Abstract
Trigger(s) administration, development, distribution, coordination, registration, or coding for a software automation process or robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. A trigger(s) may be configured to run or execute by an outside service or component for an automation process in relation to an application and associated event(s). A definition file(s) or configuration file(s) may be created or utilized for a trigger(s) for an event. A separate or outside service or component may be configured to listen for the event in the process. Once a trigger(s) is met, an action or activity may run for the automation process on a client device using the outside service or component.
Claims20
A computing device comprising:
- a processor and a memory configured to execute a trigger service, wherein the trigger service is separate from an automation process;
- the processor and the memory further configured to execute a definition file or a configuration file, each having rules, for the trigger service, wherein the trigger service is configured to listen, based on the definition file or the configuration file, for an event or an activity related to a trigger for the automation process;
- and
- the processor configured to instruct, on a condition that the trigger is met, a robot executor to perform the event or the activity for the automation process.
A method performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
- executing, by the computing device, a trigger service, wherein the trigger service is separate from an automation process;
- executing, by the computing device, a definition file or a configuration file, each having rules, for the trigger service;
- listening, by the trigger service based on the definition file or the configuration file, for an event or an activity related to a trigger for the automation process;
- and
- instructing, by the computing device on a condition that the trigger is met, a robot executor to perform the event or the activity for the automation process.

- the processor configured to instruct, on a condition that the trigger is met, a robot executor to perform the event or the activity for the automation process;
- and
- the process configured to receive an instruction from a queue, wherein the queue manages requests for the robot executor in relation to the automation process.
