Using workflows

Combine BPMN files with IBM RPA scripts in IBM Robotic Process Automation.

• Workflows in IBM Robotic Process Automation
  A workflow is a repeatable sequence of tasks organized into processes that transform resources, provide services, or process information. You can document workflows in different notations. In IBM Robotic Process Automation, you can leverage workflow files in Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) to model the control flow of your bots.

• Workflow instances
  To run a bot you integrated with a workflow, you need to trigger the bot to start. To run the bot, you need to supply the bot with a workflow instance.

• Workflows in your IBM RPA Control Center environment
  You can upload your workflows to your IBM RPA Control Center environment. Uploaded workflows are resources you can integrate with your scripts.

• Workflow integration commands reference
  You can manipulate workflow instances and integrate the process with IBM RPA Studio scripts.

• Working with storage adapters in your workflow
  When you integrate a workflow into your script, you can persist data into databases using storage adapters. You can persist data in a local database, your IBM RPA Control Center environment, or both places.

• Workflow builder
  Create or edit workflow files to integrate with your IBM RPA scripts using the workflow builder tool in IBM RPA Studio. The workflow builder is an authoring tool for building workflow files in Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN).

• Creating a workflow file and integrating it into a script
  You can create your own workflows in IBM RPA Studio and integrate them into scripts that implement the workflow process in IBM RPA Studio.
