How to automate this
Good news: this is a strong candidate to automate now.
Repetitive computer work
Record the steps once, then replay them.
- 1Record the exact clicks and keystrokes you repeat to process large amounts of data for statistical modeling and graphic analysis, using computers, then replay them with shortcuts, text expanders, and macros.
- 2Automate multi-app workflows with no-code (Power Automate, Zapier, Make).
- 3For browser routines, use a record-and-replay tool.
