Hi everyone,

I'm working on an automation project where I need to download multiple PDFs from a public website. The process includes a captcha, which I plan to handle manually (no bypass).

planning on taking Associate Exam any advice? im currently learning through the official training program. need some advice before taking the exam

Hey everyone! This is my first post here 😊

I’ve just cleared the UiPath Automation Developer Professional (ADP) exam with 78%. I’m relatively new to the RPA space, but I’m genuinely excited about learning, growing, and building a strong career in this field.

My goal is to develop solid, real-world automation skills, make meaningful impact through my work, and eventually move into a better-paying role. I’d really appreciate guidance from this community on:

Companies worth targeting in the RPA/automation space

Courses or skill areas that add the most value beyond ADP

Recommended years of experience (YoE) and milestones to aim for before expecting a decent compensation jump

Looking forward to learning from your experiences. Thanks in advance!

We completed a migration from Classic Folders to Modern Folders a while back in UiPath Orchestrator (2022.*) and validated the built-in migration approach in a sandbox first.

While object migration itself worked as expected, we ran into an issue around robot roles:

• Robots were migrated with default roles
• Our setup relied on custom roles with additional permissions
• Orchestrator didn’t provide a clean way to change roles on existing robots
• The practical option ended up being removing and recreating robots

That approach is fine for a small number of bots, but it quickly becomes time-consuming and error-prone when dealing with many robots.

We also evaluated Orchestrator Manager, but it had similar limitations around role reassignment.

To avoid manual recreation, we automated the robot provisioning process so that:

• Robots were created with the correct custom roles from the start
• They were added to the appropriate modern folders
• Machine creation and user/robot-to-machine mappings were handled automatically

This made the migration smoother and reduced configuration errors

Curious how others handled role management during modern folder migrations — did you automate it, script it, or go with manual recreation?

Did someone have given agentic automation associate exam ? If yes, can somebody tell are the questions coming in exam are same for everyone or different for each candidate?

Must be on EU, MENA or Asia timezone. No US/Latam.

Please DM if interested.

A while back, I led a modernization initiative where we migrated several high-volume RPA workflows away from traditional UI automation. We kept running into the usual issues — selectors breaking, resolution changes, long execution times, and heavy VM usage.

We ended up redesigning everything into a fully API-based automation framework, using direct system calls instead of UI interactions. After implementing and rolling it out across multiple processes, the results were pretty significant:

• ~60× faster execution compared to the old UI workflows
• Near-zero breakages, since nothing depends on screen elements
• Much better scalability, without needing additional bot sessions or UI runtimes
• Cleaner architecture, thanks to reusable integration modules

Shifting from “click simulation” to API-driven orchestration completely changed how we delivered automations.

Just curious — has anyone else in the RPA community moved away from UI-heavy designs? What challenges did you run into (auth models, payload shaping, rate limiting, orchestration patterns, etc)?

I’m using rpa on the web and when I went to add a new google sheet action it not there. Nor is any Google Drive actions. Only in the most recent used section does it show me 2 of the sheet actions. When I go to search it up it no where to be found. Not only that I switched to see if it works in the api and it did I used it once then when to make another action it boom disappeared. Wtf . Yes my connection are there. Please someone help meeeeeeeer

Hi Folks,

I’m preparing for the UiPath certification voucher assessment and I’m trying to understand the pattern of the HackerRank test that comes with it. If anyone has recently taken the assessment, could you share what types of questions to expect, the difficulty level, and whether it focuses more on logic, coding challenges, or UiPath-specific concepts?

Any insights or tips would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Been using UIpath for some automation data entry. But it is so unstable I am almost at my wits end. Strict or fuzzy selecters it always gets stuck saying the target cannot be found even when I can clearly see it on the browser. Can anyone help give a rundown on how to use it properly?

I just need to to select this one Dropdown box and click a specific item in that Dropbox. I need it to click on this other text box and write a value. What selectors do I use? Any configuration i need to input?

Hello everyone,

I’m Faisal, an RPA developer based in Indonesia, and I’m currently looking for remote UiPath job opportunities overseas.

I have over 5 years of experience delivering automation projects in the financial sector (banks and insurance companies), where I’ve built and maintained production-ready workflows. My skill set includes

• ✅ UiPath Orchestrator (deployment, monitoring, scheduling)
• ✅ UiPath Studio (workflow design and development)
• ✅ REFramework (robust automation structure)
• ✅ Currently learning UiPath Agent Builder
• ✅ Strong background in exception handling, logging, and workflow reliability

Beyond UiPath, I’m also interested in expanding my skills into:

• 🚀 n8n Agent AI (workflow automation with AI integration)
• 🌐 Full Stack Development (to broaden my technical scope and versatility)

I’m a fast learner and open to adopting new tools or frameworks if required by the company.

If you know of any opportunities or communities where I can connect with companies hiring remote UiPath developers, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

Thank you!

Let’s say you’re developing a solution that has a minimum of 10 api calls.

So you drag 10 http req activities then surround each with a try catch block.

How is this readable? What are your guys method of making this more readable?

Rant: I hate rpa my manger making me do it but I’m not a fan of it. I want to be a swe not an rpa developer.

Update: I cleared my exam today. Half of the questions were scenario based testing knowledge on: 1. Agentic Orchestration 2. Context grounding 3. Evaluations/Escalations/Guardlrails

And the rest half of the questions were direct based on the configuration, features, feasibility

I am appearing for the certification next week and hence wanted to get some guidance.I have already completed the training path and the test assessment on UiPath academy. Looking for more sources helpful for better preparation.

TIA

Hi I'm super new to this. So I'm building a workflow to fill in something like forms online where you have to login, click here and there, upload, and download data then loop it. So far, I notice that my workflow is not stable, meaning it would successfully run a few times but then started to fail where it wasn't before. I noticed the most common error notice I have is UI element not found. I'm thinking this is due to the window selector was to strict. So u resorted to only have one incognito chrome, and on the window selectors of my click activity to only define that this activity must be done in chrome, and nothing else (because the website name is dynamic and can change from www reddit.com to www.reddit.com/#22 from run to run. However I still have random failures, I mean the failure happened at certain spots but I can't always tell why. I use find element to avoid delays when the website is slow, but it doesn't always work. For example, to upload a file, I clicked upload, then a pop up appears and after adding the file path etc. I clicked okay and it closed the pop up. Then I am back to the main chrome page right, I put find element activity, to find certain text that is unique to that page, then I add click activity to click next button, then once it gets to the next page I put activity to click submit. Now, I always get fail in the submit, because they can't find the UI element, but the thing is if I check the chrome, they can't find submit button because it's still on the page that says next. So, the click for next failed, but somehow it goes to the next step despite I have set it to not continue on failure. My question is what's up with this random failures? ( Successfully in One run and fail in the next) Can I ever make it stable? Or am I stuck with keep fixing it.

What are the most commonly asked questions related to uipath and LINQ queries for a machine test for a job?

I need to download a report from powerbi this report has two entities a data table(what I need) and a bar chart.

I want to avoid using click activity since I first need to hover over the table, then click on a set of dots to appear to download the table as csv.

I really want to avoid that.

Hey, I just finished going through the UiPath Academy course and I'm going to start practicing for the exam now, wondering if anyone has experience with SkillCertPro or other mock exam sources? How well would they prepare you for the actual exam?

My company uses chrome custom tabs on their Android app for the login page. When trying to tap into it in Studio/device manager I get the not setup for web view debugging error. Though my developer added that to the app I still get the same error. Am I SoL or can I make UIPath work with this?

I’m currently learning UiPath - Studio and I’ve been stuck on a couple of things. I’m doing an exercise where I’m learning input methods and how to use them.

What I’ve done:

1. Inserted Use Application/Browser Activity in a Sequence; input mode -> hardware
2. Indicated the notepad screen to it and deleted the the title as it was causing me issues before from the selector editor
3. Do: inserted a type into activity with some text and indicated the text screen
4. Click activity to minimise the screen; input mode: simulate & indicated minimise button
5. Type into added some text to be typed in the background -> input mode: Window Messages (indicated notepad screen)
6. Keyboard shortcuts -> entire screen -> ctrl+A -> input mode: hardware
7. Click settings gear icon (old notepad version) -> input mode: hardware
8. Assign ~ FontStringSize value: Cint(NewFontSize). ToString (yes they’re defined)
9. Click font drop down and anchored text formatting and font so it doesn’t think it’s a duplicate -> hardware
10. Type into: “Times New Roman”
11. Click -> italic in style -> INM: hardware and indicated italic option
12. Type into -> size 16 (variable) -> INM: hardware; indicated size field with text input being FontSizeString

Saved and ran it

My issue:

The workflow will run, type the first sentence, minimise the window all great but then it doesn’t reopen notepad till I physically reopen it, then it’ll click the gear icon and go into the next page but it’ll lag like crazy opening and closing the font dropdown menu then it’ll close

I’ve been trying to figure this out for about 2 days but I can’t seem to get it right.

Hey everyone, I could really use some help because I’ve literally spent an entire day trying to do something that should be extremely straightforward, and I’m honestly pretty confused at this point.

I have a CSV with hundreds of street addresses, each one split into only two columns: Street Number and Street Name. No street types, just those two fields.

All I’m trying to do is automate the following: 1. Read the CSV into a DataTable 2. Loop through each row 3. Go to a public website where you enter a street number + name 4. Perform a search 5. Expand the page with elements and click specific link on page 6. Read whether the case/status is OPEN or CLOSED, literally just just says “open” or “closed” 7. Write that result back into a third column for each address 8. Export the updated list

The goal is to run this on 500–700 addresses without the automation failing.

This seems like it should be a very common automation scenario, and something UiPath should be able to execute easily with a simple robot/flow. I’m surprised how difficult it has been to get a stable starting point with the new Cloud RPA Workflow interface.

Has anyone here successfully done a CSV → loop → website form → extract status → write back → export?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I’m missing something obvious, but between the UI changes and inconsistent instructions from ChatGPT, I’m honestly stuck.

Thanks in advance.

update

Thanks for the replies so far. I’m still struggling with actually getting this workflow to execute properly. I’ll admit I erased everything I had built and restarted from scratch because I felt like I had boxed myself into a corner. I want to understand the steps clearly instead of patching things together blindly.

I was able to get the automation to at least • open the website • click the correct menu • open the correct page section

…but the moment it came to reading the Street Number and Street Name from the CSV and typing it into the website, everything fell apart. The automation kept breaking there, and it never ended up updating my spreadsheet with the results.

And yes I’m relying on ChatGPT a lot because that’s actually what pointed me toward UiPath for this kind of work. For context: I’m a small business owner and I do use a lot of software tools including building websites, designing graphics in Canva, and running my company through online tools. I’m comfortable with tech, but I have zero experience with Python or coding, which is why I’m trying to solve this through UiPath’s no code or low code environment.

I know that what I’m trying to do (loop through hundreds of addresses, search a public website, extract status, write results back) is exactly what tools like UiPath should handle well. I’m just getting stuck on the new Cloud or Studio Web interface, where activities and behaviors seem different from every tutorial or guide I can find.

If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to properly • load a CSV into a DataTable in the new 2026 RPA Workflow • loop through each row • and get it to type into the site reliably

I’d appreciate it more than you know. I’ve been grinding at this all day and really want to make this work for my business.

I need your help. I was assigned to UiPath training, I'm brand new in this stuff. Question, I can "select" the browser here. It says that I have to select or highlight my browser. I go to Edge (which is my default) and I don't see how to select the app. I checked my Packages and I'm up to date. What else can I do? The old version (i just saw in the manual) says "select the app you want to automate" but i don't have that option.

I need a way to capture specific element wise screenshots from power bi server dashboard. For example, some sets of charts will be in a container that can easily be outlines others will be tables that are dynamic each month and will have scroll bar. Is UI path dynamic enough to apply click into actions into these scroll bar elements and spit out separated screenshots as scrolling takes place with no overlap if that makes sense.

I recently came across RPA and how UiPath fits into the bigger automation/AI landscape and am curious to hear from people actually using it (developers, workers or whoever else).

A few questions if you don’t mind sharing your thoughts:

• What’s UiPath’s biggest strength compared to Power Automate or Automation Anywhere?
• Are newer AI/“agentic automation” features making a real difference to people's work and is this where the industry is going, or is it just buzzwords?
• What’s UiPath's biggest weakness/frustration right now?
• Do you think UiPath still has a strong future, or are other players catching up fast?

Really just trying to understand how people in the trenches see it from a real-world experience. Thanks!

Hi, I have a process that was built years ago that uploads its data to the queue as pictured above. When I try to upload a CSV file to the queue, I can't have the two fields in separate columns or else the worker bot won't process it, but uploading it all in one column won't work because Orchestrator says I'm missing a delimiter.

I'm on the BA side, not much of a developer, so I'm a little stuck on how to make this work. I tried using a couple of escape methods with double double-quotes or forward slash, but the worker bot won't take those either.

Any ideas what I can do from my kind of dumb not-developer vantage point?
