Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

If I create a project and inside it,

I create a bot that has an input because I want to pass it from the control room, when it is run manually or on demand, it asks me to enter the input parameter, which is fine and makes sense.

 

However, if I want to schedule it to run every day, there is no way to configure that input parameter.its gonna throw an error because input is mandatory...

Which, in my opinion, doesn't make sense; it should allow me to configure it.

Hey Felipe,

I completely get where you're coming from, and I'm with you on this. One potential workaround might be to use a helper bot scheduled to provide the necessary input to your consolidador bot. But you nailed it - it feels more like a temporary fix than a genuine solution. The scheduler really should come with this feature for simplicity.

By the way, have you thought about suggesting this on the ideas.ibm.com site? They might take it into consideration for future updates. I promise you at least 1 upvote.

Thanks, Martin,

Honestly, I didn't know that one could suggest ideas, so I really appreciate your suggestion. I've already created it on the site. I sincerely hope they consider it.
