Week 1: Build your first Robot

Learning & Development Programs Reboot Your Skills 2021

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 nice exercise to start off! :smiley:

I see great potential in non-value adding activities such as sending an email to the supplier confirming the order introduced in SAP, for example. Small changes that may generate a big impact, saving time and money to many companies.

Excited about what comes next!

Hi everyone! It was so cool building my first robot albeit with help, but that’s the learning process! I had a few ideas for real world automation that could be helpful.

1.) Cash flows for budgeting purposes.
2.) Stocks and the Dow.
3.) Subscriptions for products and services.

Thank you!
