Botflows
A Botflow is a single file having a .rpa file extension. An example of a Botflow file name is MyBotflow.rpa.
Before you can begin using Nintex RPA, you must create a new Botflow to store and save all your work. Because Botflows are portable, you can run them on any computer with Nintex RPA installed if the target application is the same.

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
|
Data |
Data files are external to the Botflow and are therefore not saved as part of the Botflow. |
|
Run Settings |
Run settings are not stored with the Botflow and therefore are not "remembered" automatically. A Set Speed Action can be added to your script to set the run speed at the time the Botflow runs. |
