Getting started
You don't need to configure or download anything to get started with Qlik toepassingsautomatisering, but you need to authenticate the data connections you want to integrate to your workflow.
How do automations work
An automation is a workflow made up of blocks. Some blocks run small basic processes, like receiving user input, printing output to the screen, or sending an email. Other blocks handle more advanced or specialized actions, like comparing lists or running batch loops. Data connector blocks send or receive data to and from cloud applications and data sources. Building an automation is as simple as ordering blocks into a logical workflow and configuring what each block does. Qlik Application Automation provides an easy-to-use visual layer to what is essentially a compiled script that makes API calls. When the automation is executed, it makes API calls for each block.
Who are automations for
Users with the Automation Creator role can create automations. Users can access their personal automations by selecting Analytics or Gegevensintegratie from the navigation menu 
and clicking Automations. Analytics admins and tenant admins can manage automations from the Beheer activity center.
Where are automations created
The automation editor is available from the Analyse or Qlik Talend Data Integration activity centers by clicking Automation and then clicking Create automation. The automation editor is the only place to create automations.
How to connect data sources
The benefit of automations is that you can create workflows that integrate multiple data sources. Many data source connectors are included with Qlik Application Automation, including the Qlik Cloud connector to integrate data directly from your analytics environment.
How start automations
Automations can be started in different ways: manually, scheduled, triggered, or by a webhook. The run mode of the automation can be selected on the automation's Start block.
