# 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.

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:
