Agentic AI x Studio: How to provide a file to an unattended process

Dear All,

What I want to do?
I want to use an Agent, which splits a file in separate files and does 1-2 follow-up actions.
In Agent Builder I have used the input variable type “File” and the tool “File_analyzer_categorization” and it worked.

My problem:
Now, I have published my agent to orchestrator and wanted to implement it in a process in studio via “RunJob”, where I can use the In- and Out arguments. But I have no option to pass on a file attachmentID to the agent.

What does not work:
I cannot only parse the text itself, since I really need the file itself.
Can I use Excel file as input to an agent - Agentic Automation - UiPath Community Forum

I have tried to use the storage bucket. But I was not able to connect the storage bucket to the agent. And when using a tool to pass on the storage file to the agent, I face the same issue as before.

Another idea would be to use an UiPath App to pass on the file. This would work. But how do I connect both? In the App I see no possibility. If possible, I do not want to use Maestro, yet.

If absolute necessary my fallback would be UiPath Assistant, but if possible I would prefer not to use it.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you!

@Jon_Smith great! Many thanks! I am looking forward to it.

I’ve posted as a tutorial. Its pending a moderator review

There ya go!

Thank you!

I was currently using the LTS version of studio. I will update my studio and try it out tomorrow.

Should still be possible in the LTS I think, but you need to make a dictionary with the iResource in it. But note I have not fully tested that since its a PITA to change Studio versions.

I have updated my studio and packages to the newest LTS version available (2024.10.16) and it is not yet available.

But it is not a problem. I do not want to build a workaround, if there is a function on the horizon. Therefore, I will wait until the function is available.

Fair enough, it is only fully implemented in the STS version right now, and I am not sure when the next minor update for the current LTS will come out that contains it. Might be any week now as I think they are now trying to do one LTS release a year around October.

If you do end up wanting to make it work with a Dictionary, instead of data mapping, let me know.
