How It Works

To enable the outbound automation between UiPath and Amazon Textract, the Amazon Textract activities establish an authenticated connection to your AWS resources via the Amazon Scope activity.

After your connection is established, you can add the other Amazon Textract activities to create new automation projects, or add them to existing projects.

How Does It Connect?

This is where we need your help.

To establish an authenticated connection, the Amazon Textract activities need authorization from the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service.

To enable AWS IAM authorization, you create or use an existing IAM user and generate access keys (Access Key Id and Secret Access Key). When creating your IAM user, you assign the policies and permissions that specify the resources your Robot can access (e.g., AmazonTextractFullAccess).

After creating your IAM user and assigning your policies, you enter the Access Key Id and Secret Access Key in the Amazon Scope activity. When you run your automation project, the keys are used to sign the API requests being made by each of the activities.
