Can you give an example of how much an automation can cost?
As an example, for RPA Challenge automation, which has 10 web screens and 10 Excel rows, equivalent to inputting 10 contacts into a website, costs 30 work units.
1 work unit is used for each detection when UI is changed.
Details of RPA Challenge Usage
First web screen in RPA Challenge, Aura detects UI = 1 work unit
Entering data = 1 work unit
Page UI refreshes, Aura redetects new screen = 1 work unit
Aura loops and does this 10 times for each contact.

Additional work units will be used if a page is redetected more than 1 time due to screen changes (such as refresh or clicking a combobox changes the UI that needs to redetect to click item in combobox). |
How are Work Units deducted?
1 Work Unit is used for every UI (User Interface) screen that needs detection.
Example: Entering values into a screen with 1 or more textboxes and buttons uses 1 Work Unit credit by default.
Depending on changes in the screen, this value may increase from 1 Work Unit to 2 or more.
Each time the UI changes and Aura must detect controls again, this costs 1 work unit for that ‘re-detection’.
1 or more Work Units are used for every file that is extracted from.
If a command is used to explicitly extract from a file, such as a PDF or image, then Work Unit credits are used.
Example: Extracting content and values from a image or PDF file will use at least 1 credit. If the image or PDF file has many pages or the automation uses a command to auto-generate field values, additional Work Units are applied (on average +3 to +5 Work Units per PDF).
1 Work Unit is used for every Web Page that is extracted from.
If a command is used to explicitly extract from a website page, then additional Work Unit credits are used.
Example: Extracting text and table data from a web page will use additional Work Unit credits.
”Extract from $website” command would extract all contents from a website form into auto generated variable key-value pairs, this also includes tabular data, which are auto converted into datatables (see below).
1 or more Work Units are used for every Datatable that is extracted from.
If a command is used to explicitly extract from a datatable in a web or non-web application, then 1+ Work Unit credits are used.
Example: Extracting table data from a User Interface will use 1 Work Unit credits.
”Get datatables” command would extract all tabular tables on the screen (or image or pdf file provided) automatically into datatables.
