Trigger a process from API

Hello Forum here Luis Fernando Pazos, Hope you´re having a great day.

I´ve started working on a new project that involves getting inputs from an API call. The team wants the process to start automatically once the inputs are available on the API, so I’ve made some research to see what is the best way to tackle this.
The option that cut my eye the most is the Integration Service > Build Custom Connector feature. It looks pretty attractive but I see is still in preview so I was wondering if a can get some feedback from someone in the community who has already some experience on it.

I also got to see a little bit of Swagger and Its API capabilities in Orchestrator, so is this a good option? Can I start a Job through Swagger? How would the authentication work?

For now, I’m just doing research on the matter, watching some Youtube videos of past webinars, getting together some documentation, etc… so hopefully near this week, I can start developing some samples on one of those options.

Thank you very much for your attention and hopefully I can get feedback soon.

Regards
Luis Fernando; First Venezuelan RPA Developer.

Integration services are to integrate external api with UiPath…

For triggering job you need to go with the orchestrator api…which you saw on swagger file…and yes you can trigger jobs with it

You need to create an external application…which is available in admin panel…once you create it…you will get client id and secret which can be used for authetication …its follows oauth 2.0

You can get the api access details as well from admin pge only

Hope this helps

Cheers
