What's New

* **Integrated UiPath® Apps and Action Center - Now Generally Available** With the preview phase officially complete, the integration between Apps and Action Center is now GA. You can now effortlessly build your human task interface on Apps with increased agility and reduced complexity.

### You can create an action app in UiPath® Apps, and map app controls to action properties. You initiate the action app using the **Create app task** activity, and send it for completion in Action Center. This process establishes the end-to-end journey of an action.

### With the GA release, based on your feedback, it is now easier for you to design actions and action schemas inside the Apps interface, instead of uploading a JSON via Action Center.

  :::note
  ##### Actions and action apps, developed with schemas from the preview phase, no longer work, as the functionality has been remodelled.
  :::
For more information about creating an action app, see [Action apps.](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/action-definitions)
* A new **Configure Task Timer** activity. This activity allows you to set a timer for tasks that need to be completed by a certain time. Once the task's expiry time approaches, automated processes start notifying you. You no longer need to manually keep track. For more information about the new Configure Task Timer activity, check the official [documentation](https://docs.uipath.com/action-center/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/configure-task-timer).
