Run manually

A manual execution is launching a process by hand, on the fly, from the portal. It is the most direct way to run an automation and the one you use to test that everything was correctly configured before programming it with a trigger.

  • A process created and in state active.
  • At least one agent online in the environment. See Agent Monitoring.
  • A robot session configured in the environment (the Windows account the bot will run under).
  1. Enter the environment and open the Executions tab.
  2. Click New Run.
  3. Select the process you want to run.
  4. Select the agent that will execute it.
  5. Select the robot session it will run with. See Robot sessions.
  6. Confirma.

You can also launch the execution directly from the process list, with the process execution button. It is an equivalent shortcut that avoids selecting the process again.

The execution goes through its lifecycle:

  1. It enters state queued (queued), waiting for the agent you chose to receive it.
  2. When that agent receives it, he goes to running and starts working.
  3. When finished, it is completed (success) or failed (error).

From the same screen you see progress and logs in real time, without refreshing. See Execution Logs.
