How can you trigger a bot to run in response to an event in Automation Anywhere?

A bot can be triggered to run in response to specific events using Task Scheduler or through API calls. Task Scheduler allows you to set predefined times or conditions under which a bot should execute, automating the process based on a schedule. This is particularly useful for routine tasks that need to be performed at regular intervals.

API calls expand the functionality even further, enabling bots to be triggered based on event-driven architectures. For example, an API can be designed to execute a bot when specific data is received or certain conditions are met, providing a robust method for real-time automation in response to diverse triggers.

In contrast, scheduling tasks manually does not automate the triggering process — it merely sets up a one-time or continuous schedule without the dynamic response to occurrences. User input requires human initiation, which contradicts the goal of automating responses to events. Activating a password change doesn't inherently serve as a universal trigger for bot execution, making it a limited approach.
