Do you want to use Automation 360 to automate your digital work? Then you need to watch this tutorial.

Follow along with me to explore the features of the RPA Workspace so that you can get started building bots, then build a simple bot that asks for your name and prints a welcome message to the screen.

In this tutorial, you’ll get hands on with A360 to…

• Learn new ways to create RPA bots and folders to organize them in the A360 Control Room.

• Edit the details of a bot that has already been created, including the name, description, and file location.

• Explore the Actions sidebar, where the various Package commands that automate processes are found.

• Examine the Variables sidebar, where different variable can be created and stored alongside default variables.

• Peruse the Triggers section, where various tools can be found that determine when your bot runs based on certain conditions that you define.

• Tour the RPA Workspace in order to find where the remaining features are located that you’ll need to build bots.

• Build a bot that asks the user for their name, and then prints a welcome message to the screen.

Once you finish this tutorial, you should be familiar enough with the RPA Workspace to build bots with me for the remainder of the Citizen Developer series.

Do you want to build automated prompts to get input from the user? Watch this tutorial to learn how.

Follow along with me to build four Automation 360 RPA bots that utilize the Prompt package to get different types of input from the user and then display the output to the screen.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over:

• Prompt: For Value

• Prompt: For Yes/No

• Prompt: For File

• Prompt: For Folder

• How to utilize each of the above package commands to get and store input from the user.

Once you’ve built these bots, you’ll be prepared for the next course, where we’ll take data received from the Prompt action and log it to TXT and CSV files for permanent storage.

So you have some data, but how can you log it to a file with A360? Find out in this hand-on tutorial.

I’ll walk you through how to use Automation 360’s Log to File command by building two bots with you, step-by-step, that write data to TXT and CSV files such as runtime logs and new employee information.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over:

• The Log to File package command.

• The differences between TXT and CSV files.

• How to append to or overwrite files with new data.

• How to add a date and time to any log

After following this tutorial and building these two bots, you’ll be prepared to perform some more advanced commands using the File package to manipulate files at runtime.

Most RPA bots need to work with Files in one way or another. Follow this tutorial to find out how.

Follow along with me to build three RPA bots in Automation 360 that create, copy, rename, and delete files on your system, as well as create shortcuts to those files.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over:

• File: Copy Desktop File

• File: Create

• File: Create Shortcut

• File: Delete

• File: Open

• File: Rename

• How to rename files according to user input.

Once you’ve built these three bots, we’ll apply the same principles in the next walkthrough to learn more about the Folder package, so that we can use Automation Anywhere to manipulate the properties of folders on your machine as well.

Want your RPA bots to make decisions based on certain conditions? Follow this tutorial to learn how!

In this course, I’ll walk you through implementing Automation 360’s If package to enable you bot to make decisions based on whether files and folders exist or not, as well as how to set alternate and default conditions with the Else If and Else commands.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over:

• If: File Exists

• If: File Doesn’t Exist

• If: Folder Exists

• If: Folder Doesn’t Exist

• If: Else If

Need your RPA bots to repeat a process multiple times? Follow this tutorial to learn how to use Loops in Automation 360!

In this course, we’ll build 2 bots using the Loop package in A360 so that we can write a block of code once and repeat it multiple times or while certain file\folder conditions exist.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over:

• Loop: For N Times

• Loop: While File Exists

• Loop: While File Doesn’t Exist

• Loop: While File Size

• Loop: While Folder Exists

• Loop: While Folder Doesn’t Exist

NOTE: Loop While File Exists\Doesn’t Exist and Loop While Folder Exists\Doesn’t Exist are not explicitly demonstrated in this course (though they are discussed) as they function identically to the same actions demonstrated in the If 101 course.

We’ll use these commands to create two bots – one of which simulates collecting polling data from multiple people, while the other creates and logs thousands of serial numbers for a telecom company.

Write less code with Loops and build better bots!

Recommended Packages:

• Log to File

• File

• Folder

• If

• Loop

• Excel Basic

• Browser

• PDF

• Email

For this bot, you’ll download PDF files of prospective soccer players, extract data from them, and compile them into a single Excel file that you’ll email to your boss, all while storing each PDF in a folder for the scout that brought them to you.

Want your RPA bots to run when you use a Hot Key Trigger? Watch this tutorial to find out how.

In this walkthrough, we’ll learn how to use Automation 360’s Trigger package to start your bot and perform different blocks of code based on different hot keys. Understand the difference between using triggers before and during a bot’s execution.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over:

• Trigger: Hot Key Trigger

• Trigger: Trigger Loop

• Trigger: Handle

• Trigger: Break

We’ll use the Trigger package to build a bot that simulates the patient intake process at the front desk of an emergency room. The main issue here is that we don’t want to have to go to A360 and click Run when a patient arrives because time is a factor. Instead, we’d like to press a certain combination of keys to quickly start the bot when a patient comes in. For that, we’ll be using a Trigger to start our bot.
