Description
This is the second step of the listing submission process. Please make sure to read the best practices described below before filling in the Upload form fields.
(50 characters max.)
This is one of the most important listing elements. It influences your reach on the Marketplace search results and represents the initial filter for Marketplace Customers when deciding if the listing has the potential to fit their needs. Please check the below best practices to guide you when picking one:

This section allows for the uploading of a personalized image to be displayed on the listing's card, which should be reflective of the main concept of the listing and incorporate simplistic symbols. Additionally, it provides the option to include a company logo. If you do not include a listing image, the default image will be applied.
Image dimensions: 100X100
Don’t use images that you do not own the rights for.
Commence with version 1.0.0 when submitting the first version of your listing.
-
In the event you will create significant alterations to its functionalities, upon submitting a new version, the updated version number would be designated as 2.0.0.
-
If rectifying functionality-related issues (e.g. bug fixes), upon submitting a new version, the new version number will begin at 1.0.1.
-
However, if merely augmenting the text content (such as supplementing a demo video, adding a documentation guide, additional tags etc.), the respective version number should remain unaltered.
In this section please provide comprehensive information regarding the initial release and any subsequent versions.
If there are two or more versions, it is essential to clearly outline the unique features and modifications incorporated in each version for the benefit of end-users.
(20 characters per tag max.)
Specify pertinent tags that will enhance the discoverability of your listing by end-users. Tags refer to terms associated with your listing that aid in searching for listings with comparable tags.
As a recommendation, it is advisable to divide tags into single words instead of using complete phrases, to streamline the search process.
For instance, if your listing is designed to operate with GSuite, potential tags may include docs, drive, email, Gmail, and GSuite.
If the tags are not provided by you during the submission, our team will add them based on the overall submitted information. However, we strongly believe it’s much more helpful when you add these yourself.
Summarize your listing in a short phrase that will best explain what it is about.

Select the application(s) that your automation is developed for and works with. E.g. Excel, SAP, Outlook.
If the necessary application name is not on the list, type its name, press enter and we'll add it for you.
(5000 characters max.)
Describe your listing and let people know what it contains and how they can use it.
This section needs to be well structured while at the same time it should keep the audience engaged enough to read it through.
For a listing to be published on UiPath Marketplace, you must include in the listing's Description all details about the UiPath products that are used in the automation or that are compatible with your automation, and the role that they play.
Partners may not include the names of third parties or third parties' apps or other third party products in the text of their listing or product description on the UiPath Marketplace without express authorization from the third party.
To provide the best understanding of what a good description is, all examples below are taken from real Marketplace listings. Names of listing are omitted.
Briefly state what your listing is all about.
-
Example 1

The package consists of 5 activities: [then list and describe the activities that the package contains].

Example 2
This simple template can be used as a starting point for automating attended processes.
The main advantages of using this template are the following: [then the author lists the advantages]
How to use it: [then authors explains step-by-step how to use the listing]
-
Example 3

Mention who is the intended target audience for the listing
-

Mention the listing capabilities and features as solutions.
-

Now that we got the text structure covered, let’s go through some of the easiest but very impactful copywriting tips and tricks you can follow:
Tip |
Description |
Say more with less |
|
Make the text easy to read |
|
Engage with your audience |
|
To make this part less complicated, we recommend you use two (free) writing apps: Grammarly and Hemingway App. They come in handy when you are spell-checking or rephrasing the text and can save you some time.
(500 characters max.)
Let Marketplace Customers know what value they will get from using your listing.
Respond to these questions:
-
What does your project try to solve?
-
How would someone benefit from using this automation?
-
How many hours will Marketplace Customers save by using your automation?
If the listing is paid, try to be even more specific and provide strong and relevant data.
TIP: If available, please share stats relevant to potential customers. E.g. |
X hours/days/months saved |
X processes automated |
X money saved per month/year/department |
X% ROI increase |
X% cost reduction, etc. |
Please attach relevant screenshots to be displayed on your listing to help your audience navigate easier and understand what it is that you are offering.

Below we also gathered some best practices:
DOs |
DON’Ts |
|
|
Please add relevant presentation / demo videos to your listing. Make sure they are in YouTube or Vimeo format. Those assets can influence the perception of the audience and increase the trustworthiness of the content even before downloading it.
In order to create high-value video content with few resources, we recommend you use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) as a video recording tool and Descript for creating subtitles (where applicable).
