Milestone 1 - Build your first Automation

[loginerror (Maciej Kuźmicz)]

One important step in rebooting your skills is engaging with your peers who follow along the same journey. You’ve built your first robot today!

What 3 automation examples can you think of that would impact you the most - either for learning impact - or just save you doing a lot of work! Time for a collective brainstorm.
Example:

1. Sending an automatic email to a group when someone contributes a new forum post.
2. Emailing a supervisor a report that was downloaded and processed.
3. Cleaning up your local folders.

For any technical question or to provide ‌feedback, please create a new topic in our Reboot Your Skill category here.

Really loving UiPath beginner journey thus far. My use-case examples include:

1. Automating - running social media comments/posts text through sentiment analysis engine. Stratifying negative sentiment comments/posts & highlighting those as priority for urgent investigation and resolution,

2. Consolidating of KPI data residing in disparate legacy systems into modern reporting BI tool,

3. Posting of aggregated PDF reports from email to project/customer Whatsapp group.

The ability to retrieve data from and populate excel spreadsheets and to automate pivot table steps will be brilliant for the completion of routine audits. For initiating contact and providing instructions to on boarding new hires.

I look forward to using the excel, and browser interaction tasks.

Great start! I’m trying to look at day-to-day processes with the “automation lens” but it is difficult! For example:

• Send automatic messages via web whatsapp.
• Read a file data base and automatically contact the owners when a file needs to be updated.
• Automatically assign tasks based on availability.

[pranam.gangadhar]

Some of my business related examples are:

• Auto-fill multi-page Web forms;
  

• Generate Pivot Summary for Excel Source Data by Country and share Summary in Email
  

• Send custom Reminder Emails to Team members on a weekly/periodic basis for specific Action Items.
