Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users

What's new
Leverage local execution of Bot Tasks in Process Composer for Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users to retain sensitive financial or personal data within your On-Premises environment. As a Bot Creator, you can now select how bots within the processes you develop are executed; locally on the request creator's desktop or on a remote desktop. You can execute a Bot Task:
  • Remotely
  • Locally through a main window
  • Locally through a child window - With the ability to execute automations in child windows, users can work in parallel without disruption, while process orchestration is seamlessly handled within Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users.

Once the local Bot Task has been deployed, a progress bar displays showing the bot progress details and status in real time.

Add Bot Task to a process automation
Based on your permission, you can now view alerts and notifications from Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users through your desktop. To access the alerts, click the New notifications display with the (new-notification) icon.

Automation Co-Pilot Desktop Assistant automation activities
What's changed
For users who integrate and authenticate Microsoft Teams with Automation Co-Pilot, the following items have changed:
  • The URL end point used to integrate the Microsoft Teams App with Automation Co-Pilot has changed. The previous Microsoft Teams App end point was: /aari/#/embedded path; whereas the new Microsoft Teams App end point to use is: http(s)://CR_URL/copilot end point.
  • When users access the Microsoft Teams App, the Auto Log In dialog no longer pops up for authentication. Instead, a new Log in dialog displays asking you to click Log in to log in to your Automation Co-Pilot and to disable any pop-up blockers if any have been enabled.
When using the Dropdown Multi-Select element to add a dropdown menu in your form, if a Set Focus action is triggered from rules on any condition, then after executing that condition you must press the space bar to execute the Set Focus action on the Dropdown Multi-Select element.

Bot Insight

What's changed
Enhancement to the Bot Insight Delete API (Service Cloud case ID: 01939529)
The Delete Task log API now supports deleting specific transaction details in the Bot Insight database on a deployed bot. A new parameter transactionId is added in the Delete API, which allows you to delete any transaction within a runId using the API. This feature improves the accuracy and precision of data deletion and displays the accurate data on the Bot Insight dashboards.
Note: Bot Transaction Id is an optional field. If you provide the transactionId, then you must provide it with the runId.
