There are a few things to consider in terms of the batch file if you wish to schedule it. To do this, you simply add the commands after each other like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxtrot Suite\Foxtrot\Foxtrot.exe" /Open C:\ProgramData\Foxtrot Suite\Run Script v1.fox /Run /Close /Open C:\ProgramData\Foxtrot Suite\Run Script v2.fox /Run Batch file for scheduling It is important to know that in one batch file, it is possible to run multiple projects in a sequence, meaning that after the first is complete, the second will start, etc. Space must be used before each command and all commands must be on a single line. Please note that commands must always start with a "/" character, not a "\" character. Unmarks specific records in the database. Instructs Foxtrot RPA to enter silent mode. Temporarily sets a Task as the Startup Task. Sets the Run Speed that will be used when running the script. Sets the Run Mode that will be used when running the script. Here is a list of the support commands that can be added with a brief description of each: "Path to Foxtrot/FoxBot.exe" /Open Project Path /Run It is important to notice that the name of the application and the path of the application is surrounded by quotation marks, whereas the path to the project file is not. The logic of the batch file is as shown below.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxtrot Suite\Foxtrot\Foxtrot.exe" /Open C:\ProgramData\Foxtrot Suite\Run Script v1.fox /Run
In below example, the Foxtrot program is installed in the "Program Files (x86)" folder and the project to open and run is "C:\ProgramData\Foxtrot Suite\Run Script v1.fox". Simply open Notepad and write a similar line in order to open Foxtrot and run a project. Foxtrot and FoxBot allows you to run your projects through batch files, allowing you to schedule or trigger the automation as you desire.
