RPA worfklows vs. API workflows

The following table aims to help you decide which workflow is better for your needs, and how to merge both solutions:

	RPA workflows	API workflows
Target	Human-centric automations involving user interfaces (UI) and APIs.	System-to-system integrations through APIs.
Speed	Operates at human-like speed.	Executes in real time.
Runtime	Managed robots on virtual or hybrid infrastructure.	Serverless
Usage	Suitable for attended, unattended, and long-running processes.	Suitable for real-time triggers, interactions with external systems, or responding to platform events.
Best for	Automating user interfaces, handling semi-structured tasks, and managing user flows.	API-centric automation scenarios allowing you to integrate structured data and scale logical processes.
