A project is a container that holds automation workflows and resources.
Click New Project.
Select Process as project type.
Give your project a name such as FirstAutomation.
Choose a storage location.
Click Create.
Your project is now ready for automation design.
UiPath automation is built using workflows. A workflow is a sequence of steps executed by the bot.
Common workflow types include:
Best for simple, step-by-step automation.
Used for decision-based automation.
Used for complex and event-driven automation.
For beginners, Sequence is the easiest workflow type.
Let us create a simple automation that opens Notepad and writes a message automatically.
Open your project and ensure Main workflow is open.
In the Activities panel, search for Sequence and drag it to the Designer.
Search for Start Process activity and drag it inside the Sequence.
In Properties, set FileName to open Notepad application.
Add a Type Into activity below Start Process.
Indicate the Notepad text area.
Enter a message such as Automation is working successfully.
This simple workflow opens Notepad and types a message automatically.
To execute your bot:
Click Run in UiPath Studio.
The bot launches Notepad automatically.
It types the message into Notepad.
Congratulations. You have successfully created and executed your first automation bot.
To grow in automation, you must understand core concepts.
Prebuilt automation actions used to build workflows.
Used to identify UI elements for automation.
Store data during workflow execution.
Used to pass data between workflows.
Used for conditions and loops.
These concepts form the foundation of UiPath automation.
Automation becomes powerful when logic is added.
You can add:
Conditions to make decisions
Loops to repeat tasks
Data extraction from files
Automation across multiple applications
As you practice, your bots will become more intelligent and useful.
UiPath automatically saves your project, but you should regularly save manually.
You can:
