How you automate tasks which have a gui app instead of CLI? (lemmy.world)

I am trying to use powershell to setup a process that off boards users and doing the AD side of things is great but I am not sure how to use powershell to interact with our other software that only has a gui.

For example user management in studio3T where they only have a web UI or an application that you can download and run locally.

As others have said - automating something with a GUI can get nasty. That being said, PowerAutomate isn't terrible, nor is UiPath. I've also used Autohotkey, but it has a steep learning curve.
