UiPath is part of a limited availability release for the time being. If you find that the UiPath app is not active in your environment, please open a Support ticket. |
UiPath is a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) system. UsersCan use the system on a limited basis based on the rights assigned by the admin. create software robots (bots) that interact with systems and applications to automate users’ day-to-day tasks on the desktop, such as copying and pasting data, making calculations, and moving files.
By combining RPA with Action Flows, you can:
-
leverage your existing bots and take targeted action by intelligently triggering them based on insights from EMS.
-
automate your entire landscape by combining API-led automation and UI-led automation in one Action Flow.
Take a look at our video on RPAs and Action Flows.
To use UiPath with , you need to:
By using the UiPath app in Action Flows, users can:
-
start a UiPath job for a selected process.
-
add EMS data to UiPath by passing itemsItems are rows in records (order/request/invoice/purchase...) to a UiPath queue.
In UiPath, items are key-value pairs of specific content.
This page explains how to:
-
set up a connection to UiPath (cloud).
-
configure and start a UiPath job.
-
add items to a UiPath queue.
Connect UiPath to Boost.spaceCentralization and synchronization platform, where you can organize and manage your data. IntegratorPart of the Boost.space system, where you can create your connections and automate your processes.
Depending on the type of UiPath installation, you can connect UiPath to action flows using the following connection types:
-
UiPath On-premise (beta)
-
Uipath Cloud
|
Note |
|---|---|
|
Integration with an on-premise installation of UiPath is in the Beta version and is out of the scope of this documentation. The connection to an on-premise version is only possible when white-listing the Celonis IP address. |
To connect to the UiPath Cloud version, you need to obtain the Client ID, UserCan use the system on a limited basis based on the rights assigned by the admin. Key, Tenant Name, and Organization ID from your UiPath account and insert it in the Create a connection dialog in the Boost.space Integrator moduleThe module is an application or tool within the Boost.space system. The entire system is built on this concept of modularity. (module - Contacts).
To connect to a UiPath Cloud version:
-
Log in to your UiPath Orchestrator account.
-
Click Account Preferences > Privacy and Security > View API Access.
-
Copy the details of User Key, Organization ID, Tenant Name, and Client ID to a safe place and click OK.
-
Go to Boost.space Integrator and open the UiPath module’s Create a connection dialog and select the Connection type to UiPath Cloud.
-
In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
-
In the UiPath User Key, UiPath Organization ID, UiPath Tenant Name, and UiPath Client ID fields, enter the values copied in step 3 and click Create.
The connection is established and you can now create scenariosA specific connection between applications in which data can be transferred. Two types of scenarios: active/inactive. .
A Job is the triggerEvery scenario has a trigger, an event that starts your scenario. A scenario must have a trigger. There can only be one trigger for each scenario. When you create a new scenario, the first module you choose is your trigger for that scenario. Create a trigger by clicking on the empty module of a newly created scenario or moving the... event of a process. Each job is an instance of a robot running the process.
To start a UiPath job in action flows, you need to select the process, and a robot to execute the selected process.

|
Add Input Arguments (Optional) |
If there are any input variables configured for the process in your UiPath account, they would be shown in the app when you select the process. You can either enter the data manually or use the output values from the previous apps. |
In UiPath, a queue is a container of data held so other bots or applications can use it. Users create queues in their UiPath account.
From the Action Flows, we allow the users to fill in these queues with the data (key/value pair) to be picked up by the jobs or other applications.
