Test with confidence: the dry-run

We test with a dry run: the agent works on a real document, but changes nothing. We paste in the POFID of the small invoice and start. Dry run successful. The agent has found the amount, one thousand nine hundred and eighty euros, below the threshold, and would mark the invoice as reviewed. Below you can see each step: First, it read the document, then it prepared the change. It was not executed; that was just a simulation. Only after a successful test can you turn on the automation. This way, no agent runs on your documents that you haven’t tried out first.

Enable automation mode

So we switch on Automation mode. From now on, the agent reacts to the start event automatically. There is also the Execution approval setting. If it is turned on, the agent asks a person before every change, for each document. We only want to be asked for large invoices, so we have placed our approval in the description.
