Create multiple queue triggers for same queue

I’m trying to create multiple queue-based triggers for one queue in Orchestrator. The goal was to have a time-based dispatcher every morning, with two queue-based triggers that were for different bots on different VMs. It appears that I can’t do this. Does anybody know of a workaround for this? Or does anybody have an alternative solution that solves my goal?

Hi @dsnell

You can only create one queue trigger for one queue but you can invoke multiple bots . In trigger settings, maximum number of pending and running jobs allowed to 2 so, it can trigger two bots for you. You can leave other settings default.

Hoping you are using modern folders

how do you know the specific machines to set for 2 jobs?

Hi @dsnell

There is no possibility of creating two or multiple job triggers with single queue. As a workaround, you can trigger one job using a queue trigger and then implement logic within that project to initiate another job of the same process using UiPath Orchestrator API calls.

Hope it helps!!

Hi @dsnell

UiPath does not allow multiple queue-based triggers for the same queue. As a workaround, use a time-based trigger to run a dispatcher that adds items with specific reference or tags, and create separate processes for each bot to filter and process items accordingly.

If you found helpful please mark as a solution. Thanks
Happy Automation with UiPath

@dsnell

For this scenario you need to create machine account mapping and assign the created mappingbs of two bots and machines to the same queue trigger
