We are planning to use three bots to update a queue for a single process. Each bot may update more than one transaction item. How to avoid bots updating same item?

I don’t think bots will ever try to retrieve the same queue items. It will pick it based on the availability of the transaction items one after another.

Check this,

> Hi Guys, I have 2 process called: Maintainer & Maintainer-Helper So can I create 2 Jobs to call both above processes to work on same the queue at the same time. Will be a confusion on between those 2 robots? If that can be done, do get transaction item activity is the right activity to use? Or is there any method to do so?
