UiPath Email Parsing and RPA Challenge Automation

This RPA with UiPath project demonstrates reading structured data from an email inbox, parsing the content, and automating data entry on rpachallenge.com. Designed as a tutorial basis, the branches legacy/* showcase outdated coding practices and lack modern best practices.

Project Overview

This automation performs the following steps:

1. Connects to an email inbox using Orchestrator-stored credentials.
2. Reads and parses structured content from emails.
3. Enters parsed data into rpachallenge.com.

Branches

• legacy/REFramework2016: Contains code with outdated practices and minimal configurability, serving as an example of non-compliant code.

Requirements

• UiPath Studio: Tested with version 2024.10.x.
• Orchestrator Credentials: Requires credentials stored in UiPath Orchestrator for mail server access.

Project Details

• Orchestrator Integration: Credentials for the email server are securely retrieved from UiPath Orchestrator.
• Minimal Configurability: This project has several hardcoded values for educational purposes, demonstrating limitations of low-configurability design.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository and switch to the legacy/REFramework2016 branch.
2. Open the project in UiPath Studio 2024.10.x.
3. Ensure Orchestrator credentials are set up and available for the project.
4. Run the automation to observe the email parsing and data entry flow.

Purpose

This project is intended as a base for tutorials, illustrating:

• Legacy coding practices in UiPath.
• Hardcoded, low-configurability structures.
• Potential refactoring opportunities for modern UiPath standards.
