Task Automation Question

Post by Bryce »

Hi there,
I'm not a Robotask user (yet), but I'm looking for a
product that will help me out with a task.
Right now, I'm using MouseRobot, but seem to have some
difficulty with it in a particular task.
The task I have runs a database app. The issue is, when
the task executes, sometimes an error message pops up,
and sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it can take about
5 minutes to come up. There's also a chance that an
error message will pop up multiple times.
For our database, these are fine to ignore. They're just
informational messages about jobs being in use.

What I'd like to find is a program that will run through
the automation, and click continue if the errors pop up.
At the end of it all, when it's completed, it will click
"done" and close out the program.

MouseRobot works fine when there are no errors, but seems
to have issue when there are the error message screens.
I've tried adding in some conditions, but still can't
seem to tweak it right.

Is this something RoboTask can do with relative ease?
We're a small IT shop, so we don't really have a lot of
time to fiddle around with making automation scripts
work.

Look at these examples:
1-st task "Show alert message" only shows the error message with some text.
2-nd task "Close alert window" closes this message when it appeared.

"Close alert window" has Window watcher trigger which run the task when desired window has been created.
Import these task into RoboTask and do not forget to enable tasks after importing
