Tutorial: How to Get Started with Camunda RPA (Robotic Process Automation)
Camunda Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is here to help embed RPA directly into your workflow, giving you full visibility and control over your process while minimizing the need for disparate tools. By integrating systems that lack APIs and decoupling business logic from integration logic, Camunda RPA makes it easy to connect legacy systems and bots into modern, end-to-end process orchestration. The result? Scalable, adaptable, and future-proof automation.
In this video tutorial, Senior Developer Advocate Niall Deehan will show you how to build and orchestrate RPA bots with Camunda 8. In this step-by-step guide, Niall uses an RPA bot to navigate a website that will generate a QR code and automatically send it back to the process.
