Create a device pool for RPA Bots for Salesforce

Create a new device pool and map the custom role created for the connector setup as a consumer of this device pool. Bots launched by the connector can be deployed only on devices in this device pool if the device pool is selected in the Bot Configuration Wizard.

Prerequisiti

  • Ensure you have installed the latest Bot Agent and registered the devices (local, remote, or both) before you add the devices to the device pool.

    Prerequisites for RPA Bots for Salesforce

  • The Create device pools feature permission or the AAE_Pool Admin role must be assigned to you.

While you can execute bots directly on the selected Run As Users defined in your custom role, Device Pools allow you to group devices with common characteristics together. For example, all devices to be used by a specific department.

  • You can add only those Unattended Bot Runners that are not part of any other pool and are not associated with any role.
  • You cannot create a device pool comprising of Attended Bot Runner.
  • You can add Control Room user roles as consumers. Only users with these roles can use the pool for any automation.
  • By default, the creator of the pool is the device pool owner.
