I wouldn't tell the employer. I'm guessing they don't care about you and they will take your idea, use it, maybe get rid of you without any compensation for creating the automation.
The job you've been hired for is being completed by a tool you made, and you're getting paid. Maybe look for something more appropriate to your skill set like another post suggested.
Oh and if you're feeling guilty you can read this story about Alcatel stealing IP and forcing a guy to work like a slave.
