Transferring data between applications

Help

Hi All,

I saw this demo on youtube : Data Migration Example with UiPath - YouTube

but i can’t find any tutorials or pointers on how this is done exactly. I guess it’s identifying a field name (in application a), copying data from that field into a variable, identifying the corresponding field name in application b, and pasting it? But I can’t see a tutorial. Any advice appreciated!

Hi there @Slarsons,
Welcome to the UiPath forums!

You are absolutely spot on :slight_smile:
In this example, they are likely:

  • Using the Get Text Activity to extract data from the application on the left using a defined selector (a series of attributes that indicate a particular element).
  • Then, they are using another selector to identify the relevant field on the right, and using the Type Into Activity to write the value in.
  • Finally, they are using the Click Activity to press Submit with another appropriate selector.

Alongside all of the above, they are using a few loops to control the flow, but otherwise, it should be that easy!

If you are just starting out on your RPA journey, I would recommend you head over to the UiPath Academy and take a look at the RPA Developer Learning Plan - It’s all 100% free :smiley:

Just following on from the above - I wonder if anyone might please be able to advise:

I’d like to store all interactions between these systems for audit purposes, preferably in notepad. I’d also like to use notepad as the ‘bridge’ between these 2 systems (again for audit / compliance purposes) so as opposed to using ‘Get Text Activity / Type Into Activity’, is there a way of inserting data from one system into notepad, then moving that particular item of data from notepad into the other system, whilst keeping one big audit trail in a single notepad document (although this would be one audit trail per session)?

Any advice appreciated!

Hello guys! This post is it what i been looking for.

I need to transfer some date from Power Bi to PPT. I did a workflow with all the steps that you mentined JDavey. I really stuck at this point. Dont know why is not working.

Use App - Power Bi → Get text > Save to “xx”
Use App - PPT > Type into > Type this “xx”

Any idea?
