Using action apps

Introduction

This app shows how to create an Action Center form for onboarding employees.

Demo app - try it yourself

Download demo app from GitHub

Demo app - instructions to use

Access the GitHub repository and download the following files:
- App_BuildADeskNew.uiapp - the demo app that uses the action definition. Import it in UiPath Apps.
- SW_BuildADeskNew.uip - the Studio Web onboarding workflow. This creates the form in Action Center.
In UiPath Apps, create a new app. Select Add any from the dropdown arrow next to Add control, and select Action. The Action Properties window opens.
Create your action definition schema using the controls.
Publish the app to your tenant using the Publish button. The What's next window opens automatically.
Select Deploy now. A new Orchestrator page opens automatically.

Note: To check if the app was published, navigate to Action Center - Actions, Admin Settings > Tenant > Action Apps. The "BuildADeskNew" app should be displayed.
In UiPath Studio Web > Projects, expand the New project button, click Import project, and select the previously downloaded Studio Web project.

Note:
To access the action app in Orchestrator, you should use the CreateAppTask activity.
Open the project, then from the Apps* dropdown, select the "BuildADeskNew" app. The defined fields of the action app are unfolded.

Note:
If you modify the app in the meantime, click Refresh to retrieve the latest version.
Test the project. The workflow creates an Action form, then pauses while expecting for you input.
Switch to Action Center - Actions, Inbox > Unassigned, then click the "BuildITDesk" action. To interact with the action, assign it to yourself.
From Pending tab in Action Center, click Approve or Reject to complete the action. Once the action transitions to the Completed tab, the workflow in Studio resumes.
