I would like to know if UiPath Business Automation Platform can do what Microsoft Power Automate Flows does. It is not important to me that every task has a duplicate for each platform. I am only interested in a few specific tasks.
Can a process be kick started by the UiPath Business Automation Platform once an email is received whose subject line is something it is is looking for?
Can UiPath Business Automation Platform then open an attachment to this email and parse the lines of the file and then compare this data to the contends of the List?
For your two processes there is possibility to do it in UiPath Business Automation Platform.
→ we can trigger the process when the mail is received with a specified subject by using Integration services. This was called Event Triggers.
→ The second process can be automated by using the mail activities.
To know how to trigger the process when the email is received, check the below video for better understanding,
I have a follow up question. After UiPath is launched after the email trigger, I would like it to do further processing which is important to the project. The email will have a CSV file attachment. CSV has been a popular way for people to send, process, and receive data. I will want this data to be compared to a List presented online.
It is probably unfortunate to UiPath that this is a SharePoint List and SharePoint is a Microsoft product. But I would still be interested to read your response to all this.
Yes we can do this in UiPath, create a project and use the csv or excel activities to work on csv files and mail activities for mails and microsoftoffice365 activities for the sharepoint access.
Build the automation in a project and publish this project to orchestrator, I have said the event trigger right when you are creating event trigger one process file has to be select, select the published process file to run.
I hate to be redundant but if I am going to invest the time in a trial membership I have to be 100% sure. Can your software interact with Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft List?
