One of the latest addition to the UiPath family is the feature of creating UiPath Apps. UiPath apps are basically web apps that can be connected to the UiPath Bots and can create an easy way for users to interact with the Bots with an interactive front end and open up a lot of new exciting RPA opportunities. With the advent of Apps, UiPath now has features to create the Front End, Middle Layer, and back end of an app very quickly.
Today, I will show you how to build a UiPath App, connect it to a bot, utilize Arguments, and also effective Error Handling right inside the App itself.
