# RoboTask

> Task automation for Windows built from ready-made actions

RoboTask is a task automation program for Windows. Tasks are assembled in a visual editor from more than 300 ready-made actions covering files, FTP, email, web requests, databases, windows and keyboard and mouse input, and they start on a schedule or in response to events such as a hotkey, a changed folder or a user logging on. It can run as a Windows service and is sold as a perpetual license that includes a year of updates.

## Ways to pay less

- **Perpetual license with a one-time payment** (Lifetime license): Every license is perpetual and never expires. A purchase includes one year of updates and priority support, and a Personal license upgrades to Business for the $100 difference. Source: https://www.neowise.com/robotask/order/
- **Volume discounts on Business licenses** (Other savings): The per-license price falls to $207.50 for 2 to 4 licenses, $166.00 for 5 to 9 and $124.50 for 10 to 49. Orders of 50 or more are quoted. Source: https://www.neowise.com/robotask/order/
- **Multi-year update renewals at a discount** (Other savings): Renewing updates for 2 years saves 5% and for 3 years saves 10%: $113 and $160 for Personal, $189 and $268 for Business. Source: https://www.neowise.com/robotask/order/

## Key features

- **Visual task editor:** A task is built by picking and combining actions in a visual editor, with conditions, loops, custom variables and expressions. No batch files or scripts are needed.
- **Schedules and event triggers:** Tasks run on a schedule or when something happens: a hotkey, a file or folder change, a window or process event, a device being plugged in, a logon, or CPU and RAM usage.
- **Macro recorder:** Keyboard and mouse actions can be recorded and replayed, and tasks can send keystrokes, move the pointer and click in any application.
- **Files, FTP, email and web actions:** Actions copy and sync files, transfer over FTP, SFTP and FTPS, send and receive email with attachments, call REST APIs, scrape pages and fill web forms.
- **Python, JavaScript and PowerShell:** Scripts in Python, JavaScript or PowerShell run inside a task alongside the visual actions, with no extra services to install.
- **Windows service and networking:** RoboTask runs as a regular application or as a Windows service that works with nobody logged on. Instances on different machines can launch each other's tasks over a LAN or the Internet.

## Good for

- Windows users replacing Task Scheduler jobs and batch files
- Unattended file transfers, backups and email jobs on a server
- Buyers who want a perpetual license instead of a subscription

## Worth knowing

- Windows only: the system requirements list Windows 7 to 11 and Windows Server 2008 to 2022.
- The Free License is for personal, non-commercial use and stops at 5 tasks of 50 steps each.
- The Personal License leaves out the Database, CSV Data, WebSockets and Console App plugins, and remote connections need a Business License.
- Updates are included for one year. Renewing costs $59 a year for Personal and $99 for Business; the installed version keeps working without it.
