Robocorp Code in action

It’s now time to write our first Zeebe orchestrated Robot Framework automation. In a previous exercise we had user task for just throwing a dice. Let’s implement automation for a process with similar task:

../_images/speech-request.svg — `speech-request.bpmn`

We can also reuse the same DMN:
../speech/pick-a-sentence.dmn../speech/pick-a-sentence.html

Launch Robocorp Code

Create a new robot

Create as child folder

Choose standard robot

Give robot name

Implement robot tasks

tasks.robot

*** Settings ***

Library    RPA.Robocorp.WorkItems

    ${min}=    Convert To Number    1
    ${max}=    Convert To Number    20
    ${result}    Randint    ${min}    ${max}

    Create Output Work Item
    Set Work Item Variable    result    ${result}
    Save Work Item

Configure robot tasks

robot.yaml
