Overview

In this project, I built an automation solution to tackle a common headache in HR operations: manually entering employee data from spreadsheets into web forms, a task that's both time consuming and prone to errors when handling large batches. Using Microsoft Power Automate Desktop, Excel, and Chrome, I developed an end-to-end workflow that reads structured employee information and automatically populates an online form for each record. The automation successfully processed 15 employee submissions in just over 2 minutes (165 seconds), demonstrating significant time savings compared to manual entry while maintaining accuracy across all fields including names, contact details, departments, and designations.

The technical implementation uses Excel automation for data extraction, 'For Each' loop-based scripting for iterative processing, and UI automation to handle dynamic web interactions like dropdown selections and form submissions. I also built in 'On Error/Block' error handling to catch issues like missing files or submission failures, ensuring the workflow remains reliable at scale. This project showcases my ability to identify operational bottlenecks and apply automation principles to create practical solutions that directly improve efficiency in business processes like employee onboarding. You can see the complete workflow demonstration and step-by-step breakdown in the video, which walks through the entire automation from start to finish with real-time execution.
