# Ideating our first process

## :bulb: A sample business process

Let's assume that we want to automate a process in which someone makes a time-off request in your organization:

* **Lois** is in charge of approving all incoming requests. 
* If the request is approved, it should send an email to the requestor confirming the start and end date of the time-off granted. 
  * At the same time, **Clark** should manually (for now) update the Google Calendar of the company to ensure that everyone is aware.

In case that **Lois** denies the request, it should simply let the requestor know via email.

{% hint style="info" %}
The process in this guide is for demonstration purposes only. Seliom processes can be as simple or as complex as you need them to be.
{% endhint %}

Let's go ahead and automate this process on Seliom:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.seliom.com/getting-started/start-exploring/ideating-our-first-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
