Throughout my RPA journey, I’ve developed and deployed 15+ web-based automations using UiPath and Blue Prism, each designed to streamline business operations, reduce manual effort, and enhance process reliability. These automations focused on specific browser environments—either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge—based on project requirements, delivering high-impact results across multiple domains.
Scope of My Web Automation Projects
Web-based processes are often repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone. My automations tackled a variety of real-world browser interactions, including:
- Extracting structured and unstructured data from web portals
- Automating form submissions and workflow approvals
- Generating reports and downloading data files
- Moving data across systems (CRM, ERP, HRMS) via web interfaces
- Logging into secure sites and handling sessions dynamically
- Email-based approvals and notifications using web clients
Tools & Platforms Used
UiPath
- Built automation using UI automation activities, Data Scraping, and REFramework
- Managed browser automation with Chrome/Edge extensions
- Used Orchestrator for scheduling, logging, and queue management
- Applied Retry Scopes and dynamic selectors for reliability
Blue Prism
- Designed robust processes in Object Studio and Process Studio
- Utilized spying modes (HTML, AA, UIA) for accurate element targeting
- Employed Application Modeller to handle web application structures
- Incorporated credentials management and queue-based processing
Highlights of My Web Automation Projects
1. Intelligent UI Interaction
- Handled dynamic page structures and changing element IDs
- Used anchor elements, Wait Stages, and attribute matching
- Ensured smooth execution in real-time data entry and retrieval workflows
2. Exception Management & Resilience
- Implemented robust error handling in both platforms
- Created logs and alert systems for failure tracking
- Built retry and fallback logic to recover from unexpected UI changes
3. Reusable & Configurable Design
- Designed automations with centralized config files
- Enabled parameterized workflows for easy scaling
- Reused components like login handlers, extractors, and loggers
Example Use Cases Delivered
- Monthly reporting automation from internal business portals
- Automated lead capture and data validation from online forms
- Vendor compliance checks from government and financial websites
- Employee onboarding and benefits enrollment via web systems
- Email approvals and data logging using web-based mail clients
Impact & Business Outcomes
- Saved 1000+ work hours annually through end-to-end browser automation
- Reduced manual data entry errors by over 90%
- Enhanced process transparency and auditability through integrated logs
- Improved team efficiency by freeing employees from repetitive browser tasks
Final Thoughts
Developing 15+ web automation solutions using UiPath and Blue Prism has given me deep insights into RPA implementation in real-world scenarios. These projects not only strengthened my technical expertise but also contributed to significant operational efficiency for my clients. Web-based RPA continues to be a powerful tool in achieving fast, scalable digital transformation.
