API-Workflow

Invokes a UiPath Studio Web API workflow and returns its output.

When to use API Workflow vs HTTP Request

Use the API Workflow node when the logic you need to call is built in Studio Web and published as an API workflow — for example, structured data processing or multi-step integrations authored by your team. Use the HTTP Request node when you are calling any external Representational State Transfer (REST) endpoint outside the UiPath Platform.

Konfiguration

Feld	Erforderlich	Beschreibung
API-Workflow	Ja	The Studio Web API workflow to invoke. Select from the list of published API workflows in your organization.
Eingabe	Nein	Key-value pairs mapped to the API workflow's input parameters. Supports variable references.
Zeitüberschreitung	Nein	Maximum time to wait for the workflow to complete.

Output variables

Variable	Beschreibung
output	The response returned by the API workflow, according to its output schema.
error	Error details when the call fails. Use it with error handling to branch on failures.

Beispiele

Reference the API workflow's output downstream with an expression:

$vars.apiWorkflow1.output

To use a single field from the output, append the field name defined by the API workflow's output schema — for example, $vars.apiWorkflow1.output.<field>.
