• Key Concepts: 
  An agent is a software component of the Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (IRPA) component of SAP. It is responsible for automating business processes by executing tasks and activities that are triggered by events. Agents can be used to automate repetitive tasks, such as data entry, or to perform more complex tasks, such as decision-making.
  
  How to use it: 
  Agents can be used to automate a variety of tasks within an organization. To use an agent, you must first define the task or process that you want to automate. Once the task is defined, you can create an agent that will execute the task when triggered by an event. The agent can be configured to run on a schedule or in response to specific events.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an agent, it is important to consider the complexity of the task and the resources available. If the task is too complex or requires too many resources, it may be better to break it down into smaller tasks and create multiple agents. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the agent will need to run and how much data it will need to process in order to ensure that it runs efficiently.
