Q: Looks impressive.

A couple questions:

1. Is RTILA a replacement to or companion to n8n?
2. Can RTILA be used to implement liquid syntax?
3. Can multiple RTILA bots be used in sequence or conjunction with each other to create dynamic outputs?

A: Hello Ryan, thank you for your comment and questions, see below answers

1. Is RTILA a replacement to or companion to n8n?
>>> No single tool can do it all and RTILA is a great companion to n8n and we are planning to work out a more advanced form of integrating with n8n. Right now we already have sort of a "file bridge" that you can use between RTILA and other Desktop automations by using our "Folder/Filer Monitoring" command which will pickup any local file change and kick off a flow and then you can use our series of file manipulation commands (read/edit/rename/move/delete file) to "respond" to other Desktop Software. See the commands here: https://rtila.com/downloads/?_s=file

2. Can RTILA be used to implement liquid syntax?
>>>
We already implement Liquid Syntax in our commands and each command can output its value using {{CommandName}} syntax. But you can also have RTILA use JS command to change liquid syntax based element on a web page or even without liquid syntax you could use css locators of text based elements on a page and change their text value on the fly with RTILA. We are preparing a template to this end to demonstrate how you could use a web page to create a sort of user interface or wizard for the end-user of your automation.

3. Can multiple RTILA bots be used in sequence or conjunction with each other to create dynamic outputs?
>>>
Yes but painfully for now. You need to use a command line approach where at the end of each Bot you call a command line that can pass variables + trigger the next bot. See doc here: https://rtila.com/docs/standalone-executable-bots/#pass-variable-data-to-a-standalone-bot
A more simple work around is to "time" your automations using our Scheduller feature so that a given automation will run after the first automation and will "pull" the results of the former automation to feed the current automation process (by selecting an other automation as a source in the project settings).
