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.

Passing the parameters and invoking SafeSearch 

Now, we will call the SafeSearch workflow from Main using the configured parameters to get the updated Excel file. This file can then be used by our administrator to review and moderate the files within it:

  1. Let's go back to the main workflow and add a new sequence called Perform Safe Search Sequenceright after Get Google API Credentials Sequence.  
  2. Within that new sequence, add an Invoke Workflow File activity and point it to SafeSearch.xaml.
  3. Click on Import Arguments and map the strGoogleClientID and strSecureKey variables to the input arguments, as shown in the following screenshot:

This completes the Perform Safe Search Sequence part of the main workflow.

Now that the bot has processed the images, let's move the completed the files to another folder. The administrator can then add new images for processing.
