Overview of this book

Robotic Process automation helps businesses to automate monotonous tasks that can be performed by machines. This project-based guide will help you progress through easy to more advanced RPA projects. You’ll learn the principles of RPA and how to architect solutions to meet the demands of business automation, along with exploring the most popular RPA tools - UiPath and Automation Anywhere. In the first part, you’ll learn how to use UiPath by building a simple helpdesk ticket system. You’ll then automate CRM systems by integrating Excel data with UiPath. After this, the book will guide you through building an AI-based social media moderator using Google Cloud Vision API. In the second part, you’ll learn about Automation Anywhere's latest Cloud RPA platform (A2019) by creating projects such as an automated ERP administration system, an AI bot for order and invoice processing, and an automated emergency notification system for employees. Later, you’ll get hands-on with advanced RPA tasks such as invoking APIs, before covering complex concepts such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning in automation to take your understanding of RPA to the next level. By the end of the book, you’ll have a solid foundation in RPA with experience in building real-world projects.

Automation Anywhere projects  recap

With this project, we completed five projects with Automation Anywhere A2019 that have increased in complexity. Here is what we've covered: 

  • We started with the Automation Anywhere A2019 platform by solving an RPA challenge. This included performing basic automation, along with handling dynamic elements in forms.
  • Then, we learned how to use web automation by creating sales orders in the Apptivo application.
  • Next, we learned about how to perform user administration with bots by creating new users in a SaaS application.
  • Then, we completed an exciting project that sent emergency text messages using the Twilio API.
  • In this final project, we learned how to use AI to extract meaningful data from scanned documents using Automation Anywhere IQ Bot.

With that, we have covered five different projects using Automation Anywhere and UiPath!
