Amazon SQS UiPath Integration Activities

Inspiration

The inspiration for development came from a problem of account migration process. We need to migrate accounts from one application to our internal app. but the issue was there was no direct way to insert data through backend due the rules that need to be applied while creating account through UI Only. So now the data from backend was sent to SQS queue and RPA bot consumed the message and created the account via Ui automation

What it does

This Package contains below Activities

1. Connect SQS — This activity creates a connection object which can be passed to other activities to define connection.

2. Send Message — This Activity is used to send the message to SQS Queue.

3. Receive Message — This Activity is used to receive the message(s) from SQS Queue.

4. Delete Message — This Activity is used to Delete a message from SQS Queue.

5. Purge Queue — This Activity is used to Delete a message from SQS Queue.

How I built it

Activities were built using UiPath Activity Creator (a visual studio Extension )

Challenges I ran into

Making connection to SQS using .NET AWS SDK

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

These activities can be used in multiple scenarios and help RPA to leverage AWS's Cloud. Some of the use cases can be Found Here

and 2nd thing these activities are not available on UiPath AWS official Activity Package, so this is new .

What I learned
