Introduction

UiPath Add-ins use the Orchestrator APIs to enable the inbound automation from other apps to UiPath. They can trigger certain actions automatically, such as creating queue items and starting jobs, based on events within the apps. This eliminates the need to monitor robotic processes continually and lets the robots react to changes in near real time.

How they work​

When enabling the inbound automation from a separate environment to UiPath Orchestrator, the add-in establishes an authenticated connection to one or more of your Orchestrator Tenants.

In certain scenarios, the connection is only established after you enter your Orchestrator authentication details into the add-in Connection Settings. The add-in verifies the information and creates the connection.

Key advantages​

Some of the key advantages of our add-ins are:

  • High availability - They provide seamless integration with Orchestrator.
  • High consistency - Triggering jobs with correct parameters.
