Is it possible to configure an unattended robot as a standalone demon?

Hi, Forum

I’m looking for a way to launch an always-on standalone (meaning not connected to OC) robot that listens to a port waiting for an incoming message. Is it possible to configure the robot such a way similar to a demon?

For example, I’m thinking of a use case where an external entity (e.g, chatbot or web service) sends to the robot HTTP or SOAP messages and the robot returns the corresponding response as a result of handling the request.

Your advice would be much appreciated.

Regards

Hi @hongjoo.choi -

UiPath Robot as a Windows Service.

Hi @hongjoo.choi

How about API TRIGGER ?

Hi,

I think UiPath Robot service doesn’t listen any network port. As we can launch automation process via command line using UiRobot.exe, any other demon which listens some network port and calls UiRobot.exe is necessary, for example.

I believe you cannot do it…as of 22.4 the offline license has been removed I feel…and without connecting to orch it migh tnot be possible…

Also what is the problem in connecting your chatbot or another application via orchestrator api which will help in starting a job on any machine

Cheers
