Configuring Triggers in UiPath

Triggers are essential for automating processes based on specific events, such as new file creation, email receipt, or database updates. By setting up triggers, we can streamline processes, save time, and reduce errors. Triggers provide a mechanism for subscribing to specific events from third-party apps, which are passed through the connections. For example, a trigger can initiate an automation such as: Email Received: an automation can be triggered when a user receives a new email in their inbox. Form Submission: an automation can be triggered when a user submits a form on a website. New File Uploaded: an automation can be triggered when a new file is uploaded to a cloud storage service. Payment Received : an automation can be triggered when the inventory level of a product falls below a certain quantity. These are just a few examples, and there are countless other possibilities depending on the integrations and events supported by the third-party apps and automation platforms you ar...

Introduction to UiPath Orchestrator

Orchestrator is the component of the UiPath Platform for managing automations, robots, and the related entities. Although it comes with different cloud and on-premises delivery options, including persistence, high availability, and disaster recovery, users can access it through a simple web interface. Orchestrator offers role-based access control and a structure of tenants and folders to replicate organizational structures. Users can run the automation workflows developed in Studio and published to Orchestrator using the unattended robot workforce. Furthermore, Orchestrator is used to manage and distribute licenses, as well as to store automation resources. A single Orchestrator instance can be split into multiple Tenants. Each tenant in an organization can be further subdivided and organized into Folders. Tenants are designed for the purpose of complete isolation of all Orchestrator entities (i.e., Robots, Assets, Queues, etc.) between these segregated instances of your deployment, al...
