Creating a schedule for Python RPA bots is a straightforward process that involves the following four steps:
Note: to run Bots by schedule you will need to assign the Unattended license to the Agent. See more:
The first step in creating a schedule for a bot is to select the project and the command that the bot will execute. This can be done by navigating to the "Scheduler commands" tab in Orchestrator and clicking on the "Add Scheduler Command" button.
From there, select the project and the action that you want to launch by schedule
Click “Next”
Once you have selected the project and action, the next step is to select the project version. In Orchestrator, you can choose to use the latest version or select a specific version of the project that you want to use.
Click “Next”
After selecting the project version, the next step is to choose the project configurations that you want to use and select the PC/VM where the bot should run. In the Available RDPs window click on a Machine where you want to run your bot, and it will move to “Selected rdps” window. Click “Next”
The final step in creating a schedule for a bot is to specify the execution schedule using a cron-like syntax. This syntax allows you to specify the exact date and time when the bot should execute, as well as any recurring intervals. Fill in all the fields starting from minutes to months, and hover on the “Question mark” icon to see the help. Click “Save”
