Accessing a COM component through Automation means using a well-known interface to access to a group of methods and properties. This interface is called '''IDispatch''', and it includes the method <eiffel>invoke</eiffel> that allows calling a method, setting or getting a property on the Automation server.

One advantage of this approach is that the interface has a known virtual table layout. As a result, Windows can include a built-in marshaler for that interface (See [[Deeper into COM]] for information on marshalers). The supported types (known as Automation types) and their Eiffel equivalents are listed in the following table: One advantage of this approach is that the interface has a known virtual table layout.
