No APIs? No Problem: Automating Complex Interfaces with Wrk’s RPA

Industry Snapshot

Across industries, teams are forced to work in systems that weren’t designed to connect — vendor portals without APIs, desktop apps and green screens with no integration points, or remote environments where screen access is the only option.

Traditional automation tools often hit a wall: they rely on backend access, clean HTML, or structured selectors. When that’s not available, teams are stuck filling in the gaps with copy-paste labor and error-prone handoffs.

Wrk’s RPA platform changes that. Its visual-first automation interacts with what’s on the screen, just like a person would — no deep system access required.

The Challenge

Many Wrk clients reach for RPA when:

• They need to automate web portals that don’t offer APIs

• Internal tools or desktop apps have no integration hooks

• Remote environments (like Citrix or RDP) block backend access

• Compliance-heavy tasks involve scanned forms or image-based inputs

• Teams are overwhelmed with repetitive data entry and manual checks

Even when APIs are available, they’re often too expensive, restrictive, or time-consuming to implement. And for many, switching platforms just to enable automation isn’t realistic. They need a way to bridge the gaps without overhauling their tech stack.

The Wrk Solution

Wrk combines multiple automation approaches — including traditional web RPA and new, vision-first Pixel RPA — to automate workflows that were previously out of reach.

With Vision/Pixel RPA, Wrk doesn’t rely on code or backend structures. It sees the screen like a human would and takes action accordingly, making it ideal for:

• Remote desktops, internal apps, and browser-based portals

• Form entry, field validation, and document handling

• Fast deployment — if a human can do it on-screen, Wrk can too

Paired with OCR, API connectors, and human-in-the-loop support, Wrk offers a flexible, hybrid automation engine that adapts to nearly any environment.

Best of all? Wrk bots run in the cloud. No local installs. No seat-based licensing to manage. No infrastructure upgrades required.

Key Results

Wrk’s hybrid RPA platform delivers meaningful improvements for teams working in disconnected environments:

• Less time spent on manual data entry and cross-checking

• Fewer delays caused by inaccessible APIs or locked-down platforms

• Increased reliability across workflows that used to break with UI changes

• Faster deployment cycles, often with no IT involvement

• Expanded automation coverage without needing to replace existing systems

Wrk reaches the workflows that other platforms can’t — from remote desktops to web portals with no APIs. Its hybrid engine blends traditional and visual automation to fit into existing systems with no code rewrites or infrastructure lift. And with usage-based pricing, you only pay when a workflow runs. No licenses. No wasted overhead.
