# Creating an automation request

An automation request helps you to automatically streamline your business processes, reduce the time that you spend on manual activities, and reduce your costs.

You can create an automation request in three ways. You can create a request by using the ServiceNow® Service Catalog, from Automation Center, or from Process Mining Workspace.

-   **[Submit an automation request from Service Catalog](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/automation-center/create-automation-request-service-catalog.md)**  
Submit an automation request using the ServiceNow® Service Catalog form to automate your business processes to streamline, reduce time spent on manual activities, and reduce costs.
-   **[Create an automation request from Automation Center](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/automation-center/create-automation-request-autocenter.md)**  
Create an automation request from Automation Center to automatically streamline your business processes, reduce how much time is spent on manual activities, and reduce your costs.
