Hello, 1. How do I retreive Data from a certain e-mail? 2. Want to login to a certain site, and go in to a certain link that contains a specific word amog multiple line of links, and then get the contents inside using RPA. Thank you.

I am learning Appian RPA and the documentation on the excelmap data provider is a little underwhelming. I am currently trying to get Appian RPA to just read the excel file but the only results for "Rows" is null. See below for screenshots of my configuration. I am able to get the other low code methods working just fine. The only problem is the excel file is in my support files, But RPA doesn't seem to recognize it as present and as a result outputs "Null" every execution. Ideally I would like to iterate over the rows and get the information per row, I put the count rows just as a test to see if it would work correctly but to no avail. Any help is appreciated!

According to docs: a!update() Function - Appian 21.4, this function should work with a list, map, dictionary, cdt or record.  I'm having difficulty with one particular case of a!update with a list of dictionary (version 21.4). I have the following snippet of code and am receiving the following error: This error message is unable to be duplicated with a simple index, meaning the error message is somewhat misleading to myself: Are there any known workarounds - or does this seem like a product issue?  I would rather not have to check if my data type is a list of dictionary prior to calling the a!update function.

Greetings everyone I'm designing a robotic processes using the new RPA Version, but noticed that there is no copy and paste of the nodes nor duplicating existing action groups in the new version. Most of the work I do requires duplicating the action due to the similarity. Does anyone know a way to duplicate actions?

Hi Experts, I have 2 filters, one is custom picker EMPID and another is checkbox to "Show current month data", below are the steps i am performing to filter the data: ->Uncheck the check box & then search for an EMPID which is not of current month so that EMPID result shows up ->Now check the "Show current month data" check box & so that the search result cleared off  ->Again search for the same EMPID number & no result found shows up in when its checked (Working as expected as its not current month EMPID,) ->Uncheck the "Show current month data" check box & then search again for same EMPID    No result found even after page refreshes with  "Show current month data" check box unchecked

This code for check the process variable "gap" Boolean is not working. My sample rule is: if( rule!APN_isBlank(ri!gap),if( like(ri!text,"*GAP*"), ri!gap=true(), ri!gap=false()), ri!gap) I need to check if the pv- gap (boolean) is null or empty, then I have to populate the gap as with checking on the like function Else I need to just display the gap (true/ false) as it is which is not null. Problem: Here when I give null/ empty value for "gap", then the true part is executed. It says simply false, even when the like function gives true value (text contains words "gap"). Please help me to execute this scenario. 

Hello! I wonder if it is possible to tell the Chrome browser to allow or block notifications while using it with RPA? In Selenium/Java  I would use something like this: ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications",2); /* or 1 depending if I want to block or allow notifications */ IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options); Best regards!
