Help

I am using Orchestrator API ( v2018.2 ) to invoke my workflow which I am able to do successfully by following steps below:

  1. Authenticate to get token
  2. Invoke workflow by providing token and ReleaseKey

Above steps are working fine.

In addition to above steps, I want to pass input arguments to workflow through Orchestrator API call ( https://platform.uipath.com/odata/Jobs/UiPath.Server.Configuration.OData.StartJobs ).

Can anyone guide me how to pass arguments in above mentioned scenario ?

Input Arguments are only available starting with 2018.3 version.

Hi @ovi,

Can you help with the passing of arguments when invoking workflow using Orchestrator API.

I mean, what are the exact steps that I should follow?

This is the reference js that I am using: Sharing-Repo/index.js at master · NikhilAshodariya/Sharing-Repo · GitHub

I am new to RPA.

Your help will mean a lot.

Thanks in advance…

Hi @kaushikn,

Assuming that your workflow has input arguments, here is an example of a body for a POST at /odata/Jobs/UiPath.Server.Configuration.OData.StartJobs with input arguments:

{  
   "startInfo":{  
      "ReleaseKey":"46bffa58-ead9-4e4e-9f16-81adce068e0b",
      "RobotIds":[  
         1
      ],
      "JobsCount":0,
      "Strategy":"Specific",
      "InputArguments":"{\"Array\":234,\"stringNew\":\"test string\",\"arrayStrings\":[\"first string\",\"second string\"]}"
   }
}

More info about this can be found here: About OData and References

I hope this helps,
Andrei
