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.

Completing an RPA Challenge

We have come to our last UiPath project for this book—the RPA challenge. This project is also the beginning of our Automation Anywhere project, as we will carry out the RPA challenge with A2019 as well. 

This RPA challenge chapter will introduce you to the concept of handling dynamic elements in a form. This challenge, with dynamically changing fields, is a fun way of trying out your newly acquired UiPath web automation skills. We will also begin our journey with Automation Anywhere A2019 using this challenge. You can, therefore, see how the same challenge can be approached on the new platform, which we will explore further in the next few chapters. 

We will be taking on the challenge at rpachallenge.comThe website has a few challenges that can be completed using any RPA tool. We will take up the Input Forms...
