Robotic Process Automation Projects

By: Nandan Mullakara, Arun Kumar Asokan

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.

  1. In the Main.xaml file, double-click on the Init state block. Go to the Invoke InitiAllApplications workflowclick on Import Arguments, and add the newly created Browser variable to store the value of the out_Browser argument:

That is all for the updates to the Init state for this project.

The next state in ReFramework is the GetTransactionData state. This state processes the items in the Orchestrator queue one by one. You can also get the automation to process data from spreadsheets, databases, emails, or Web APIs. Since we have added our PO entries...
