Workflow Activities

Last updated Oct 31, 2025

Release notes

v1.1.0

Release date: October 20, 2025

New terminology in Long Running Workflows in Studio Desktop

We’ve updated terminology in Long Running Workflows in Studio Desktop to make it clearer and more consistent with RPA concepts.

BPMN terms such as Service Task, Message Intermediate Catch Event, or Error End Event have been renamed to match RPA terminology. There’s no impact on existing workflows — everything works as before, and you can still search for activities using BPMN terms. Importing a BPMN file should work just like before.

v1.0.3

Release date: May 5, 2025

A new activity joins the pack! With Detached Error Handler, you can define global, reusable error recovery steps for your entire workflow, instead of handling errors task by task. Multiple Detached Error Handlers can be added for different exceptions.

v1.0.1

Release date: February 26, 2025

The new Flowchart Builder activity package is here to help you model, optimize, and standardize process flows in your organization. With a collection of most used BPMN elements, such as Decision, Task, or Boundary Events, our activities offer integration with UiPath existing activities to create the blue-print of your long running workflows. Further, your business process design brings visibility into your task flows, highlighting bottlenecks or delays, for the greater scope of an optimal and efficient workflow.

The activity package comes bundled in the Long Running Automation template from UiPath Studio. To access the template and the Flowchart Builder experience, make sure you're using Studio version 2024.10+.
