Automation with UiPath Course

Lesson 1 • Installing and Configuring UiPath Studio

Guides students through system requirements, installation, and initial Studio setup. Ensures a working development environment before any hands-on exercises.

Lesson 2 • What Is Robotic Process Automation

Defines RPA, its core principles, and how it differs from traditional automation. Establishes the conceptual baseline for all subsequent UiPath work.

Lesson 3 • Creating Your First Automation Project

Walks through creating, running, and debugging a simple Hello World workflow. Validates the environment and introduces the project lifecycle.

Lesson 4 • UiPath Platform Overview

Surveys the full UiPath product suite including Studio, Orchestrator, and Robots. Connects each component's role to end-to-end automation delivery.

Lesson 1 • Control Flow Activities

Covers If, Switch, While, Do While, For Each, and Break activities. These constructs drive conditional and iterative logic in every automation.

Lesson 2 • Working with Collections and Arrays

Introduces List, Array, Dictionary, and Queue data structures within UiPath. Efficient collection handling is essential for processing bulk data.

Lesson 3 • Exception Handling Fundamentals

Explains Try Catch, Throw, and Rethrow activities for managing runtime errors. Robust error handling is required before building any production-grade workflow.

Lesson 4 • Understanding Workflow Types

Compares Sequence, Flowchart, and State Machine workflows and their appropriate use cases. Choosing the right type is foundational to clean automation design.

Lesson 1 • UI Interaction Activities

Covers Click, Type Into, Get Text, Send Hotkey, and Hover activities for UI control. These activities form the core toolkit for any UI-driven automation.

Lesson 2 • Synchronization and Wait Strategies

Addresses Element Exists, Wait for Ready, and On Element Appear activities for timing control. Proper synchronization prevents failures caused by slow-loading UIs.

Lesson 3 • Image and Text-Based Automation

Teaches image recognition and OCR-based interaction for applications without accessible selectors. Extends automation reach to legacy and non-standard interfaces.

Lesson 4 • Understanding and Editing Selectors

Explains XML-based selectors, their attributes, and how to edit them in the Selector Editor. Reliable selectors are the foundation of stable UI automation.

Lesson 1 • DataTable Manipulation

Teaches building, filtering, sorting, and merging DataTables using built-in activities. DataTables are the primary in-memory structure for tabular data in UiPath.

Lesson 2 • CSV and Text File Operations

Covers Read CSV, Write CSV, Read Text File, and Write Text File activities. Lightweight file I/O is essential for data exchange between systems.

Lesson 3 • String Manipulation and Regex

Applies VB.NET string methods and Matches activity for text parsing and transformation. String handling is critical for cleaning and reformatting extracted data.

Lesson 4 • Working with Excel Files

Uses the Excel Application Scope and workbook activities to read, write, and format spreadsheets. Excel automation is among the most common enterprise RPA use cases.

Lesson 1 • Handling Dynamic and Complex UIs

Addresses anchor-based selectors, relative selectors, and UI Frameworks for unstable interfaces. Mastering dynamic UI handling is essential for robust production bots.

Lesson 2 • Email Automation

Sends, reads, and filters emails using SMTP, IMAP, and Outlook activities. Email automation is a key integration point in approval and notification workflows.

Lesson 3 • Web Scraping and Data Extraction

Uses the Data Scraping wizard and Extract Structured Data to harvest web content. Structured extraction feeds downstream data processing workflows.

Lesson 4 • Desktop Application Automation

Automates Windows desktop apps using UiExplorer and application-specific selectors. Desktop automation covers ERP, CRM, and legacy line-of-business systems.

Lesson 1 • Assets and Credential Management

Stores and retrieves text, integer, Boolean, and credential assets securely in Orchestrator. Centralized asset management enables configuration changes without redeployment.

Lesson 2 • Scheduling and Triggering Jobs

Configures time-based and queue-based triggers to run jobs automatically. Scheduling ensures automations execute at the right time without manual intervention.

Lesson 3 • Publishing and Deploying Packages

Covers publishing NuGet packages from Studio and deploying them as Orchestrator processes. This is the standard release pipeline for all production automations.

Lesson 4 • Orchestrator Architecture and Setup

Explains Orchestrator's tenant structure, folders, and role-based access control. Understanding the architecture is prerequisite to deploying any production robot.

Lesson 1 • Robotic Enterprise Framework

Implements the REFramework template for scalable, queue-driven, production-ready automations. REFramework is the industry standard for enterprise UiPath deployments.

Lesson 2 • Code Quality and Maintainability

Enforces naming conventions, annotation practices, and workflow analyzer rules. High code quality reduces onboarding time and long-term maintenance costs.

Lesson 3 • Creating and Using Libraries

Builds custom activity libraries in Studio and publishes them for team-wide reuse. Libraries standardize common operations across multiple automation projects.

Lesson 4 • Logging and Monitoring Best Practices

Uses Log Message activity, log levels, and Orchestrator logs for observability. Structured logging is essential for diagnosing failures in production environments.

Lesson 1 • Document Understanding Framework

Applies the Document Understanding pipeline to classify, extract, and validate document data. Enables automation of invoice, contract, and form processing at scale.

Lesson 2 • API and Web Service Integration

Calls REST and SOAP APIs using HTTP Request and Web Services activities. API integration connects automations to modern SaaS platforms without UI dependency.

Lesson 3 • Process Mining and Task Capture

Uses UiPath Process Mining and Task Capture to discover and document automation candidates. Data-driven process discovery ensures automation targets deliver maximum ROI.

Lesson 4 • AI Center and ML Models

Deploys and consumes machine learning models via AI Center within UiPath workflows. Integrating ML predictions enables automations to handle variable, judgment-based tasks.
