Pick & Pick Branch Activities in UiPath

Pick and Pick Branch activities are very essential for the automations which require multiple handles to run in parallel at a time.

Pick activity is used to design a set of event triggers and execute the corresponding action based on the event triggered. Pick activity actually serves as a scope for 'Pick Branch' activities, where each Pick Branch activity contains a 'Trigger' block and an 'Action' block.

When the Pick activity is initiated, the triggers for all the 'Pick Branches' are executed in parallel. When one trigger completes(For eg: found an element), then its corresponding action is executed, and all other triggers are cancelled!

The main advantage of using Pick and Pick Branch activity is it helps to check multiple handles at a single point of time.

💡For eg: If we are expecting more than one type of element to be appeared on a browser screen and need to execute actions based on the element appeared, we can use the Pick and Pick Branch activity. Advantage : All the elements are investigated in parallel.
