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.

Moving the Excel file to the Processed folder

We will copy the Excel file that we processed to the Processed folder and then delete the original file. Here are the steps to do so:

  1. Add a new Step action with the title Move to Processed Folder.
  1. Add a File Copy action and choose the Source file as your original SO Excel sheet. Choose the Destination file/folder as the folder where you want to place the processed files (create one if you do not have one):

  1. We will now delete the original Excel file. Add a File Delete action and point the file property to the original SO Excel file.
  2. Finally, let's add a success message for the bot to confirm. Add a Message box with message to display as Success! All Sales Orders Created and file moved to Processed Folder.

That completes the configuration for the automation. Let's now run it.
