Overview of RPA w/ OpCon

RPA Configuration in VisualCron

This is a representation of the structure of all VisualCron objects to consider when planning a workflow.

RPA Job Flow

note

The flow is: Trigger > Condition > Task > Notification.

  1. One trigger (type time or event) fires a Job to run.
  2. A condition is a "check" which is evaluated before a Job or a Task is launched.
  3. A Job can include one or more Tasks of different types.
  4. When the Job and/or its Tasks are completed, one or more notifications (of different types) may be performed.
