Quickstart

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to show you how to use the UiPath Add-in for Mulesoft by performing a Start Job operation.

Start Job

To start a job, you must provide at least the following request body input parameters:

Parameter	Description
ReleaseKey	The ID you get by performing Get Releases. The Orchestrator needs this key to run a specific version of a process.
Strategy	For modern folders we recommend making use of `ModernJobsCount`.
JobsCount	How often the job is executed.
InputArguments	If your job has input parameters, they can be sent as a `JSON` string in the `InputArguments` field. If it does not have input parameters, this field is ignored.

Note: You need the Folder ID to perform the Get Releases operation. This ID is also required in the Start Job operation. To get Folder Id you need to perform the Get Folders operation.

Follow these steps to perform the operation:

In Anypoint Studio, click File, go to New and select Mule Project. Name the project and click Finish.
In the Search field, type HTTP and drag the HTTP Listener to the canvas.
Click the HTTP Listener, then click the green plus sign to the right of Connector Configuration. On the next screen, add the Host and Port, then click OK.
Provide the Path to HTTP Listener with the URI parameter. Example: /job/start}.
In the Responses tab, set the variable http.status with the default 200, as indicated in the image below:
