Overview

This Universal Task allows Stonebranch users to schedule, trigger, and monitor the UiPath (RPA) process directly from the Universal Controller.

This task uses a Python request module to make REST-API calls to the UiPath orchestrator.
It can trigger the RPA process in UiPath using just UiPath process name, orchestrator base URL, UiPath account name and service instance.
The task triggers the UiPath process for execution, monitors until process completion, and populates the results in Universal Controller.
It also features a tight integration with ITSM tools, meaning that it can auto-create incidents in case of UiPath RPA process execution failure.

Software Requirements

This integration requires an Universal Agent and a Python runtime to execute the Universal Task against a UiPath orchestrator instance.
