I’m trying to integrate UiPath with Microsoft Power Automate, but in my company environment the HTTP Request / Manual Trigger flow is blocked by policy, so I cannot use the standard webhook URL.
My goal is simple: I want UiPath to trigger a Power Automate Desktop or Cloud flow and pass variables (e.g., Subject, Body).
Has anyone implemented this integration without using HTTP?
Do I understand correctly they blocked the activity?
If so how?
Microsoft and UiPath did recently announce some connectors for each other, but I havent looked into them deeply.
If they block HTTP requests in general you are screwed, you have to make a HTTP request somehow.
Depending on the way they implemented the security you could probably bypass it with a coded workflow, but I wouldnt advice deliberately circumventing a policy.
I’d challenge the idea behind blocking this also, its overly restrictive.
If you have Azure Devops pipelines with self hosted azure agent, you can use the trigger When Build Completes in Power Automate followed by all the logic in your PA flow.
In Az Devops pipeline you can use UiPath Start Job task. So when ever this pipeline completes, the connector between your azure devops instance and power automate instance will fire and you can run your Power Automate flow.
We can also start a UiPath robot on given schedule from Power Automate as well. In short you can achieve
Power Automate triggers UiPath
UiPath triggers Power automate
Power automate triggers UiPath and UiPath communicates back the output to Power Automate.
All this is dependent on your license in Power Automate. When build completes activity is a premium activity.
