Question

Creating and configuring a Process Model using Appian RPA Bot

Hello,


We are trying to create an Appian RPA bot which creates and configures a process model in an appian application. We are able create one, but facing issues while configuring the process model. As the bot needs to drag the smart services from the palette and drop between start node and end node, we are unable to find the X co-ordinate and Y co-ordinate in the Drag RPA service. Also the bot is unable to identify the selectors such as XPath, CSS, or ID in the Interact with Element RPA Service.

So is there any alternate way to achieve this. Suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks In advance
Rohith

Instead of dragging the service, you can just right-click on the lines connecting, start typing the name if the service, and select from the search results. 

Maybe that can help!

So you can turn Appian + RPA into a touring-complete self replicating machine and .... what are you trying to do?

I think that is too much automation, when did designing objects became a repetitive task that it is being performed by a bot.

Hi Rohith! What's your use case? I haven't seen a scenario where you'd need to automate the creation/design of a process model, so am curious to understand what you're trying to achieve so we can evaluate if there are better alternatives for you.
