Error During Getting started with Automation Co-Pilot for Automators Course

Hi, when doing the “Task automation Prompt” part of the course “Getting started with Automation Co-Pilot for Automators” I get the following message error: 

 

“The tool returned an error message: "Task bot on Windows platform does not support the following actions in the packages: API Task." This means the requested automation cannot be planned as described due to platform limitations.

Would you like to:

Update the request to remove or modify the API Task requirement?
Provide additional details to adjust the automation process?
Let me know how you'd like to proceed!”

 

This occurs when using the prompt:

“Create a task automation that is part of a process. This task sends customers with a ticket status of "closed" a survey. The status is verified via API Task. Present a message on screen, verifying the email was sent to the Customer. Export this data into a CSV file.”

Best!!

@IYS Hello. I have to agree with the error message that the API Task package is unavailable in a Task Bot, but the big question is how and why you got this message.  😅

Would you mind sharing a screen shot of your automation list? Did you create this automation or was it imported from a file?

Thanks!

Hi Aaron, I was just following the instructions of the course, I create a task bot, click on Co-Pilot, and paste the attached prompt.

Now, I’m not in my Computer, I will add the required imagen later.

Best,

@IYS The Automation Co-Pilot for Developers may have tried inserting an action from the API Task package into a Task Bot. If it does, that’s a mistake. 

I tried with your same prompt and got this:

​ ​@Aaron.Gleason, I've attached some images from the course video, for you to review the exact instructions on the video:

  • Create a Task bot (min 18:12): 

 

  • Open Co-Pilot:

 

  • Paste the Prompt:

Please let me know How I can get the same result.

@IYS Yeah, this is one of those situations that AI won’t give you the same results every time. You may have to modify its output occasionally. It was trained from millions of automations but AI naturally goes its own way. There is no way I can guarantee you’ll get the same result as the video. Sorry.
