Automation 360 v.42 Community Edition Release Notes - Review what's new and changed in the Community Edition of the Automation 360 v.42 ( Build 53728 ) release. Build 53728 replaces Build 53530.

When you prompt for a process with Co-Pilot for Automators, the system now automatically creates and links a placeholder automation for any node that is missing. The new automation is named uniquely based on the task, and its input and output variables are pre-mapped to match the process.

Co-Pilot for Automators now generates Python scripts for API Task using only libraries supported by the Cloud execution environment. The Python package does not bundle its own runtime. Instead, scripts execute on Automation Anywhere managed Cloud Service containers, which provide the runtime and a curated set of pre-installed libraries. Generated code references only these validated libraries. This prevents unsupported or arbitrary imports and ensures scripts run reliably.

Co-Pilot for Automators can now leverage event triggers when creating a process in Process Composer. Event triggers were introduced in Process Composer with the .40 release. Previously, Co-Pilot for Automators did not incorporate these triggers during process generation. Now, generated processes can start automatically based on a selected trigger event, aligning process creation with the triggers already available in Process Composer.

Co-Pilot for Automators recognizes phrases that imply parallelism, such as at the same time or simultaneously, and generates the corresponding parallel branches. If the intent is ambiguous, Co-Pilot asks for confirmation before committing. Every parallel branch includes a defined join point where the workflow synchronizes before continuing.

Co-Pilot for Automators now supports the UI Agents package for browser-based automation. Using a slash command, users can describe a browser task in natural language, and Co-Pilot generates a three-action workflow: Start Session, Run, and End Session. The Run action is pre-filled with the starting URL, goal, and output file path. This is restricted to task automation.

After updating to this release, the information of a device in the Last modified column in Manage > Devices is now updated to System if the associated user account was deleted or disabled, system-driven events such as starting or stopping the Bot Agent service, device updates, device disconnects, or reconciliation operations occur.

When you use the Orient image action in the IQ Bot Pre-processor package, you now have the option to automatically correct the image orientation using the Auto option in the Rotate setting. When you select this option, the Angle field is hidden because the model calculates rotation automatically. This option corrects orientation only at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.
