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.

Handling exceptions for the BuildExcelList workflow

Go to the Catch part of the BuildExcelList sequence and handle System. Exception. Select System. Exception and add a Log Message activity that states, "Cannot read the images list from the Input Folder. Hence terminating the workflow.".

Follow this up by adding a Terminate Workflow activity under the log message to stop the automation process. We're doing this since we cannot proceed further without the images list. Your workflow for the BuildExcelList workflow should look like this:

That completes our BuildExcelList workflow, where we read the image files and wrote their paths into an output Excel sheet. Now, we will perform a unit test for this workflow.
