Hi everyone I’ve been exploring AI development in automation lately and wanted to hear how others are approaching it. I’ve tried things like NLP for documents and adding AI-based decision-making into workflows—it’s powerful, but also comes with challenges.Curious to know:How are you using AI in your projects? Built-in tools or external APIs? Any challenges or tips to share?Would love to hear your experiences and learn from the community  #AIDevelopment #Automation #RPA

Hi, does anyone have an idea how to move an email from Inbox subfolder to another? I’m using webmail roundcube, but everytime I run it, it will encounter an error on the said action. TIA! 

Hi,I’m Dheeraj Sudan, a software developer living and working in the United Kingdom. Can anyone share tips How to convert string variable into file variable?Thanks in Advance! 

This is more a curiosity question than anything. I recently interviewed with a potential new customer, and one of their technical staff cited the inability to connect to an AI model through LangChain as a shortcoming of A360. Today apparently they are doing this through python. I am no expert in LangChain, but I would think this could be done through a task calling python code and configuring the connection to the model. You would of course need the correct libraries installed on the Bot Runner(s). From there you could call the appropriate LangChain tools as needed. Am I way off on this? When I suggested this method the customer’s technical engineer scoffed like I am crazy.

Hi, I’ve been recommended the Employee Data Migration Challenge as a good example of using REST API functions but the link provided is dead :https://developer.automationanywhere.com/challenges/automationanywherelabs-employeedatamigration.htmlI can’t see Challenges anywhere in the site - can someone advise where to find them please?Thanks 

下記の記事を参考にしてGitからの復元を実施しようと考えています。Git リポジトリからの bots の復元以下2点質問です。オプションメニュー「Gitリポジトリに重複がある場合」を”既存のファイルをスキップ”を選択した場合、文字どおりであれば差分がないデータは上書きされず差分があるもののみCRの公開環境に戻ると認識しているのですがあっていますでしょうか？また、差分があるものすべてではなく、ピンポイントで戻すことは不可能という認識であっていますでしょうか？ 有識者の皆様、お助けいただきたく存じます。よろしくお願いいたします

Hi everyone,I am trying to use Document Automation to extract data.Unfortunately, some rows are extracted after the end of the table. I click on an element to define it as “End of table indicator”, and I manually delete rows after this indicator. However, the next time I process the exact same file the End of table indicator is no more present and the exact same rows are extracted after the end of the table. How could that be solved ?

I am using the Community Edition.  I need to use Google Sheets.  I have successfully connected to Google Sheets, opened a sheets, and pulled data.  I am doing this successfully in a child bot (A) (I do not need to access it in the parent). In Bot (A), I connect, open, do stuff, close, and disconnect.However, as soon as I try to go to another child bot (B), it says I already have the session open even though I am using a completely different session name in Bot B (the error says I have session B opened).  Again, in Bot B I am Connecting, Opening, doing stuff, closing, and disconnecting.  I am not sure how the 2 sessions would be connected.I have tried alternative methods like connecting and opening in the parent and passing a string with the session name to the children but then it says I don’t have a session open.How can I do this??? 

Hello,  I am building an automation that processes different transfers in a Workday report.  The report lives in Workday and if a record in this report needs to be skipped I want it to go to the next record.  I currently have it set up for a Loop based on the total records in the report.  Has anyone build an automation that would skip various records if needed.  Thanks! 

Basically my ERP generates a document page in new tab with dynamic title. URL of this page always remain same but title changes. Initially I tried to explore if I can track page using URL instead of Title however no luck. There is no pattern in window title. I tried to put wild card in title expecting window will be captured using URL, however no luck as it was capturing any random window ignoring URLI need to setup automation to click download button to download pdf document. So I am trying to set title of the page to fixed name by using Currently Active Window so that I can play with fixed title page. Also I need this title change so that I can close all open document windows. However, window set title is also not working. Any help will be appreciated! 

Hello,I noticed that there is no option to select API-key authentication as the authentication method within the REST Web Services package. Is there an alternate way of doing this? Thank you 

I have a shared mailbox added under my Outlook profile, and I want to use that shared mailbox ID to send emails to recipients. However, there is no such option available in the Send command in Automation Anywhere. I tried using the Connect command and selected the shared mailbox, and then used the Send Email action, but the email is still being sent from my default email ID.Does anyone know how to send emails using a shared mailbox ID/ ‘Send on Behalf’ in Automation Anywhere?

How can I use recorder capture to get text or set text in a window element where the window does not have any title?I have a desktop application where I need to enter text as input or fetch text as output, but I’m unable to do any of the task that involves a window title.I’ve tried all possible object properties (Parent, Class Name, ID etc.) and even used anchor - none of these seem to work.Keyboard shortcuts may work, but those are less reliable as in that case I won’t be able to validate if required checkbox is selected or if the text in entered in desired textbox.Any suggestion?

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?

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!

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?

is it possible to extract PDF information of personal banking account statement, and Insert into corresponding Excel Spreadsheet using Automation

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?
