Starting a UIPath Job via Google Appscript

[Philip1]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to start a UIPath-Job in the orchestrator via a Google Appscript.

I set up my unattended Robot and it is working fine, if I start the job manually in the orchestrator or via my assistant .
But when I try to start it with a script, it fails. Actually I am trying to do what is described in the following documentation in paragraph 6.2 and 6.3:

Integration with UiPath Robotic Process Automation - Knowledge Base for DX 7 - Joget | COMMUNITY (and later on of course 6.4 )

Here is my code:

function authenticateForAT () {
var data1 = {
‘grant_type’: ‘refresh-token’,
‘client_id’: ‘$ClientID’,
‘refresh_token’: ‘$UserKey’,
};
var header1 = {
‘method’: ‘post’,
‘contentType’: ‘application/json’,
‘payload’: JSON.stringify(data1)
};
var response1 = UrlFetchApp.fetch(“https://account.uipath.com/oauth/token”, header1);
var messageContent1 = response1.getContentText();
var result1 = JSON.parse(messageContent1);
var access_token = result1[‘access_token’];
processReleaseKey(access_token);

function processReleaseKey(access_token){
var header2 = {
‘method’: ‘get’,
‘Accept’: ‘application/json’,
‘Authorization’: 'Bearer ’ + access_token
};
var response2 = UrlFetchApp.fetch(“UiPath”", header2);
var messageContent2 = response2.getContentText();
var result2 = JSON.parse(messageContent2);
}

I get the access token without a problem. The bizarre part is the “fetch” method in function processReleaseKey(). I get this message from logging “response2”:
{“message”:“You are not authenticated!”,“errorCode”:0,“result”:null,“targetUrl”:null,“success”:false,“error”:{“code”:0,“message”:“You are not authenticated!”,“details”:“You should be authenticated (sign in) in order to perform this operation.”,“validationErrors”:null},“unAuthorizedRequest”:true,“__abp”:true}

Even more bizarre is that I can perform these tasks (and even start the job like in 6.4 of the docu) without any problems in Postman or in the cmd.

I hope you guys can help me.

Hi @Philip1,

That is cool, using google scripts you may we be on your way to trigger robots from spreadsheets Google script is fun.

I cant see your processReleaseKey function calling having the correct header (header2)
X-UIPATH-OrganizationUnitId

See more here for modern folders and release key: UiPath Connector Guide

That is weird that you can run the same flow in Postman and CMD

Thank you for your quick response! Yeah, that is my intention to trigger it from a spreadsheet .
I tried adding X-UIPATH-OrganisationUnitID and/or X-UIPATH-TenantName to header2, unfortunately without success…

[Philip1]

I solved the problem. Actually header2 was just badly structured:
var header2 = {
‘method’: ‘get’,
headers: {
accept: ‘application/json’,
contentType: ‘application/json;odata.metadata=minimal;odata.streaming=true’,
authorization: 'Bearer ’ + accessToken
}
};
If it looks like this, it works…

Hi @Philip1,

Time to design some fancy buttons to press
