Quickstart for Beginners2:06
Get to know the objectives and content of the course better.
Robotic Process Automation - The Basics3:12
What is Robotic Process Automation, what can we do with it and what is a suitable RPA process anyway? We want to answer all these questions in this lesson.

Automation Anywhere Community Edition2:11
You will get to know the Automation Anywhere Community Edition. You will also learn how to set up your own Community Edition.
Automation Anywhere Control Room Tour3:30
I'll show you the Automation Anywhere Control Room and explain which areas are important for you.
Installing Bot Agent Software1:47
We can use the Bot Agent software to connect our computer to the Control Room. You will learn how this works here.
Automation Anywhere Development Space6:30
Starting your first development can be overwhelming. So let's take a look at the development environment together.

Introduction RPA Challenge5:55
Most Important Tool - Recorder I14:05
The recorder is our most important action for recording and executing interface automations. In this lesson, we will learn the basic use of this action.
Let's Get Dynamic - Recorder II15:03
In order to be able to automate dynamic fields with the recorder, we need to dive deeper into the object properties of the recorder. This enables us to automate even the most complex applications.
Think Inside Boxes - Variables18:37
Variables are an important tool for building dynamic bots. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic concept of variables and some important variable types.
Read and Process Excel Files12:37
Excel files are often the data basis for RPA solutions. We therefore learn how to open and process them.
The Power of Loops - Repeating with Purpose13:00
The last important step in solving the RPA challenge is loops. Here we learn how we can process lists, tables or Excel files in loops.

Advanced RPA Challenge4:10
Anyone can solve the normal RPA challenge. ? So let's take a look at the advanced RPA challenge.
Controlling Applications8:10
We learn how applications can be started and configured. We also take a closer look at how to use Windows.
Keeping Things Organized - Subtasks15:03
In order to structure bots better and make them reusable, it makes sense to introduce the concept of subtasks. They help us to divide complex use cases into easy-to-automate chunks.
If This, Do That - Conditional Logic11:17
Rules and conditions make it possible to implement logic in the bot. We learn how to use if-conditions in a practical example.
Error Handling8:09
Building robust and resilient bots doesn't have to be difficult or complicated. Let's take a look at the basic concept behind it - Try-Catch
Creating Transparency - Logging10:48
To avoid the bot acting as a black box, it helps to implement technical logging. We will learn about a log standard and how to use it.

Description

Welcome to Your Introduction to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with Automation Anywhere!

In this course, you’ll learn how to create your first automations as an aspiring RPA Developer or Citizen Developer – no prior experience required!

I’ll guide you step-by-step, from ordering and installing the Automation Anywhere Community Edition to configuring your development environment. By the end, you’ll be ready to build bots with confidence.

Throughout the course, you’ll work on a real-world RPA Challenge, where you’ll apply the most important features and learn best practices from professional bot development. Here’s what you’ll master:

Recorder Functionality: Automate repetitive tasks by recording and replaying processes.
Variables: Use different variable types (Number, String, List, Boolean) to create dynamic solutions.
Excel Automation: Read, write, and format Excel files to use them as input for your bots.
Loops: Simplify repetitive tasks by processing lists or entire Excel files efficiently.
Error Handling & Logging: Build robust, reliable bots with Try-Catch blocks and technical logging.
Subtasks: Modularize your bots for better reusability and transparency.

This course is highly practical, with plenty of hands-on exercises to help you apply what you’ve learned immediately. By the end, you’ll have the tools to identify automation opportunities and build your own RPA solutions.

Start today and discover how Automation Anywhere can transform the way you work!
