UiPath Integration Service is a component of the UiPath Platform that allows users to automate third-party applications using both UI and API integration. It has the following primary functions1:
* Enables automation with a library of connectors: Connectors are pre-built API integrations that provide a consistent developer experience and simplify the integration process. Users can browse and import connectors from the Connector Catalog or the UiPath Marketplace, or create their own connectors using the Connector Builder (Preview).
* Manages connections easily with standardized authentication: Users can create and manage secure connections to various applications using standardized authentication methods, such as OAuth 2.0, Basic, API Key, etc. Users can also share connections with other users, groups, or automations within the UiPath Platform.
* Kicks off automations with server-side triggers or events: Users can trigger automations based on events from external applications, such as webhooks, email, or schedules. Users can also configure parameters and filters for the events to customize the automation logic.
* Provides curated activities and events: Users can access a set of curated activities and events that are specific to each connector and application. These activities and events can be used in UiPath Studio or UiPath StudioX to design and execute automations.
* Simplifies automation design: Users can leverage the UiPath Integration Service Designer to create and test integrations in a graphical interface. Users can also import common API formats, such as Swagger, YAML, or Postman collections, to generate connectors automatically.
