# Run Agent

> :::important
This was a preview activity, available starting with version 25.2.2 of the System activity package. Starting with version 25.4.2, it has since been permanently replaced with the [Run Job](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/run-job) activity. You will still find "Run Agent" as a search result when searching for it, but it now adds the [Run Job](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/workflow/run-job) activity instead.

## Description

The **Run Agent** activity initiates the execution of a predefined process on a designated agent. The **Run Agent** can receive input arguments, it can be suspended, it provides outputs, and allows future interactions with its output.

:::important
* Agents must exist in your Orchestrator folder prior to configuring this activity.
* After updating an agent, make sure you [republish it](https://docs.uipath.com/agents/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/building-an-agent) and [redeploy the corresponding process to the Orchestrator folder](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/managing-processes).

## Windows, Cross-platform configuration

### Activity body properties:

* **Orchestrator folder path** : Select the Orchestrator folder where the agent you want to run is deployed. Only the folders you can access are displayed in the dropdown menu. If you do not select an option, your **Personal Workspace** is used.
* **Process name** : Select the process associated to the agent you want to run. The agent-based processes are displayed. If the agent you need is not listed, select **Manage processes** to be redirected to your folder in Orchestrator, where you can add the missing agent-based process.
* **Input** : Once you select an agent-based process, the **Input** field is displayed. Select it to open the **Data Mapping** window, where you can provide values for the process input arguments. To retrieve the latest list of process arguments, select **Refresh arguments** at the right side of the field.

:::important
For the best experience, make sure you are using the latest Studio version (2025.0.161). Studio versions previous to 2025.0.161 use the **Expression Editor** window. The following code snippet show you how to provide values to agent input arguments using VB.NET and C#: 
```
'VB.NET
New Email_Rewriter_Input() With {
.feedback = "sample feedback",
.originalEmail = "sample email content"
}
```

```
//C#
new Email_Rewriter_Input {
feedback = "sample feedback",
originalEmail = "sample email content"
}
```

### Properties panel:

* **Continue on error** : Specify if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (true, false). The default value is false. As a result, if the field is not configured and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to true, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
* **Output** : Displays the list of output arguments for the agent-based process, as they were defined during the agent creation. If an output argument is of type Object, you can access its sub-properties. For example, if you have an Object named "PaymentDetail" with properties such as "DueDate", "Amount", and "Approver", you can access them like this: PaymentDetail.Amount, PaymentDetail.DueDate, PaymentDetail.Approver.
