automatable
Can be scripted
Automatable describes tasks, processes, or jobs that can be performed by machines or software without human intervention.
The word gained currency as computing and robotics advanced: Data entry is highly automatable.
Whether something is automatable often depends on how routine and rule-based it is—repetitive factory work is more automatable than creative problem-solving.
