RoboTask forum

At the moment, there is no actions to download messages from the newsgroups. Perhaps we'll add them in the future.

We've fixed some bugs in the Hot Keys trigger and plan to release v2.1 within a few days.

"RoboTask-desktop" and "RoboTask-service" can be running simultaneously and they use different task folders. In the RoboTask-service (green icon in the tray), select the "Options | Settings" in the main menu, and specify the same folder that is used in RoboTask-desktop ...

In order to run RoboTask as a service, in the RoboTask's program group, click NT Service->Install Service, then click NT Service->Run Service.

In the current version there is no such action, but we've added this idea into our to-do list.

In the Set Variable action, we've added the "Expand Variable Value" option. Please wait for the new version 2.1. Thank you for your patience.

We'll completely re-write the Window Watcher triggering event so it will be able to watch child windows. Please wait for the new version 2.1. Thank you for your patience.

We plan to create a SDK for developing third-party COM plug-ins. But I can't say exactly when that SDK will be available.

If a computer is in standby mode, none application can be running properly, i.e. they are simply "sleeping", and RoboTask is not an exception.

You can do that - in the File Monitor settings, click the Save Changes tab and select the corresponding option. Then, in the List File Name edit box, specify for example {TempDir}\MyNewFiles.txt. You can download the sample task here and import it to the RoboTask.
