UiPath Cloud Integration

Connect your UiPath Automation Cloud instance to RPA Watch. Two authentication methods are supported: External Application (recommended) and User Key.

Prerequisites

- A UiPath Automation Cloud account

- Organization name and tenant name from your UiPath instance

- An External Application or User Key configured in UiPath

- Account Admin or Tenant Admin role in RPA Watch

Authentication Methods

External Application

External Applications use the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. This is the recommended method for production use.

1. In UiPath Automation Cloud, go to Admin → External Applications

2. Click Add Application

3. Set the application type to Confidential

4. Add the required scopes:

- OR.Folders.Read — Read folder structure

- OR.Execution.Read — Read job executions

- OR.Robots.Read — Read robot information

- OR.Jobs.Read — Read job details

- OR.Monitoring — Monitor processes

5. Note the App ID (Client ID) and App Secret (Client Secret)

Configuration in RPA Watch

1. Navigate to Account Settings from the sidebar

2. Select UiPath as your RPA tool

3. Fill in the configuration:

4. Click Save

5. Click Test Connection to verify

> Note: Fill in either Client Secret (External App) or User Key — not both. RPA Watch detects the method automatically.

Folder Selection

UiPath organizes processes into folders (Modern Folders). By default, RPA Watch syncs data from all accessible folders.

To limit the sync to specific folders:

1. In the configuration, enter comma-separated Folder IDs

2. You can find folder IDs by clicking Fetch Folders in the account settings

If no folder IDs are specified, all folders the application has access to will be synced.

What Gets Synced

Processes (Releases)

RPA Watch syncs both Releases (classic folders) and Processes (modern folders):

- Process/release name, key, and version

- Deduplication across folders (same process in multiple folders appears once)

- Processes removed from UiPath are soft-deleted

Robots

- All robots and machines from UiPath

- Robot name, type (Attended/Unattended), machine name, and description

- Robots are tagged with rpa_tool: uipath for identification

Jobs

UiPath jobs are mapped to Jobs in RPA Watch:

Each synced job includes:

- Start and end timestamps with calculated duration

- Robot name and reference

- Release/process reference (linked to process)

- Job info field mapped to result summary

Schedules

- Schedule name, cron expression, and timezone

- Active/enabled status

- Linked release reference

Token Management

RPA Watch handles OAuth tokens automatically:

- Tokens are refreshed 5 minutes before expiry

- For External Apps: uses client_credentials grant

- For User Key: uses refresh_token grant

- No manual token management required

Running and Stopping Jobs

From the RPA Watch UI, you can:

- Start a job for a specific process/release

- Stop a running job to cancel execution
