Q: General inquiries
Hi, I'm interested about RTILA but I have a few questions:
1. If I want to sell an automation to my client, what does he need in order to run the automation? I understand I need to have Tier 6 but does my client need to learn and install the RTILA app?
2. Can RTILA do web scraping and can I set it at time intervals? For example, I want to scrape a certain website every hour for a year. Is this possible? And do I really need to open my computer and browser in order to execute the automation? Or I could just run it in the background, as long as the computer is turned on?
3. Aside from web browsers, can it also automate workflows using MacOS apps? For example, I want to scrape from a website, paste the data to Microsoft Excel, attach the Excel file to the Mail app and send that email to a recipient. Is this possible?
Thank you
RTILA

Thank you for your interest, see responses below
1) For standalone Bots/Executable files they are self container so your client will not need to install anything. Technically when they will launch the bot it will actually install the necessary NodeJs packages very quickly before launching the browser automation.
2) Yes you can set a schedule and have your project run every X number of times per minute/hour/day/weeks. You also check the setting for running in the background or you can install RTILA and run the projects from a cheap VPS server for $10/month or even less.
3) RTILA cannot automate the Desktop Apps per say but we have folder/files management commands that can allow RTILA to supervise/monitor a folder and pickup any new file or file change and then upload/use that file in a web automation flow then save a new result file etc... So this way RTILA can communicate with other Desktop software via file change.
