Automation Anywhere templates

We provide pre-built (built-in) templates for you to choose from depending on your business requirements. A pre-built template is a predesigned flow that helps you speed up automation development when used as a starting point in building new automations.

These pre-built templates simplify the process of creating automation and accelerate and scale the automation across your organization.

Import Automation Anywhere templates

As a registered user of Bot Store, you can log in to Bot Store from the Control Room and download templates to your Control Room repository.

Important: To import templates to the Control Room, ensure you add the following URLs to the allowed list.
  • Domain URL: https://aai-botstore-preapproved-bots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
  • Zip file URL: https://aai-botstore-preapproved-bots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/template/Export.<date time>.zip

    For example, https://aai-botstore-preapproved-bots.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/template/Export.20240213_150702.admin10.zip

Ensure the following before you import templates to the Control Room:
  • You must have valid Bot Store credentials to access Bot Store from the Control Room.
  • You must have the following permissions to import pre-built templates to your public workspace:
    • Add bots from Bot Store to My Bots
    • Create folders
    • Import bots
    • View packages
    • View Bot Store
    • View my bots
    • Access to Bots folder with View content and Check in permission.
Perform the following steps to import templates:
  1. Log in to the Control Room.
  2. Click the Bot Store tab.
  3. Log in using your Bot Store credentials.
  4. Click Add pre-built templates from Automation Anywhere in the Bot Store tab.

    The Import Automation Anywhere templates screen appears.

  5. Click Continue to download the templates to the public workspace of your Control Room.
    Note: If a pre-built template with the same name and path already exists in the public workspace, it will be skipped.
  6. Navigate to Public workspace > Bot Store .

    All the pre-built templates are displayed. Depending on the permissions, you can perform various operations on templates such as check-out, clone, view, and delete.

Recommendation: When you check out templates from the public workspace to the private workspace, we recommend not modifying the template. Instead, you can create a copy of the template to work on it.

Using the templates

When pre-built templates are imported from the Bot Store to the public workspace, the Professional or a Citizen developer can choose a template and quickly build automation without re-creating the automation from the start, thereby saving time.

When you choose Task bot from template option to build automation, you can view all available templates shipped by Automation Anywhere or custom templates in the template picker window.
