Consider a scenario where the job should start based an incoming email of a specific subject. This scenario is very common and also having a robot listen to emails constantly 24/7 is a lot of wastage in terms of bot usage as they just used for listening.
Rather if we can have a way to configure an email inbox in the orchestrator to kick start a job it’ll be really helpful and bring a lot of savings in bot usage.
Additionally to do some additional conditions based on the email, the email body, subject and other information can be passed a parameter to the job and can be handed in the process itself.
You might be able to do that now depending on Email Platform. Something like Exchange or Outlook could be enhanced with Script that could check incoming email and based on Subject call a REST API (Orchestrator) that could start a Job…?
we only have a robot and studio. we dont have an orchestrator. Currently, we running our robot in debug mode, in the studio. We use a vicious circle and our robot can listen to all mails 24/7. when a mail with a specific title is received, our robot running specific job.
Now… Uipath tells us… “use must buy orchestrator with robot”
And they tell us: orchestrator can’t listen mails. A robot must listen the mails and you must buy second robot. (of course, it’s very cheap)
Our scenairos are working on, one robot and studio… but they cant run on one robot+ studio + orchestrator!
they tell us… “u can use a script/api…”
sorry but, i think our company will finish the using uipath…
And i am very very surprized, because i was think everyone using a mail trigger.
