Bot Store download process changed?

​Please provide an option to download as zip as well. Friction via zip file is fine with us where IT restrictions take priority. Sending email to get .zip is worse friction than .msi. Good intentions though for reducing friction.

Hi @Brendan Foley​,

thanks for your reply.

But how long do i have to wait until i get a response from the bot store if i ask for the zip files?

Hi AA Team,

as Hakan Ayranci told that is very important thing who are required fast development, my customer also eagerly waiting

to remove MSI and keep only zip files. You know AA is one of the top brand most of the domains they are using as part of their security they wont allow to install MSI files into systems it is time consuming process. Please take as priority on this and help the customers to server as best solution in the market.

Thanks

Hi @Brendan Foley​,

yes but we have two wait one or maybe two day until we get the Zip file via Mail.

Bhaskara: Please send a request for the zip file for the Bot you are interested in to botstore@automationanywhere.com and we will get that to you promptly.

Thank you Aziz for the Prompt Response.

You can send email as zip to my email. but we want use the bots in client place, so better if possible you can enable the option in website to download from BotStore so that, it will help lot to the community.

@Reddibhaskara Reddy Bandlapalli​ and @Hakan Ayranci​ -- I checked with our Bot Operations team, and they are looking into your request. To make it easier for you to install a bot from the Bot Store, they are exploring capabilities that will allow you to subscribe to Bot Store bots directly from your Automation Anywhere environment. This feature will be available in a future maintenance release of Automation Anywhere Enterprise. (I don't have a timeframe update but can provide one when available.)

Hi BrendanF102817 ,

I sent email to botstore@automationanywhere.com in 25/3 to request zip file of a bot in store;

After 4 days- in 29/3 i received the below answer without any zip files.

Additionally if Business Critical, please reach out to your respective CSM and the Bot Store team will work them to distribute what is needed.

I think that integrating Client <-> bot store is good solution, but when will you publish it?

If the answer is "next week" - it will be ok; but if the answer is "next month" or "this year" then you should enable the zip solution as a temporary solution until you complete the integrating solution.
