Ubot is an extremely usable and powerful program. Odds are if you have just purchased it or are a newcomer to the program, you still have much to learn and possibilities you aren’t even aware of yet. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of Ubot.

Tip #1 – Take it One Step at a Time

This is definitely the most important ubot studio tips & tricks When building your bot scripts remember that all software is created to take things one step at a time. You can’t just jump from step A to step C. The challenge is not in misunderstanding this idea, but rather recognizing all of the steps and processes that have to take place.

The problem that comes up most frequently when creating software with Ubot is not about forgetting steps, but not recognizing them in the first place. For instance, you might have a bot programmed to click a link on a webpage that will take the browser to another page, and then have a command telling it to interact with this next page. There is actually a missing step here which is the page load time. Ubot will just operate at break-neck speed, so when you need it to slow down like for a page loading, you need to define this in the script as well.

Tip #2 – Finding Problems in Your Bot

The best way to find problems with your bot is to use the footprint symbol next to the run button to run the bot script in step by step mode. This will allow you to pinpoint any issues that arise. However, this won’t help you to find ALL of the problems.

Even when using the step method to find issues, some errors can still slip by due to the natural flow of the bot when in normal running speed. This is why you always need to run and check your bot AFTER you fix errors in the step mode.
