Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting an interruption during an automated workflow. An automated workflow may comprise a series of actions to be performed by or with the assistance of a computer. A workflow manager executes a workflow by progressing through a series of workflow states according to instructions associated with the workflow. When the workflow advances to a new state, an interruption detection engine determines whether the state contains an interruption by examining one or more attributes of the workflow state and/or the user interface associated therewith. An interruption detecting engine may examine a document object model and/or utilize computer vision to determine whether an interruption has occurred. When an interruption is detected, a workflow is paused until the interruption is resolved, such as by a user providing a required input. After an interruption has been resolved, the resumes and continues until completion of the workflow.
