Pause Robot running

[James90 (james)]

Hi,
Can we pause our running robot. And start later when we want to?

with my attended robot I added a message box activity, so at every step where the message activity would run the bot will pause and not proceed till I click ok. Is this something that you are looking for?

Hi @James90,
I think we can achieve it by using Monitor Event.
You should decide how you would trigger the resume process (like when I press Win-Alt-R, robot should resume or so), then you monitor the key, when Win-Alt-R is pressed, you resume the process.

another way is that you need to launch UiPath Robot application on windows (you should find it easily with the Windows search).
Then an icon on the Windows System tray will appear with the UiPath logo.

In there you will see all the published processes appearing and you will be able to trigger them from there.
