About Coded Action Apps

UiPath® Coded Action Apps extend Action Center by letting developers build custom React or Angular applications and use them as the user interface for Action Center tasks. The apps are built through direct code development in a developer's preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which gives developers full control over the task interface, its behavior, and its integration with UiPath and external systems.

Before Coded Action Apps, task interfaces in Action Center could be created only through the App Designer in Studio Web or UiPath App Studio. With Coded Action Apps, the task interface is defined in code, so its layout and logic are fully customizable. The app can also surface information from other UiPath services within the task, giving the person more context to complete it.

Deployment and hosting

Using a UiPath CLI, you can package your app code and deploy it to Orchestrator as a standard .nupkg package in a tenant feed of your choice. From there, it can be used to create a Coded Action App within one or more folders.

A Coded Action App is deployed as a UiPath App within Orchestrator folders. Once integrated in the platform, it follows the same governance principles as a standard UiPath App, which supports organized deployment within folders.

For more details, see Coded Apps Introduction.

Coded Action Apps capabilities

Fully customizable UI interface

The task interface is defined entirely in code, so you have full control over its layout, components, and behavior. You build the app in your preferred IDE using React or Angular, which lets you apply your own design patterns, reuse existing component libraries, and implement custom logic that the App Designer cannot express.

This makes it possible to tailor the interface to the specific needs of each task, present complex data clearly, and give people the context they need to act with confidence.

Integración de recursos de UiPath a través de SDK

The UiPath SDK provides developers with the logic to invoke and interact with other UiPath resources directly within their code, which enables integration with existing UiPath functionality. For example, developers can:

• Use UiPath assets to securely store and manage sensitive data.
• Access and manipulate data in UiPath storage buckets.
• Establish and manage connections to external systems and services.
• Embed conversational agents.
• Fetch data from Data Fabric entities.
• Trigger and interact with other UiPath processes to bring more context into the task.

For details about the UiPath resources you can use in your Coded Action App, see the SDK documentation.

Requisitos de red

Coded Action Apps have the same network requirements as coded apps. For details, see Coded Apps network requirements.

Limitaciones conocidas

• Coded Action Apps that use an external application to call other UiPath services using the UiPath TypeScript SDK fail to authenticate in Assistant (Desktop). Authentication works as expected only in Assistant (Web).
