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.

Add an action app to an automation in Studio as follows:

1. Go to Studio.
2. Select New project. The automation trigger selection window opens.
3. Select the Manual automation trigger. The automation design page opens.
4. Select the Persistence activities package.
5. In the search field, type Create App Task. Select the task to add it to your workflow.
   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.

8. Go to Actions to access Action Center.
9. The My Actions tab shows your new automation. Select the checkbox next to it.
10. Select the additional options button, then select Assign to self.

The action app is ready to be used inside Action Center.
