Setup

Introduction​

Before you begin using the Upwire activities, review and complete the following setup steps. These steps ensure that your Upwire account and UiPath activities can work seamlessly together.

Steps​

Create an Upwire account​

The Upwire Scope requires an active Upwire account. To create your Upwire account, go to the Upwire Signup page and complete the required steps.

Get your account passtoken​

Your account passtoken is different from the password you created during registration.

You'll use the passtoken value for the Passtoken property in the Upwire Scope activity.

  1. Create a new or open an existing flow template.
    • You can follow the Quickstart guide steps to create a sample, Send SMS flow template.
    • To learn more about creating flow templates, see Upwire's YouTube step-by-step tutorials.
  2. From the flow template menu, select Show Jobs API (this opens Master Job Api Wizard).
  3. Click the Append to Existing Job tab and then click the Show API button (the JSON window opens).
  4. Copy the passtoken value.

    • Recommendation: create a String variable for the Upwire Scope Passtoken property and use the passtoken as your default value.

Purchase an Upwire number​

To send SMS messages using Upwire, you must purchase an Upwire number. For more information, see the Upwire website.

After you purchase a number, you'll use it in the From property of the Send SMS activity.

Schedule your flow template to wait for API call​

To use the Start Job and Stop Job activities, the flow template must be configured so that it can receive API calls.

To set your flow template:

  1. Open the flow template that you want to start or stop via the Start Job or Stop Job activities.

  2. Run the pre-launch check.

  3. Click the Schedule for Later option.

  4. Click the Wait for API Call icon.

  5. Click the rocket icon (you don't need to schedule a time).

  6. Verify the template says Waiting API.
