Introducing UiPath Integration Service

UiPath Integration Service is a component of the UiPath Platform, designed to simplify and enhance the automation of third-party applications. As automation continues to play a pivotal role in transforming businesses, it's crucial to establish seamless connections between different systems, providing data exchange and streamlined processes.

In this course we'll explore the integration Service's key features, benefits, and functionalities that make it an essential tool for automating processes involving various third-party applications.

You can access Integration Service from the ribbon on the left side of Automation Cloud.

The main key features of UiPath Integration Service are:

Large and Growing Catalog of Pre-built Connectors:

The Integration Service offers a wide range of popular, pre-built connectors, making it easier to integrate with various third-party applications. This saves time and effort in setting up connections and simplifies the integration process.

Simplified Integration:

By deploying these connectors, automation processes that involve third-party applications become much simpler. The connectors streamline the integration, allowing robots to interact with the apps automatically and respond to events seamlessly.

API and UI Automation Combination:

Each third-party app connector comes with a dedicated set of activities that enable developers to combine automation at the API level with regular UI automation. This expands the scope of processes that can be automated and provides enhanced design flexibility.

Simplified Security:

The service simplifies the security of automations by allowing connectors to share authentication and authorization usage across different security protocols like OAuth. This makes sure that the automation processes are secure and compliant with the necessary protocols.

Enhanced Data Exchange:

Through seamless third-party app integration, the service enables efficient data exchange between UiPath and external systems, promoting data-driven decision-making and improved insights.

Event-based Triggers:

Automations can be triggered based on events occurring in connected systems. This feature allows the UiPath Platform to launch automation workflows in response to specific actions or changes in the third-party applications.

The three main components of Integration Service are:

  • Connectors  
  • Connections
  • Triggers

Connectors

Integration Service comes with a large and growing catalog of popular, pre-built connectors. Any third-party application can be coupled with the specific connector and server-side triggers, so that robots react and respond automatically. Once set up, these connectors can be used in UiPath Studio and other products as well, such as UiPath Apps.

Connections

Connections allow you to establish tasks and exchanges between single users and external applications using the authentication process of the API provider. In the Connections tab, you can see a list of all defined connections for all connectors. If the connection status indicates Success, it means that the connections are functional, and you can start using them in UiPath Studio to create automation projects.

Triggers

Triggers provide a mechanism for subscribing to specific events from the third-party applications, giving you the flexibility to automatically start processes in Orchestrator. Automations can be kicked off based on events in connected systems by using triggers. Before using triggers, you need to have an automation project created, published and a trigger configured for that specific context.

Summary

  • Integration Service provides standardized authorization and authentication, prebuilt APIs, and event-based triggers, enabling the development of automation projects in UiPath Studio with ease.
  • Integration Service makes sure that each connector shares authentication and authorization usage across different security protocols, providing a secure and compliant automation environment.
  • Connectors, Connections, and Triggers are three main components of Integration Service.
  • A collection of prebuilt connectors to simplify integration with third-party applications.
  • API Automation: allows developers to combine automation at the API level with regular UI automation, expanding the types of processes that can be automated.
  • Enables automations to be triggered based on events in connected systems, enhancing the responsiveness of the automation.

How to call Popup Applet through Server Script in Siebel

Background: Based on the requirements you need to show data or reports on a popup applet. You can invoke popup applet using workflow (below business service will be used in business service step), applet server script or browser script and using vanilla method and setting field user properties. Procedure: Below is the script for calling popup applet through server script: if (MethodName == "MethodName") { var oServiceAF = TheApplication().GetService("SLM Save List Service"); var inputPropAF = TheApplication().NewPropertySet(); var outputPropAF = TheApplication().NewPropertySet(); inputPropAF.SetProperty("Applet Name","ABC Popup Applet"); inputPropAF.SetProperty("Applet Mode","6"); inputPropAF.SetProperty("Applet Height", "700"); inputPropAF.SetProperty("Applet Width", "700"); oServiceAF.InvokeMethod("LoadPopupApplet", inputPropAF, outputPropAF) return (CancelOperati...

How to create and publish Inbound Web Service in Siebel based on Workflow

Inbound Web Services: The Inbound Web Service allows an external system to call a Siebel published Web Service. You can publish a business service or a business process as a Web Service and generate a Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) file that an external system can import. The Inbound Web Services can only be published from Siebel C using SOAP-RPC binding. Source: Oracle Docs What Is The Difference Between Web Services and APIs? An API is an interface that allows you to build on the data and functionality of another application, while a web service is a network-based resource that fulfills a specific task. Yes, there’s overlap between the two: all web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services. Both web services and APIs are — at their core — very useful and very much used today. However, it’s the web services associated with SOAP and/or Service Oriented Architecture which are falling out of favor. Source: NordicApis Process: Prepare the workflow which will serve as Si...
