Summary

There has been a lot covered in this chapter, giving you the skills needed to understand and design modular bots. Taking this approach will be a stepping stone to having your own library of smaller sub-bots. This saves you from a lot of redevelopment effort, especially when automating larger and complete processes. You have learned how to run a sub-bot from within a bot, as well as how to pass parameters between these bots. The real-life scenario walk-through provided practical experience of how this actually works in the real world.

In the next chapter, we will be looking beyond Automation Anywhere. You will learn how to use external scripts, including VBScript and Python scripts, to enhance the functionality of your bots. You will also discover how to pass parameters between your scripts and your bot, opening up even more automation possibilities.
