Adding an action app to an automation

• You should already have an action app and deployed it to Orchestrator. If not, refer to Adding an action to your app.

• To see the list of action apps in UiPath^® Studio, you must be the Co-author for the desired app.

2. Select New project. The automation trigger selection window opens.
3. Select the Manual automation trigger. The automation design page opens.

   Note: Using Create App Task, you can pass default values to the action properties.
6. In the Title field, give the task a title.
7. Select an action app you deployed to Orchestrator.
   Note:

   • If your app version changed recently, select the extra options button in the Apps field, and select Refresh to use the most recent version of your app.

   • For an app to be available to the Create App Task activity, it must be an action app and it must be deployed to Orchestrator.

   • The automation should run from the same folder in which the action app was deployed. You can specify the folder name in Create App Task.
