How to Execute RPA Process Using Robotic Process Automation Action?

Important features of how RPA works are as follows:

1. Rule-Based Structure: RPA only performs tasks based on specific rules and processes. For example, it is ideal for repetitive and systematic tasks such as following a certain format for data entry, sending an email when a certain condition occurs, etc.
2. Working with User Interface: Instead of integrating with other software applications, RPA often emulates a user's screen interactions. That is, it can access an application and perform operations with mouse and keyboard commands like a human.
3. Speed and Efficiency: Software robots can work 24/7, which contributes to accelerating business processes and increasing operational efficiency.
4. Flexible and Scalable: RPA can easily adapt to different business processes and scale as needed. Companies can expand or downsize their RPA systems according to the number of tasks and robot needs.

You can follow these steps to install the UI.Vision RPA plugin:

1. Install the UI.Vision RPA Plugin: Add the UI.Vision RPA plugin to your browser. This plugin allows you to record and replay browser-based automation tasks.

2. Open the Website to Automate on: Open the website you want to automate on. For example, open Google Forms.

3. Create a New Macro in the Plugin:
   • Open the UI.Vision RPA plugin.
   • Create a new macro by pressing the +Macro button in the upper left corner.
   • Give the macro a meaningful name (for example, “FormsUserGuide”).
4. Recording:
   • Press the Record button in the upper right corner.
   • Then, return to the website and perform the automatic actions. For example, if you are filling out a form, fill in the form fields or perform the necessary clicks.
5. Stop Recording:
   • After completing the actions, go back to the UI.Vision plugin and stop recording by pressing the Stop Record button. At this stage, the plugin will keep a record of your actions.

1. After logging into the Kuika platform, open the project you will work on from the “Apps” screen.
2. Go to the “Data Sources” (1) module. In the Data Sources module, you can view the data sources, actions and tables in the application you have developed, add a new data source, a new action and a new table.

3. To add a new data source to your application, click the “+” (2) icon next to the “Sources” heading on the left side of the Data Sources module.

4. Select “C#” (1) as the Data Sources data source type, enter a name (2) and select the method to use.
5. Then click on the “CREATE” (3) button. Here you can add a C# datasource and manage data operations and automation commands from it. It allows you to define C# functions that will be used to run and manage the macro made with UI.Vision.

1. View Macro Recording in JSON Format:

• Click the Source View JSON button in the UI.Vision plugin. You will see an output of your recording in JSON format.
• Take this JSON data and convert the JSON format to string with the JSON.stringify() command.

2. Include Stringified JSON Data in C# Function:

Inside the C# function you created in your Kuika project, assign the stringified JSON data to a variable. For example:

string macroData = “stringified JSON data will go here”;

• You can organize this data according to your needs and manipulate the operations within it.

3. Define a C# Function as an Action in your Project:

• Add the C# function you wrote as an onclick action of a button. Thus, this function will run when the button is clicked.

4. Run UI.Vision Macro in Your Project:

• Call the Run UI Vision Macro function at the end of your function and bind the Action Result of your C# function to the Stringified Macro parameter. This will trigger the macro inside the UI.Vision plugin.

Once you have completed these steps, you can trigger your UI.Vision macro and perform your automated actions by clicking a button from your Kuika project. This structure offers a powerful automation possibility, especially for easily managing repetitive browser operations.
