Difference between Methods and Events in PEGA Robotics?
Hi,
Can anyone of you let me know the basic difference between Methods and Events in PEGA Robotics?
Though I did POC and executed couple of automation, but finally end with this question?
Much appreciate your response in advance.

Events - Are the one which are performed by the user.
Example: Assume we have "submit" button on portal. The moment user clicks on submit button, the automation should trigger. Here, we use "click" as event to execute the further process.
Methods - Methods will be executed by Robots. It's kind of instruction to robot, to perform/wait for some action.
Example: "PerformClick" is a method, used to perform click operation by robot.
Please correct me if my understanding went wrong.
Thanks!

Events are not necessarily triggered by the user. While application is running it can trigger events. For example an application trying to connect to a server and unable to do so, a MessageDialog from the application may be displayed. The triggered event in this case would be "ApplicationErrorDialog.Shown".

There is no different definition for either of these terms as they relate to Pega Robotics than what they mean in programming in general. A method is simply something that you can tell an object to so (like a function). An event is that object telling you it has done something Z(or is doing something in the case of synchronous events).
