STEP 01

Register with UiPath Community Edition

UiPath is the separate software company providing the automation platform. Register directly with UiPath, not TaskSultan, to create a free Automation Cloud account hosted by UiPath. The UiPath Community Edition plan includes one tenant, one Pro user, one Plus user, one Unattended Robot and a monthly Credits pool, subject to UiPath eligibility terms. Use a business email if you want to claim TaskSultan's free first automation.

STEP 02

Download and install the UiPath Platform

Sign in to your own UiPath Cloud account (from Step 1), click Studio, go to Projects and select the Install Locally button. This downloads UiPathPlatform.msi, the UiPath Platform installer. It installs Studio Desktop: the Windows application for designing, testing and maintaining workflows, together with UiPath Assistant and the Robot. Once UiPathPlatform.msi has downloaded, run it. Your link contains your organisation's private tenant identifier, so it cannot be shared as one universal link.

Open UiPath Cloud
STEP 03

Connect UiPath Assistant and the Robot

Assistant and the Robot are installed with Studio in step 2. Now open Assistant, sign in with the same UiPath account and confirm that the local Robot is connected to your UiPath tenant. Assistant is the desktop launcher and control panel for available processes and attended runs.

STEP 04

Install the free Zoom Workplace app

Zoom is used for desktop sharing during Call Capture. The session is audio-only, but you will share your desktop while explaining the process so TaskSultan can see the steps, rules, exceptions and evidence needed for the automation brief. The free Zoom app is sufficient; no paid Zoom plan is required.

STEP 05

Book an audio Call Capture session

Choose a repetitive, low-hanging-fruit process and arrange the first audio call with TaskSultan. You will explain the process while sharing your desktop in Zoom; TaskSultan will capture the requirements and help confirm whether it is a suitable free first automation. Bring the subject matter expert and representative test data.
