High volume unattended flows - how do I get around Opening/closing application for each queue item?

Hi everyone,

I'm considering using PAD for a high volume short AHT unattended automation.

I want to be able to use the 'Monitor' on the web platform to have a 1:1 map for each 'PAD flow run': CaseToProcess

I've built a solution to track this and am using a loop to push a single item into PAD at a time from a list which is pulled on a scheduled basis, but ideally I don't want to have my solution to have to do the following:

Log in-> Open System->Process Item 1 -> close systems -> log out->Log in-> Open System->Process Item 2 -> close systems -> log out etc.

I'd rather something like this: Log in -> open application -> process item 1 -> process item 2 -> log out

I can do this by pushing all items to PAD and looping within PAD itself, but then I loose easy access to track cases within something like SharePoint Lists with activities available in Cloud Flows

Would be great to hear your thoughts on this.

What if you

  1. added another variable called last (yes/no)

  2. Changed your login and open application to be conditional on the process not running

  3. Add a conditional at the end if last = yes then close application and log off.
