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 Foxtrot 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 Foxtrot RPA installed if the target application is the same.
