I would like to implement RPA which store a list of data into Appian'DB.

I'm currently trying to implement RPA to get the title, URL, etc. of each news from the news list on the news site.
My RPA was able to get the information I wanted and store it in an array.
However, the information cannot be saved in Appian's DB in table format.

I would like to store the contents of the array that holds the acquired information in the pre-created CTD.

Since the Appian document states that it is not possible to directly store data from RPA to the DB,
I will implement RPA which creates a list of data saved by CDT etc. and returned this list to the process model.

If you have better idea, could you tell me about it?

  • Hi:

    You are right, it is not possible to store data in the Database directly from the RPA robotic process. 

    The best practice to implement this is the solution that you proposed:

    1- Get the data from the browser using RPA

    2. Create the CDT in the RPA robotic process

    3. Returns the CDT variables to the process model

    4. Use the "Write to Data Store" smart service to store the data into the Database

    I hope you find it helpful
