This workflow template is a basic sample of how NLP works and how to integrate it with UiPath.

  

It will ask you to enter a phrase to pass to the NLP engine, once entered it will send it to the NLP engine through an HTTP request and return a JSON file with the entity and the accuracy NLP has determined.

  

Once you have the entity you can proceed with your code.

  

**Example:**

Question: What is your name?

Entity: name

The NLP will recognize that you are looking for a name.

  

Enjoy!

Smartbridge has created a custom activity package to simplify automating processes that use Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP by replacing UI operations with background API calls to the AIS Server.​ With this package, automations are easier to develop by having dedicated activities for many operations in JD Edwards and faster to execute as these activities are using the JDE API to communicate with the ERP.

The package includes the following: ​

*   **JD Edwards Application Scope:** Handles the authentication to JD Edwards and passes the token to the sub-sequent activities.
*   **Simple Table Query:** Execute simple queries over EnterpriseOne tables.
*   **Execute A Form:** Request to execute an EnterpriseOne form. Optionally, perform actions on the form and receive data from the form in the response.​
*   **Add Text Attachment:** Add a text attachment for the given media object key.
*   **Update Text Attachment:** Update the text of a text media object for a given structure, key, and sequence. If sequence is not provided, the first text media object will be updated.

**Smartbridge provides advisory services, implementation and customizations to support your Salesforce RPA needs.**

  

One of the most efficient ways to maximize your Salesforce investment is to integrate Robotic Process Automation technology. Combining RPA and Salesforce can render both specific and cross-functional benefits within an organization’s departments. Through streamlining rule-based processes, this integration can have a major impact on critical customer-facing teams.

### Here are some practical examples we’ve seen first hand:

**SALES & CUSTOMER SERVICE**
----------------------------

*   **Automate Suspensions/Rejections:** Sales teams can be notified of suspension and rejection notices in an expedited manner, without any human interaction or manual triggers.
*   **Contract Management:** Important instances like contract or document expiration dates can be continuously monitored by RPA bots, and trigger notifications automatically. This can reduce opportunities lost through missed deadlines.
*   **Escalating Customer Issues:** Business rules can be put in place within your CRM system that escalate customer account issues, keeping key parties notified of important events within the customer life cycle.
*   **Chatbots:** Enhanced customer self-service can be achieved by integrating RPA AppExchange Packages and “Einstein Bots” in Salesforce. This results in work retention, faster resolution turnarounds and expedited case deflection.

**ADMINISTRATION**
------------------

*   **Data Entry:** Automatically import data from external applications into your Salesforce system, giving your employees time to accomplish more valuable tasks.
*   **Billing & Invoice Generation:** Through rule-based algorithms, invoices can automatically be processed and generated with RPA. Those invoices can then be sent from the Salesforce system, or from specific categories or departments.
*   **Exporting Reports from Salesforce:** Not every business user has access to the Salesforce platform, especially in larger organizations. Further, there are many cases where those types of users still need access to reports compiled there. With RPA, these reports can be exported, configured and distributed to external parties.

**IT/INFRASTRUCTURE**
---------------------

*   **Reduction in Maintenance Efforts:** Since RPA performs system tasks essentially free of mistakes, significant time is saved troubleshooting, finding and resolving system errors. IT and infrastructure teams can now spend more time assisting with innovative opportunities within Salesforce.
*   **Integrating Salesforce with Outside Applications:** RPA can seamlessly integrate Salesforce with API-less systems, when tools like Mulesoft or Dell Boomi aren’t the best fit. external sources, ensuring data doesn’t get skewed in the migration process.

**Smartbridge provides advisory services, implementation, and customizations to support your SAP ERP process automation needs.**

  

One of the most efficient ways to maximize your SAP investment is to integrate Robotic Process Automation technology. Combining RPA and ERP can render cross-functional benefits within an organization’s departments. Through streamlining rule-based processes, this integration can have a major impact on critical internal reconciliation teams.

  

### Here are some practical examples we’ve seen firsthand:

Finance and Supply Chain Functions
----------------------------------

*   **Automate Finance Reconciliation:** Bots will utilize the UiPath UI, API and Database Activities to perform the mundane finance transactions reconciliation across different functions and enable the users to only work on exceptions.
*   **Contract / Project funds monitoring:** Bots will utilize the UiPath Document Understanding, Excel, and SAP Activities Library to pull the data and monitor the contract or project budget against the booked costs/revenue and trigger notifications automatically. This can reduce overages in costs or missed revenue.
*   **AR Collection:** Bots will utilize the API Activities, Database and Excel activities to perform various business rules to perform credit analysis and send notifications to customers with pending payments using the Twilio UiPath Library. This will result in the timely collection of pending invoices and improve cash flow.
*   **AP Invoice Automation:** UiPath Document Understanding can be used to process vendor invoices received from various channels and automate the consumption, validation, and routing for required approvals. The Bots will use the SAP Activities, JSON activities, Excel to extract data and validate to look for approaching due dates and process invoices in a timely manner. This would result in reducing any penalties for late payments or taking advantage of pre-pay discounts if any.
*   **Inventory Replenishment:** UiPath Bots perform SAP Activities to read Sales orders and check for available inventory to notify the supply chain team using email and Twilio library to replenish the inventory and fulfill the sales orders. This increases customer satisfaction and has a positive impact on cash flow.
*   **Chatbots**: UiPath Druid Chatbots will enhance customer and vendor self-service by integrating UiPath AppExchange Packages and SAP data like Address Update, Order Lookup, Inventory Lookup, Invoice Status, etc. This results in reducing errors related to customer and vendor data, faster resolution turnarounds for your key partners, and relieves department users in dealing with mundane requests.

*   **Exporting Reports from SAP:** Not every business user has access to your SAP platform, especially in larger organizations. With UiPath Bots, the required reports can be exported, configured and distributed to external/internal parties via email or shared location.

IT/INFRASTRUCTURE
-----------------

*   **Reduction in Maintenance Efforts:** UiPath Bots will be programmed to perform system tasks consistently and help with significant time savings for troubleshooting, finding, and resolving system errors. IT and infrastructure teams can now spend more time assisting with innovative opportunities within the SAP systems.
*   **Integrating SAP with Outside Applications:** UiPath Bots will seamlessly integrate your SAP system’s various applications using the UI and API libraries without the need for a separate middleware system.
