How does State Machine work? when it should be used and what are the benefits.
Please share if you have a working experience with using State Machine in Uipath. If you have a artifact which you can share as example, that will be good.

hi @vizblue_in,

It is has lot of options to be worked with.

1. You can switch between multiple states in multiple times.
2. Loop through itself.
3. Can pass to other state after validating the condition given.
4. You can use n number of final states.

refer this link for further info.State_Machine. Please find attached a basic flow.

HI @vizblue_in

State machine workflows provide a modeling style with which you can model your workflow in an event-driven manner. A StateMachine activity contains the states and transitions that make up the logic of the state machine, and can be used anywhere an activity can be used. There are several classes in the state machine runtime:

• StateMachine
• State
• Transition

Please go through with following links for better understanding:
