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!

Hello,  What method or selection can be used for the robot to click OK on this kind of java script alerts in the browser? The recorder does not work because it hides the pop-up. 

Good day I have a running robot (Windows) that opens a notepad (selects an already open window) and SHOULD copy the first row, but it is not working at all. I have a section that does the following: 1. Clears clipboard 2. Presses SHIFT + DOWN  (uses the press and release action, the modifier key SHIFT, and the extra key DOWN) 3. Presses CTRL + Character: C  (uses the press and release action, the modifier key CTRL, and the extra key Character: C) 4. Pastes the content of the clipboard into a variable The problem is... action #2 does not seem to be working at all!  It is evident that nothing is getting "selected" (should be "painted" in blue) when the robot is executing. I've also tried replacing action #2 for this set of actions: 2a. Press SHIFT (uses the press and HOLD key action with the modifier key SHIFT) 2b. Press END (uses the press and release key action with the key DOWN) 2c. Release SHIFT (uses the RELE

Greetings, I am a starter in Appian RPA and I got stuck in a small place where I am unable to interact with the browser component. The Problem is as follows: My primary objective is to open a website i.e https://zoom.us/signin using the " Open Browser method " under the browser module. Entering Username and password in that website using " Interact with element " method  under browser module Press the sign-in button --- where the problem occurred. In order to press the button, we need to know the name of the element and I am unable to find any name on the inspect page. To try with the tag name I have tried by giving the name of the div in which the button places but yet not working. The common issue that I am getting is "Unable to interact with the element because the component is currently hidden or disabled " I have also tried pressing enter shortcut but I got ERROR:401. SO I am kindly requesting you to help me out in this

Is there any way to automatically generate resources while running RPA processes. I am trying to achieve simultaneous execution of processes.

Hello, so after the update from RPA ver7.11 to 7.12 all of our robotic processes started presenting this issue. I've tried changing the resources, and also entering the jidoka repository, and this came up as well: Does anybody know what's going on? PD: Also noticed, when you create a new robotic process this warning pops up: You can CANCEL or CREATE, but the process is still created regardless of your choice. Thanks in advance for your time reading this!!

Hello all, I was able to successfully generate, clean, and package the maven project following the steps here "https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.3/rpa-7.2/setup/maven-setup.html#create-the-maven-project" However, when I try to import the maven project into IDE I get the following errors Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: com.novayre.jidoka:jidoka-maven-plugin:7.11.0:generate-resources (execution: generate-resources, phase: generate-resources)  Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: com.novayre.jidoka:jidoka-maven-plugin:7.11.0:process-classes (execution: process-classes, phase: process-classes)  what could be the problem? 

Hi all I currently am playing around with a community site to test out RPA capabilities, see if it works and provide proof of concept. I downloaded the configurator and I am trying to play with the robot source code to see if we can achieve certain functionalities.  I completed all the steps in the configurator except the last part where they ask for a Console Repository and maven api key.  I can get the api key, but I can't get an url for the repository.  How can I get the url for the console repository for a community site?  Thank you, Saeed

Hello,  I have a Execute Robotic Process inside a process per documentation it says for this node:  ------------------- Data tab Node inputs When an integration is selected, the integration's inputs will automatically appear as node inputs. If you change the selected integration or the inputs of the selected integration are updated outside the process modeler, the node inputs will be refreshed the next time you view the Data tab. ------------------- Problem which I am facing is that in the Robot I have 3 variables, they appears inside the Integration view but does not appears inside the pcoess Node in the Input Data Tab. Any idea why ?

Hi all, We are trying to run a process in unattended mode, however when we disconnect from the resource it appears as blocked from the Appian RPA Console. We've followed the instructions from: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.2/rpa-7.1/get_started/faqs.html, in particular we: Log into the resource computer using Windows Remote Desktop Connection, starting a session. Execute the Appian RPA agent with administrator privileges. When the resource is connected to the RPA server, verify in the console's resource detail page that it was initiated with the administrator privileges. Close the Remote Desktop Connection. At this point, we have a session initiated by Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and locked. The Appian RPA resource, while executing with administrator privileges, can unlock the session and run a robotic process. After it finishes, it will lock the session again. From the resource we can see that the option "Agent with elevated privileges" is checked ho

Hello, We are setting up Appian RPA and have created a robot virtual server and we are able to run our Appian RPA process from the server when we have it open. We are currently connecting to the server using a service account and Remote Desktop Protocol. When we connect to the server using a service account but then close down the connection(RDP) the account is still logged in which is what we want. However, when we try to run an Appian RPA process on the server the screen is locked. The same thing happens when we connect to the server using RDP and then minimize the window. It says the screen is locked or the robot can't see the desktop. The thing we noticed about this is that the status is Blocked when this happens. How can we set up the server to have an account logged in and then accept messages from Appian RPA and run a process without the screen being locked or minimized? Thanks, Anthony

Hello Guys, I installed both Java & Maven and then when I ran configurator  it's popping up with the message "This application requires Java runtime environment 1.8.0". Can anyone help me to configure Appian RPA on my linux machine. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I have a scenario where I need to take a screenshot of a webpage and save it into the robotic variable and trigger an Appian Process by giving the document as Input. Can you please guide me what are the possible methods ? P.S: I have tried upload document functionality and triggering the process with document ID as input. But the expectation from business is that BOT has to trigger the Appian Process by providing the document as input.  Please let me know if it is feasible and let me know the steps. thanks,
