Calling Tasks from Programs or Scripts
You can call Automation Anywhere tasks from other programs, scripts, or batch files. By default, Automation Anywhere saves all tasks in the folder named: My Documents\Automation Anywhere Files\Automation Anywhere

Call the task named download-emails.atmx from a batch file by adding the following line in the batch file:

"/fD:\My Documents\Automation Anywhere Files\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks\download-emails.atmx/e"
Calling a Task from an Excel Macro
