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.

Python can do it quite well. Look for certain pixels, click if they have a certain value.

As others have said it's better to use other methods like apis where there is context but it's definitely doable.

If it's on the web, I've used selenium for years to get around apis and websites that don't support it.
