency

By using RPA, you can reliably obtain information from websites at a set time every day.
Since it's not a task performed by humans, you can avoid human errors and process information quickly and accurately.
Additionally, as RPA executes tasks automatically, team members who originally performed these tasks can allocate their time to other duties, potentially improving overall operational efficiency.
This is particularly valuable for tasks that require regular and extensive monitoring of information on a daily basis!

Benefit 2: Real-time Information Sharing

With RPA, you can retrieve information from websites at a set time every day and quickly notify Discord.
This allows teams and stakeholders to receive timely information daily, potentially enabling swift decision-making.
If you set it up so that notifications are sent to the entire team on Discord, discussions based on that data can be conducted on Discord.
Especially in projects or tasks where the freshness of information is crucial, smooth information sharing can positively impact the transition to subsequent tasks.

Conclusion

By automating the retrieval and sharing of information from websites to Discord daily, you can fully automate the process.
Reducing manual tasks helps prevent human errors and enables timely and reliable information sharing.
This can be a useful tool for improving the operational efficiency of the entire team and making swift decisions.

Yoom can enhance the efficiency of various tasks by combining technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR.
