Automating actions performed in third-party systems by using a content package
As an application business analyst, you can use content packages to leverage the out-of-the-box connectors such as Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Azure, and Jenkins. You can create services to automate user requests and integrate with third-party applications by using the out-of-the-box content packages.
Out-of-the-box content packages
BMC Helix Innovation Studio provides the following content packages:
Third-party system | Example | Description | Content package | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Service | Definitions and bot script | |||
Microsoft Azure | Automate the task of creating a virtual machine in Azure. | BMC Sample Create Virtual Machine 21.05 | NA | |
Automation Anywhere | Automate the task of providing user payslips by using an Automation Anywhere Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bot. The RPA bot connects to a payroll application, fetches the payslip, and shares the payslip with the user through an email. | BMC Sample Request Payslip 21.05 |
| |
Jenkins | Automate the task of triggering a Jenkins job that deploys several applications. | BMC Sample Deploy Instance 21.05 | NA | |
Blue Prism | Automate the task of applying for a time off by using a Blue Prism Robotic Process Automation (RPA) process. The process connects to a Time off application and submits the time off request for a user. | BMC Sample Request Time Off 21.05 | BMC Sample Request Time Off Process.zip | |
Automate the task of providing user payslips by using a Blue Prism Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bot. The RPA process connects to a payroll application, fetches the payslip, and shares the payslip with the user through an email. | BMC Sample Request Payslip with Blue Prism 21.3.01 |
| ||
UiPath | Automate the task of providing user payslips by using a UiPath Robotic Process Automation (RPA) bot. The RPA process connects to a payroll application, fetches the payslip, and shares the payslip with the user through an email. | BMC Sample Request Payslip with UiPath 21.3.01 |

Download the sample script files at PDFs, videos, and API documentation and use them in the third-party system. For example, to implement the Request a payslip service, you can download the BMC Sample Request PaySlip Bot Script.zip file and upload it to Automation Anywhere.
