# Tutorial: Create an Automation from Start to Finish

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

MuleSoft Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables you to automate workflows that contain
time-consuming manual tasks and integrate them with your MuleSoft Composer flows.

During this tutorial, you create a simple automation project that accesses the MuleSoft website,
subscribes to the newsletter, uses optical character recognition (OCR) to confirm that the process
finishes successfully, and then you configure a Composer flow to execute the automated process.

Follow these steps to complete the end-to-end automation journey:

- [Step 1. Prerequisites for Creating an Automation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-prerequisites)

- [Step 2. Evaluate a Process for Automation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-evaluate)

- [Step 3. Create the Automation Project](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-create)

- [Step 4. Design the BPMN Diagram for the Automation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-design)

- [Step 5: Build the Automation from the BPMN diagram](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-build)

- [Step 6: Test the Automation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-test)

- [Step 7: Publish the Automation to Exchange](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-deploy)

- [Step 8: Integrate the Automation with Composer Flows](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-composer)

- [Step 9: Monitor the Automation](https://docs.mulesoft.com/rpa-home/automation-tutorial-monitor)

After you’ve experienced the end-to-end journey, use the model you created to plan your next
automation projects.
