What other process automations can I do?

Thoughtful can automate any online application and most desktop applications as well. For example, let's say you want a printout of the Benefits Summary when our Patient Eligibility Bot is doing its job. We can have it save the Benefits Summary as a PDF to Sharepoint, Google or any other secure file sharing application you choose. It can create folders and update spreadsheets to log the results. It can even send emails, teams, or slack notification for those patients found to be not eligible. The processes, applications and possibilities truly are endless.
