Creating Your First Automation Project
This tutorial teaches you how to create a basic task automation project in StudioX and run it on your machine. The automation processes an Excel file which contains a column with names and generates a unicorn name for each of the names using the unicorn name generator at https://www.rpasamples.com/unicornname. Each unicorn name is then extracted from the web page and added to another column in the spreadsheet next to its corresponding name.
Before you begin:
- Download the archive with the automation project in this tutorial using the button at the bottom of this page. Extract the archive and copy the file ExcelFile.xlsx to your Desktop.

This example uses Google Chrome, which requires the UiPath extension for Chrome to be installed. To install it, go to Home (StudioX Backstage View) > Tools, and then, under UiPath Extensions, click Chrome.
If you want to use Edge or Firefox instead, install the extension for that browser. No extension is required if you want to use Internet Explorer.
