Trigger mappings

Use the Trigger mappings option to view, add, edit, and remove trigger mappings.

Triggers are part of the Attended Automation functionality in Robots. A robot with a trigger reacts to an event on a remote device. Mapping is only available for robots with triggers.

Before adding mappings:

  • Enable triggers in a robot.

  • Upload the robot to the Management Console.

After you enable triggers, upload robots, and create the mappings, the Management Console provides a list of triggers to the Desktop Automation Service, based on the mappings. When a trigger event is detected on a remote device, the Desktop Automation Service sends a notification to the Management Console, and the robot performs the programmed steps. For example, a robot trigger inserts or extracts data when an application is opened.

On each remote Desktop Automation Service where you want to deploy a robot with a trigger, you must add the trigger mapping. For example, if you want the same robot triggered on multiple remote devices, you must add the trigger mapping to each Desktop Automation Service.
