Has anyone found a way to manage Sharepoint files within specific folders (originally captured in a list) on an internal Sharepoint without the use of the Sharepoint package?

Hi, I’m facing a problem with OAuth connections.I’ve already configured the connection, and it is working fine. But, after an hour the token status is “expired”. I don´t know how to proceed to refresh the token automatically.I’m using Microsoft Entra. 

I’m new to automation and want to understand how to begin working with AI in real-world projects. Specifically, I’m interested in how to combine automation tools with intelligent systems to improve efficiency and decision-making.What are the first steps to get started with AI Development for automation projects? Should I begin by learning programming languages like Python, or focus on understanding machine learning concepts first? Also, what tools or platforms are recommended for beginners who want to integrate AI into automation workflows?I would appreciate guidance on building simple use cases, such as document processing, chatbots, or predictive automation. Additionally, what are some best practices for choosing the right AI models and ensuring they work effectively within automation systems?Any suggestions, resources, or examples would be really helpful for someone just starting out. 

Hey everyone, sorry if I put this in the wrong place, feel free to move it.I’m brand new to Automation Anywhere and using the Community Edition. To help me get to know my way around, I wanted to see if I could pull data from MSGraph. I basically felt my way through this one in the dark and I’m proud to say that it’s a working flow, with pagination, and it seems efficient; however, I was wondering if there is a better way to do it (other than writing a script). It felt weird to convert from JSON to dictionary, from dictionary to list, and then have to use what seemed to be for logging to write the output to CSV, so my thought is I am likely not following best practice.Here is my flow: I appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance!

I developed a BOT with work item template. How can I schedule BOT when there is item added to queue.

Hi Team, Can anyone help on this issue.I created one process using which I am calling API Task, when I am testing this in private reporsitory I am able to run it but I am not able to run it through public.Note: I created required team, assigned members, assigned process to Team, tried executing process using process. Any help/suggestion is highly appreciated.  

I am using the Recorder: Capture action to select an item from a combobox in an Excel dialogue window. See screenshot of dialogue: dialogue window in Excel The goal is that the bot selects “Column A”. The issue is that the bot is failing to select the item. I can see with my eyes that the bot is clicking or doing something to trigger the dropdown menu to appear, but the bot is failing to actually select the item (“column A”) from the menu. After the action completes, the box appears empty with nothing selected. This action is able to work in a separate task. I have copy/pasted the action from the task where it works, but the action still fails in the main task I am trying to work with. I have tried keystrokes and that did not work either. Here are my Action parameters:Action Parameters 1 of 2Action Parameters 2 of 2Window Variable: Variable Definition  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am new to Automation Anywhere. I am working to transition bots from a different platform to Automation Anywhere. I am trying to select multiple options from a list on a webpage. I’ve tried using the “Recorder” package, but it will only take one input item. So, I tried creating two actions, one for each selection.  The end result was just the second option being selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have downloaded thick client, I have this Employee Database for EmployeeMigration challenge – all opened and functioning well.ButWhen I run the bot (just the very first extremely easy part): capturing Employee ID from  BusyBee and then “setting text” (variables: EmployeeID) into app field (enter the Emp number) – bot works correctly except: it is not pasting the Employee ID like the number taken from BusyBee – looks like nothing was taken from this field and no value was entered in the app field.Why?

Hi,I am trying to assign a Development / Bot Creator license to a user in Control Room, but I get the following error message:'Environment: Automation Anywhere Control Room Symptom: available licenses are displayed, but assignment fails with featurelicenseexceeded'What is strange is that the interface still shows that 2 Bot Creator licenses are available.Has anyone seen this issue before?I would appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot this.Thank you

I’m trying to have my bot download a file.I cannot use the Download File action because I need to provide a custom header. Instead I use the Rest Web Services: Get File Stream action.I use the URI “https://www.cte.iup.edu/cte/Resources/PDF_TestPage.pdf”, and store the download in my “TheFile” variable. (Although this URI doesn’t actually need the aforementioned custom header, my actual for-realsies URI would.)Then I use the Utils: Copy File action with a Source as “$TheFile$” and a Destination as “myDownloadedFile.pdf”.When I run this, it throws an exception when trying to execute the Utils: Copy File action. The exception says "Unable to get the file path when value is created using file stream connection".Am I doing something wrong? Or why doesn’t this work?

I’ve started getting a Device error message when launching bots directly from the Control todayDeploy FailedDevice errorIf the problem persists, please contact your system administrator. Nothing has been changed in the Control Room and nothing has been changed with any devices. I am getting this error when I try to run any bot from my control room on several different devices. These devices are working fine when scheduled bots run. I have checked my devices credentials and the correct username and password have been used. Bots were running just fine yesterday so I can’t understand what may have changed. Can anyone offer any support for this issue please?

Hi everyone,I have a suggestion — can we introduce a new action in Automation Anywhere that provides a list of all tab names?

Hi everyone, I am using an AWS Workspaces as a bot runner. I have developed and run the bots for the screen resolution 1080*1920.Last Sunday, the VM was restarted for maintenance purpose (see  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/workspace-maintenance.html ) → the screen resolution was reset to a different value.Is there a way to avoid this problem ? As it is an AWS Workspaces, it is not easy to set the deployment to RDP (which forces the screen resolution), as it forbids anyone else to connect

Hi everyone,I'm currently exploring MCP integration with AA AI Agent Studio at ai.automationanywhere.com.I understand that AA exposes its automations as an MCP server, which allows external MCP clients like Microsoft Copilot Studio or Claude to call AA automations. This works great.However, I'm trying to do the opposite direction, I want AA's AI Agent Studio to act as an MCP client and connect to our own custom MCP server.I see the "MCP Servers" section in the Advanced Configuration with "Add Server" and pre-configured options like Sentry, but when I add a custom HTTP server with custom headers for Bearer token auth, the connection fails with 401, even though the same endpoint and credentials work fine from other MCP clients (Claude Code, curl, etc.).My questions:Does AI Agent Studio currently support connecting to arbitrary external MCP servers as a client (not just pre-listed ones like Sentry)? Are custom headers (specifically Authorization: Bearer <token>) actually sent during

Hi all, Security team in my company flagged our Automation Anywhere instance as potential vulnerability due to the obsolete version of Log4j-core.jar file. I tried searching for the answers in here and within release notes but the only information I found was regarding the vulnerabilities CVE-2025-xxx with version up to 2.17. This issue is regarding the CVE-2025-68161 and it refers to Apache Log4j 2.0-beta9 < 2.25.3 MitM. As per Apache Log4j 2.0-beta9 < 2.25.3 MitM | Tenable®As far as I could check online there is no subject on forum about releasing a newer version. Do you know if the fix is planned for it in incoming version? And if not is there any way that I would be able to replace the current library with newer one or “install” it separately to A360?We are currently running v39 on Prem with Build 42436.If you would need more details please let me know.

Hi All,  I am looking to process emails that are help on an Exchange on-prem server in public folders. Using the Email Connect action I can access the inbox for an account, but I cant find a syntax to access the public folder. I am hoping that someone has tackled this before and can give some pointers. Cheers, Cameron

I am trying to find the string “tax invoice” on documents, but I need to make the regex case insensitive. Google keeps telling me to use (?i)tax invoice but the TEST REGEX PATTERN does not seem to accept this syntax.  I am hoping that someone can provide some guidance on the support regex syntax library. Thanks in advance, Cameron
