Embed a UiPath App

UiPath Apps "is a cloud-based low-code application development platform that enables you to build and share enterprise-grade custom applications that deliver engaging user experiences".

With PixieBrix, you can embed UiPath Apps into any webpage, including 3rd-party pages, and automatically pass information from the page to the app

For example, you could embed a UiPath app in the Salesforce Service Console, passing in the case number and any other case information:

Available data is read from the page and passed to the UiPath App (ID, Name, and Priority were found and passed)

Prepare your UiPath App for Embedding

Go to the UiPath App and publish the app if it has not been published already.

Copy the production link from the settings section of the UiPath app

Embedding the UiPath App via Sidebar

Add App Variables to UiPath Apps

Add an App Variable to the UiPath App for each data variable you want to pass from PixieBrix to UiPath. For further walkthrough of adding App Variables, watch this explanation video or read UiPath's documentation.

To use the provided property in your application, add a Value Binding to the field. Alternatively/additionally, you can configure a "Value Changed" rule for the Textbox. See the UiPath Apps documentation for more details
