How to automate the process of using outputs from R as inputs in another software?

My programming skills are very limited and am a quite new user in R language. Currently I am doing some (non-statistical) data analyses in RStudio. The outputs from these analyses act as inputs to a microsimulation program VISSIM. Once I complete my analyses in RStudio, I manually enter a lot of values in VISSIM. Is there any possibility that I could automate this process i.e. the final values automatically get entered into VISSIM? If there is one, what should I learn for that? Please guide to a newbie. I am ready to learn anything new. This can save a lot of time.

Following is GUI of VISSIM. Different menus take different input options: enter image description here

The standard method of sending data to VISSIM is through its COM interface. The languages people typically use are MATLAB, C++, C#, Python, Java, and VBA. In your documents folder you should have a PTV Vision folder. Search it for a folder entitled 'Basic Commands' which contains a lot of sample code.
