How the SARS eFiling connection works

1. Authenticate

SARS eFiling uses oAuth 2.0 (client credentials). Save the connection once and reuse it across every process.

2. Build the process

Drop SARS eFiling steps onto the process map alongside desktop, browser, Excel and email steps.

3. Run it attended or unattended

Trigger on a schedule, an email, or a file landing in a folder. Credentials stay encrypted and every run is audited.

Because SARS eFiling has an API, Automize talks to it directly in the cloud — no bot needed on a desktop. Where a system has no API, an Automize bot drives its interface instead.
