About Connections

Note:

Starting with xx November, 2025, and as announced in the Release Notes, Integration Service connections must be created in Orchestrator.

The creation process remains identical when initiated directly from Integration Service, ensuring a consistent experience for all users.

A connection is a reusable, governed authorization to an external application, created through a specific Connector.

It securely stores the required identity or credentials, such as OAuth tokens or API keys, and manages their lifecycle.

Connections are used across the UiPath platform, including in workflows, triggers, activities, and agents, to call that application’s APIs.

The following table describes the fields available on the Connections tab:

Table 1. Connections tab
