Need to streamline repetitive tasks for each automation project?
Need to improve your existing logging and documenting capabilities?
I’ve got a solution for you!
I’m Sumit Kumar, an RPA consultant with over seven years of experience developing scalable automation solutions. I’d like to introduce you to my newly released Bot Framework package, now available in Bot Store.
I specifically developed this package to help teams streamline bot development, enhance logging, and facilitate comprehensive documentation within tasks for the Automation Success Platform. That means you can eliminate the need to maintain multiple task files required to perform config reading, manage the environment's storage, application state, logging, and more.
KEY ACTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE
Each activity or action of the package displays a clickable documentation icon to learn more about the feature and exactly how to use it. Some key actions of this package include:
-
Config Read CSV/Excel/JSON/XML: Streamlines the import of configuration data into dictionaries from various file formats
-
Device Create Folders: Automates the creation of directories, ensuring the existence of necessary parent directories
-
Device Delete Files/Folders: Allows for the rule-based deletion of files or folders with options to exclude specific items

-
Log Message: Provides session-based logging with options for detailed messages and screenshots
-

Personally, my favorite feature is the robust logger. This useful action will automatically capture the task location, username, machine name, screenshot, and nested and complex variables in visual format for smoother development and maintenance.
Note: The code is also available to adapt as needed—the GitHub releases section will have the most up-to-date version.
