Input dialog in studio web

Is there any way to get the user input from user via input dialog in studio web ( just like how we have it in studio standalone?)

Maybe you can use Set Variable value activity at the top and user can enter their value

Hope this may help you

Thanks,

You can create an asset and load…instead of dailog as studio web does not have a dialog…

If a user interface is needed then you can create a small app with only one input and link the process to it

Hopw this helps

Hi @vkalra

Would you mind sharing your use case with us?

At which point in your process would you like to have user input?

hi @loginerror ,

I created the use case to integrate OpenAI Chat GPT but I cannot take the user input for the different prompts so it is limited functionality.

I see! This is unfortunately not yet possible.
For some context - even though Studio Web current focus is on unattended scenarios, we are gathering all the feedback around use cases involving user interaction and we are looking into making it happen.

However, if I may ask an additional question. How would you like to ideally be able to interact with your process?

Thus, for example - would you see it more like an actual chatbot-like interaction with the process, or would it be more similar to how the UiPath Assistant currently allows you to pass an input argument before running the process with said parameter?

hi @loginerror , for this case it can be a chatbot like interaction as the user may have multiple interactions. However, having said this, for some other processes having the inputs via UiPath Assistant will make sense wherein the process needs an initial input from the user.

Then the good news is that for the UiPath Assistant scenario, it is already possible. You can publish a process from Studio Web and said process will end up published to your personal workspace, and by extension, it will be instantly visible in your UiPath Assistant.

Would you mind sharing what processes would you like to automate this way? (it helps us see what we can improve).

And as to the second question:

Are the prompts you would like to make more conversational in nature? If so, what types of scenarios do you foresee such functionality being most helpful with?

Hi @loginerror , Thanks for your response. I understand that the process will be available on my UiPath assistant , but will I also be able to take input form the user? As I mentioned I am using this for the Chat GPT interaction process and we may have similar requirement for getting user input for processing by Chat GPT.
For the second point, yes the prompts will be conversational in nature. I might ask , let me know the pending stocks in my inventory. How many of them are of type X or Y , how soon they can be delivered etc.

Does that mean you want to create more of an interactive App experience where the user can continuously dialog with the app?

yeah @mircea
