Hi All,

I am trying to trigger the UiPath Orchestrator jobs by an external application . For example , I have Salesforce application . When ever there is a new sku added in Salesforce it should trigger my Orchestrator jobs via API . How can I achieve this ,?

Any new sku added in Salesforce should trigger my UiPath jobs in Orchestrator via REST API

Start job api is what you need to use…before that create an external application and save client id and secret to hit the authentication url and get bearer token

send post call to https://cloud.uipath.com/identity_/connect/token

Do I need to give the bearer token to Salesforce team . Because the trigger should be from Salesforce whenever new SKu is added in Salesforce .

@dutta.marina

then you should give client id and secret to them
token will expire
they would need client id and all to retreive again

cheers

If I want to test in Postman whether the API call is working or not , then once the secret token is generated what is the next step?

the scope should be same as what scope you selected in your external application

and url will be as is for auth…for relative end point it would differ
