Steps to implement passing AppsFile between UiPath Studio and UiPath Apps:

  1. Define the AppsFile Output Argument in UiPath Process:
  • In UiPath Studio, when designing your automation process, you can define an AppsFile output argument. This argument will store the file that will be passed back to the UiPath App.
  • To do this, you need to define a Variable of type UiPath.Apps.Models.AppsFile in the Arguments panel, and set this variable to be an Output argument.Steps:
  • In your workflow, create a variable of type AppsFile (UiPath.Apps.Models.AppsFile).
  • Add the Assign activity (or other activities that generate or obtain a file) to assign a file to this variable.
  • The file can be created, fetched, or processed in the workflow. For example, it could be a file created using Write Text File or Read File.
  1. Assign the File to the Output Argument:
  • After the file is generated or processed within your workflow, assign the AppsFile variable to the output argument.Example:

vb

Copy code

outputFile = new UiPath.Apps.Models.AppsFile() With {
    .FileName = "sampleFile.txt",
    .FileSize = 1024,
    .FileContent = "Your base64 encoded file content here"
}
  1. Publish the UiPath Process to Orchestrator:
  • Once the workflow is ready, publish the process to UiPath Orchestrator.
  1. Create an UiPath App with an Action to Trigger the Process:
  • In UiPath Apps, create a new app or modify an existing one.
  • Add an Action to the app that will trigger the UiPath process you just published.
  • In the action’s Arguments, include the AppsFile output argument.
  • After the process completes, you can use the file returned as an output for further processing within the app.
  1. Pass the AppsFile to UiPath Apps:
  • Once the process is executed, the AppsFile output will be returned to the UiPath App.
  • You can use this output in your app for tasks like displaying the file for download, processing it further, or any other desired actions.
