In UiPath, there are two types of Robot that are used for automating any process. One is the back office Robot, which works in the background. It works independently, which means it does not require inputs from users or any user interaction. The other one is the Front Office Robot, which is also known as an Assistant Robot.
This chapter deals with front office bots. Here, we will learn the different ways in which events in the automation process can be triggered—by a simple press of a key, click of the mouse, and so on. To make things clearer, we will take examples of monitoring various events.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- What are assistant bots?
- Monitoring system event triggers
- Monitoring image and element triggers
- Launching assistant bots on a keyboard event
