Automation Anywhere provides a feature where you can easily convert your keystroke actions into a prompt.
  • Select any keystroke action, right click it and select 'Convert to Prompt'
  • Specify your own message that you want Automation Anywhere to display when you run the task.
  • Now, when you run this task, instead of playing the recorded keystrokes, it will prompt the user for the input. You can put in different values to test different scenarios in your websites/applications.
  • The prompt window when you run the task will look as shown in Screenshot 3 where you can enter different values every time you run the task

When you run this task it plays back your recorded actions. Whenever it comes across a prompt command, it will prompt the user for the input and will insert the values provided by the user into the target application.
