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.

Scheduling the process

You can also create a trigger so that the process runs at scheduled intervals. To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Click on Triggers from the left-hand pane.
  2. Click on Add (the plus (+) sign) and choose Time on the next screen.
  3. Provide a Name for the trigger.
  4. Choose your timezone.
  5. Choose the Process you like to schedule.
  6. Choose your specific Robot.
  7. Select the schedule you'd like the process to run (for example, you can schedule as Daily and add a specific time).
  8. Finally, click on Add to schedule the process.

This is how you publish to Orchestrator and run or schedule a Robot. You can do this to run any of the UiPath projects in this book.
