Call Desktop Automation Robot
This action creates a Call Desktop Automation Robot step required to call a Desktop Automation robot from a Web Automation robot. For more information, see Get Started.
Before using the Desktop Automation feature, you need to configure Automation Devices and specify a reference to an Automation Device (not required when automating terminals).

- Provide an input value for the Desktop Automation robot.
