Overview of this book

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables automating business processes using software robots. Software robots interpret, trigger responses, and communicate with other systems just like humans do. Robotic processes and intelligent automation tools can help businesses improve the effectiveness of services faster and at a lower cost than current methods. This book is the perfect start to your automation journey, with a special focus on one of the most popular RPA tools: UiPath. Learning Robotic Process Automation takes you on a journey from understanding the basics of RPA to advanced implementation techniques. You will become familiar with the UiPath interface and learn about its workflow. Once you are familiar with the environment, we will get hands-on with automating applications such as Excel, SAP, Windows and web applications, screen and web scraping, working with user events, and we'll cover exceptions and debugging. By the end of the book, you'll not only be able to build your first software robot, but you'll also wire it up to perform various automation tasks with the help of best practices for robot deployment.

When to use Flowcharts, State Machines, or Sequences

A Sequence is used only when we have a selected a straightforward set of instructions on how to create a workflow. That is, we do not have to make decisions. It is preferred when we are recording some steps in a sequential manner and we are creating a simple workflow. One such sequence is shown in the following screenshot:

Now, when it comes to State Machines and Flowcharts, both are used for complex processes and both work well. They work in the same manner, but State Machines have some advantages over Flowcharts, which are listed as follows:

  • Complex transitions are much clearer with State Machines as they have an inbuilt layout of the workflow.
  • Flowcharts do not inherently have the concept of waiting for something to happen. State Machines do (a transition will not occur until a trigger completes and the condition evaluates...
