UiPath (and similar) as a "no code" solution is a bit of a joke (on those that don't know any better). Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good application for automating processes or certain types of jobs, but a lot of coding has to go into it. Often you are typing lots of VB.NET or C# code into boxes.
What's often really going on, is often "packaged libraries" that you add to do a task, then lots of typing of sort of "glue code" in boxes to get them to work together. Which can lead to getting bit in the butt with the problems of "no code visual programming", where there is boxes on top of boxes hiding stuff and potential troubleshooting headaches.
Often, the team needs a "real programmer" or close to it, that can handle the heavy lifting, troubleshooting, or custom solutions.
