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.

Assigning user data to row variables

We will loop through the ExtractedUserData variable and delineate each row for String manipulation in the following steps:

  1. Add a new Step action with the Title as Loop DataTable. Add it outside the previous Step, but still within the Try block. 

  2. Within this Step action, add a Loop action to step through each row in the Table, set the Table variable as ExtractedUserData, and Assign the current row to a new Record variable called CurrentRow (create this with the wizard), as shown here:

  1. Under the previous loop, let's add another Loop action to step through each item in the row. For that, we will iterate through each value in the record, set the Record variable as CurrentRow, and assign the current value to a new variable called CurrentValue, as shown here: 

  1. Within the second loop, we will check for the row number and assign it to the respective row name. Let's add a counter variable...
