How To Compare Time In UiPath

Posted on by Sharath Raju

In our automation processes, we might come across situations where we are required to switch between various workflows based on time.

So how can we do that?

Datetime.Parse(DateTime.Now.ToString(“HH:mm:ss”)) < datetime.Parse(_Time)

Note:
Replace the “_Time” with your required “TimeSpan” .i.e 18:00:00, 02:00:00…

Example

Implementation using UiPath :

Let us implement a workflow which compares the current time with the provided time and displays the appropriate messages.

Step 1:
Drag “If” activity into the design panel and populates its condition property with the above-mentioned code with “18:00:00” in it.
