    Hello Mohamed!

    Interesting question. Would you mind opening the use case behind this?

    But yes, at least technically. Attended bots are run using the Launcher application. I guess you would be able to develop an unattended bot that starts the Launcher and then triggers an attended bot via it. But not certain if that makes any sense.

    Hi Jukka,
    Usually the use case is a remote PC with limited access to a unique application and attended bot installed on it , Part of a process in another application  includes triggering that application in the remote pc , Usually the workaround to fire attended using unattended  is by sending email to outlook in that remote pc or by by putting a file in a shared folder that the attended bot is monitoring , Is folder monitoring is applicable in IBM RPA , If so what is the command ?
