Robot Handling
Description
Robot Handling simulates low-level mouse and keyboard interactions on the machine where the workflow runs. Use this step when your automation needs to interact with desktop applications that do not expose APIs — for example, clicking buttons, typing text into input fields, or navigating menus in legacy GUI applications. It is typically combined with other GUI automation steps in workflows that automate end-to-end desktop processes.
