Hi UiPath community,

I’m working on a workflow where I need an asset in Orchestrator, I want to prevent the hassle of manually creating this asset during deployment, so I want the process to automatically create text assets based on an instruction coming from an excel.Could anyone advise on:

Thank you

Hello,

You can use the Orchestrator Http Request Activity as seen the image below:

Lets say you want to create a text asset with asset name SpeedValue and value of 50 in the Shared folder of your orchestrator then you will do this:

orchestratorFolderName = Shared

payLoad = "{
  ""Name"": ""SpeedValue"",
  ""ValueType"": ""Text"",
  ""ValueScope"": ""Global"",
  ""StringValue"": ""50"",
  ""RobotValues"": []
}"

Method = Post

Relative Endpoint = "/odata/Assets"

The image shows a workflow in which variables "orchestratorFolderName" and "payLoad" are assigned values, followed by an HTTP request to create an asset in an Orchestrator folder using these variables. (Captioned by AI)
