Running the agent

Using agents as activities means you can incorporate them into workflows to handle parts of larger deterministic processes, have multiple agents act in series, and start agent execution based on triggers.

To incorporate your agent into a workflow, follow these steps:

1. Publish your agent to Orchestrator.
2. In Studio, use the Run Job activity to integrate your agent into a workflow.

3. Whenever you make changes to your agent, republish the updated agent to Orchestrator and upgrade the corresponding process in Orchestrator.

   The Run Job activity always executes the version of the agent currently configured in Orchestrator. This ensures that your workflow consistently uses the most up-to-date version of your agent.

Refer to the System activities guide to learn how to configure and use the Run Job activity in your Studio workflows.

Note: Starting with UiPath.System.Activities version 25.4.2, the execution of agents and other Orchestrator jobs has been consolidated and improved under the Run Job activity. Existing workflows using the Run Agent activity continue to function without changes, ensuring a smooth transition. When adding new agent-running functionality to your workflows, the system automatically suggests and implements the Run Job activity, even if you search for Run Agent.
