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 Notation (BPMN) to model the control flow of your bots.

You can leverage your organization's workflow files in BPMN or create BPMN files using IBM RPA Studio's workflow builder. For more information, see Workflow builder.

When integrating workflow files to your bot, you only need to develop the logic of the workflow tasks in your bot. See Workflow integration commands reference for details on integrating a workflow into your script.

Bots integrated with workflows process workflow instances. For more information on instances and batches of instances, see Workflow instances.

You can persist execution data locally, in the server, or both places when you use workflows. You can also see these data in real-time using dashboards in IBM RPA Control Center. For more information on data persistence with workflows, see Working with storage adapters in your workflow.
