Step-by-step examples using the recorder

In this section, we will illustrate two examples of using the UiPath recorder:

1.  Emptying the trash folder in Gmail
2.  Emptying Recycle Bin

The first one is to show a recording of a web-based application, and the second is Windows-based. These are very simple examples, and show how a simple task can be automated quickly.

We need to see all process flows, however small or big, as shown in the previous diagram. This makes developing RPA much easier and, organized.

First and foremost, we begin with a blank project in UiPath Studio and then choose...
