 What will you need? Any version of Kryon RPA with the REST API advanced command feature (v19.1 and above). You’ll also need a SMTP server to send outbound emails from Kryon Console, if one is not already available.  Here’s how you can get started:  1) Make sure you create a Pushover account before getting started.  After creating an account, you’ll be provided with a “user key”. In addition to the user key, you’ll also receive an “API Token/Key” that can be found at the bottom of your dashboard. By using both the “user key” and the API Token/Key”, you’ll be able to authenticate the Pushover API and send push notifications.  2) Download the Pushover app.  You’ll need a host app on your mobile device. You can do this by downloading the Pushover app from the App Store/Google Play and permit the app to send push notifications to your mobile device.  3) Send a test push notification.  

Following my previous post on Displaying a Process Flow Diagram in Nintex Form​ that I've shared how to include a JavaScript based Process Flow Diagram in Nintex Form. In this post, I am going to show how to include a "Timeline" diagram in Nintex Form using just pure CSS technique. As it uses just CSS, the Timeline will be viewable even in Nintex Mobile App. The outcome of this exercise, you will get to see the below form when form is being filled (i.e. New), and middle of the process timeline to show steps that were completed and yet to be completed. The "Timeline" is presented by simply a CSS formatted HTML list as shown in the HTML code below, which

 1) Design your wizards for optimal performance. This means avoiding static pause times. Instead, use variable waiting mechanisms, such as programmatic loops, the “Wait for object to appear” action for visual elements, or the “Wait for window to appear” action for windows.  2) Record you wizards for optimal performance. When you record your wizards, you can visually optimize them to improve robot performance. One way to do this is by optimizing the click area settings. This way, the object can be found within the smallest click area, rather than falling back to searching the entire screen.  3) Prepare for all eventualities with wizard error handling and fallback. Ensure that all possible outcomes of a given wizard are handled, so that the wizard can always end in a timely and clean manner, even if things go awry. Doing so can potentially get a robot back to work quicker, even if a wizard cannot perform successfully.  Download our comm

You’ll need to have MS Office and a PDF viewer tool set up to verify input and output. (Kryon Studio Access). Afterward, you can break the process down into two steps.  The first step: Using Powershell code. Powershell is already available on each Windows OS. This saves you time, as you don’t need to make any changes to get your results.  The second step: You’ll need to utilize the code in Kryon. There are a few pointers to keep in mind. Powershell uses the “$” sign to denote a variable. However, in Kryon, we use it to utilize declared $Variable_Names$. As a result, you’ll have to take care of this during your wizard creation process. This can be broken down into the few steps listed in our community guide (with screenshots) here: https://bit.ly/3vDeWYw 

What is the Form Recognizer service in Azure? It’s an AI-based service that enables the extraction of field data from structured and semi-structured documents for use in your wizards. (Ex: Invoice data or form data).  Once you’ve set up Form Recognizer, you’ll have everything you need to use the Form Recognizer with Kryon, including:  -An API key-An endpoint-A model ID With the above, you’ll be able to use the model to Analyze a Form (i.e. extract field data from a scanned document).  You’re now ready for your next step: analyzing a form using Kryon. You’ll need to use the cURL advanced command in Kryon Studio. (Keep in mind that Studio already prefixes the command with “curl”).  Things to keep in mind:  1) $fr endpoint$ is the endpoint you configured in the MS Azure portal2) $model id$ is the model ID which was created when you trained your model with the sample training documen

 What is one application that is used across all business units, departments, and industries? If you thought Excel, then you are correct! When it comes to automating business processes, wizards often interact with Excel. An automation can run in the background on its own (unattended) but sometimes it requires user inputs (attended). The juggling of these bots is enabled via hybrid automation. Join the Wizard of Wizards Marlon as he demonstrates working with Excel variables and hybrid automation, including:• How to leverage variables to increase efficiency• Boosting your automation with Excel variables• How the Kryon Assistant (attended) can launch an automation and then pass it to an unattended robot to complete The recorded session is

The Workflow History List is a particular type of list in SharePoint. In terms of structure and functionalities, it is a normal list in SharePoint, nothing special, but it has the following particularities:It's used only by the workflow engine to log all the activities of the running workflow instances. By default, the logs are only kept for 60 days to avoid problems with the number of items limit in the list and also for performance reasons Every site has, out of the box, a Workflow History List. It's a hidden list, so don't worry if you don't find it in under Site Contents. You can manually navigate to it via https://[YOURSITE]/lists/Workflow&20History Cannot be created manually in O365, you will not find it as a template in your site. If you've worked with SharePoint

The "Ten Commandments" of Kryon RPA Attended Automation (design/implementation): Always prompt/ask a user before "taking over"; never simply take (away) user control (unless specifically necessary/desired for the automation workflow)! Always take into account (and plan for) potentially different (windows-/colour-) themes, resolutions, languages, multi-monitor setups, etc. and choose & test automation mechanisms accordingly! Tweak attended automation workflows for maximum speed (and minimum user "waiting")! Always display a bubble to the user when the wizard works "behind the scenes" so the user knows that something is (still) happening and the workflow hasn't timed out! Tweak wizards for minimum intrusiveness (towards users)! I.e., if you can run it "in the background" (so the user can continue working), do so accordingly! If something goes wrong: Notify the user via bubble/message b

Successful automation stems from a full-cycle approach. It involves discovering and mapping processes and variants, creating and optimizing wizards, managing robots in production, and analyzing the impact on the organization. It’s a lot to handle, and we’re here to help by sharing the best practices for implementing full-cycle automation, from discovery to orchestration.  Join us on May 25th, and hear our Professional Services Team Leader, Ziv Ilan, break down the different stages of Kryon Full-Cycle Automation. He’ll also share:  1) Mapping and analyzing processes to understand their business impact 2) Creating a Process Design Document and supporting process documentation 3) Managing and optimizing automation tasks to gauge the automation impact Don’t miss out!

Nintex RPA enables companies to harness the power of their network of bots to orchestrate processing a large dataset file for faster results and turnaround time.  As an example, a file with 10,000 records and 20 columns can take up to 5-7 days to process using a single bot.  This can be reduced to 1 day using the Nintex RPA Central Orchestration through simultaneous utilization of multiple bots. In RPA Central v2.1, we have drastically improved the setup and configuration of this capability, to improve time to deploy for Admins.  In the new version of RPA Central, users would only set their file definition and variables in the botflow one time, then login to RPA Central and provide the file destination.  Once the botflow is running the file definition set at the time of botflow design are used to process the file.  Dataset within the new RPA Central can also now process a dynamic file, where the file can grow or shrink in size without any impact to the process.  A Botf
