Do I need to know which specialist to hire?
No. Describe the retyping. Hire Freelancer scopes the path and brings in the skills it needs.
You do not need to hire a data-entry clerk or an automation specialist to interview. Name the retyping (email to Xero, form to spreadsheet, spreadsheet to CRM). Hire Freelancer scopes that path as one project.

People search for a virtual assistant, a developer, or an “automation freelancer”. The work is the same: a person copies a field from one place into another, every day, and the errors show up in invoices or the CRM.
Hire Freelancer starts from that path. The first milestone is a map of the steps worth automating. Later milestones connect them. The category is data and AI or software when a small app has to sit in the middle. A related example is business process automation.
Which system is the source, which is the destination, which fields must match, and what happens when a record fails. An unnamed tool is a change, not an assumption. If the source is still a spreadsheet the team will not give up, say so — that is a different outcome on replace spreadsheets with a web application.
You approve the map, then the first live path. You are not interviewing someone who “knows Zapier”.
Price is a project figure in AUD plus GST. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 6:00pm. Hire Freelancer is the point of responsibility, including the check against a real example before handover. Post the outcome on post a project. The stages are on how it works.
The category this sits under is Data & AI.

Yes, when those tools are named. Connecting Xero and a CRM is a common version of the same outcome: integrate Xero with a CRM.
Only if the brief says the assistant should do the entry. Most data-entry work is a quiet path between systems, not a chat window.
Say so. The scope can leave exceptions for a person and automate the rest.
Start without a perfect brief
A sentence, a file, or a rough budget is enough to open the project. Clarifying questions come before any work is scoped.
