Sequencing the workflow
UiPath provides four types of projects:
- Sequences
- Flowcharts
- User Events
- State Machines
These are used to design a project on the basis of type and convenience. These four types of projects are useful in dealing with different kinds of processes. A Flowchart and Sequence are mainly used for simple automation. User Events are beneficial for implementing front office robots, while State Machines are used for dealing with complex business processes.

A Sequence is a group of logical steps. Each step represents an action or a piece of work. A Sequence is used for processes that happen in linear succession, that is, one after the other. Among the three types of projects in UiPath, Sequences are the smallest. An illustration of how to build a Sequence in UiPath Studio is presented in the following section.
In the following example, we will make a simple project that asks for the name of the user and then displays his or her response:
- Open UiPath Studio and click...
