I can only get basic alerts options in orchestrator. Please help me how to create custom alert mails for packages changes in orchestrator.

Hi @maha_sunder ,

To create custom alerts, you first need to monitor for package changes. Unfortunately, Orchestrator does not provide out-of-the-box options for custom alerts, so you’ll need to use a combination of Orchestrator’s API and UiPath workflows.

2. Create a UiPath Workflow to Check for Package Changes

  1. Get Package Information:
  • Use the HTTP Request activity to call Orchestrator’s API to get package information.
  • API Endpoint: /odata/Packages
  • Method: GET
  • Headers: Include necessary authentication headers (e.g., OAuth2 token).
  1. Store Package Information:
  • Extract and store package details (e.g., version numbers, upload dates) into a local file or database for comparison.
  1. Compare Package Versions:
  • Compare the currently stored package information with the latest information retrieved from Orchestrator.
  • If there is a change, trigger the alert.

3. Set Up Email Alerts

  1. Use Send SMTP Mail Message:
  • In the UiPath workflow, use the Send SMTP Mail Message activity to send an email alert when a change is detected.
  • Configure SMTP settings (SMTP server, port, sender email, recipient email, etc.).
  1. Email Content:
  • Include relevant details in the email body such as the package name, version, and the nature of the change.

4. Schedule the Workflow

  1. Create a Schedule:
  • Publish your UiPath workflow.
  • Use Orchestrator to schedule the workflow to run at regular intervals (e.g., hourly, daily) to check for package changes.

Sandy

Hi @maha_sunder

You can go to the orchestrator tenant and create a webhook for process version change notifications.

In url should I give orchestrator url. Sorry I was confused

6

So If you want to get alerts to you teams. you can create a channel and configure incoming webhooks. It will generate you a URL that can be used for this purpose.

Can you please share for mail

I created webhook in teams and tested with postman it’s working. When I created webhook in orchestrator when I create or delete any process webhook is not getting triggered. Can you please help me

Hey,
Great work! I had been testing the same earlier and I too did face the issue with webhook for create or delete of process.
It gave response when job is started. I’m digging into it. Maybe its a bug, I created a bug request for the same.

Actually UiPath can only trigger webhook as a json but teams cannot receive json format UiPath sends. So we need middleware since UiPath doesn’t have functionality to listen to webhooks. I used zapper for testing purposes as a middleware it’s working.

12

Actually you can trigger UiPath Job with Json input object and send an email.

13

But I have a question. Did the change in process trigger the webhook. I see starting a job is trigger the webhook. but updating the process isn’t trigger the webhook.

14

Webhook is triggering for process update also. I am using it for process update

Instead of Using Zaiper as it is 3rd party. You can create a HTTP Webhook (Preview) connection in Integration Service → Connection Builder → Connections → HTTP Webhook configure this and edit connection to add trigger. After adding trigger a webhook URL gets generated. Use that generated URL in webhooks in Orchestrator → Tenant.
