Get started building automations

Use the following three examples to become familiar with building automations using the Bot editor. These examples demonstrate using actions and the Universal Recorder to automate tasks in applications and browsers.

Build a Go be Great bot
Build a basic bot using a Message Box action and a variable. Follow these steps to create your first bot that prints the message, Go be great!, the Automation Anywhere version of Hello World!
Build a basic bot that uses a desktop application
Build a bot that uses a conditional statement to verify that the calculator is open, then uses the calculator to multiply two numbers. This example uses actions from the Application, If, Simulate keystrokes, Message Box, and Window packages.
Example of extracting data from a web table
Build a bot to open a browser window to the Wikipedia website, extract the data from a table, and write it to a CSV file on your desktop. This example uses actions from the Browser, Data Table, Recorder, and Window packages.
