Is there a simple way to deploy a bot on local device with a creator license without going via Control room and clicking ‘Run’?
For example, can I click a desktop shortcut which will start bot on my device?
Solved
Start bot from desktop shortcut?

Hello,
Unfortunately, using creator or attended lisence there is no direct method to run the bot from a desktop shortcut. However, I can offer the following suggestions for you to try and achieve this:
- Implement a hotkey trigger, enabling you to run the bot by pressing a specific keystroke on your machine.
Example: CTRL+g+h to run the payments bot.
The only challenge lies in activating the control room login on the machine.
To address this issue, you can activate the login through an control room API or by utilizing scripts.
If you are using unattended bot licence for runner you can use hot keys effectively without any problems.
Here is link to setup hot keys : https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/aae-client/attended-automation/add-hot-key-trigger.html

But it is best to use linkpay as it is much more reliable and convenient way for transactions

Thanks for the suggestions! Implementing a hotkey trigger sounds like a useful workaround for running the bot. I’ll give it a try and look into the control room login activation. Appreciate the help!
The other option would be to use an API call to the Bot Deploy API to trigger the bot from a script. One caveat, IIRC this works only if the bot is checked into Public.
