Hi everyone,
I have a doubt in Orchestrator. My question is
I have a excel sheet in that i will be having bot scheduling timing from 1st to 30th day. I need to schedule my bot based that timings.
Ex: 01/07/2022 — 1:00 PM
02/07/2022 — 5:50 PM
03/07/2022 — 4:30 AM
bot need to read date and Time if it matches today date it need to schedule on given time.
Can anyone tell me how we can do this.

Hi @Rounak_Kumar1 i want this to be automated. Bot need to read date and time from excel and it should run on that specified time.
Hello @Rana_Reddy
As per my understanding there are no such functionalities availabke to read the excel and to dynamically schedule the job based on the value in the excel.
Can you explain why you are tryi g yo dynamically allocate the schedule for eqch day??
Hi @Rahul_Unnikrishnan as of now i’m not using this in any of my processes but my manager asked me to check on this, that we can schedule bot randomly or not by using excel as input.
Dear @Rana_Reddy,
The thing you are trying is not be done by standalong RPA process.
You have to make use of shell scripting.
Flow:
1. Create a bash script which will reach the excel row by row & compare current time with the row of excel file.
2. Schedule a task manager which will get triggered at every minute which in turn triggers bash script execution.
3. If my current time is equl to excel cell time, then I can tirgger the robot.
Triggering robot via task manager:
Kindly mark as solution if it solves your issue
