            Invoke a MuleSoft RPA Process in a Flow

            Invoke a MuleSoft RPA Process in a Flow

            After you make a MuleSoft RPA process available to flows, you can start and check the status of the process from a flow.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Lightning Experience
            View supported editions.
            Note
            Note To use Mulesoft RPA with Flow Builder, you must have a MuleSoft Automation subscription and a MuleSoft RPA user with all necessary permissions. See Anypoint Access Management RPA Permissions. 

            You add invocable actions for the startProcess and getProcessExecutionStatus operations that you selected when you registered the RPA process as an external service.

            1. In Flow Builder, create a flow.
            2. To store the input variables for the RPA process that you want to invoke, create a resource with these values.
              Field Value
              Resource Type Variable
              Data Type Apex-Defined
              Apex Class

              ExternalService_External_Service_Name_ProcessExecutionWithExecutionId

              External_Service_Name is the name that you provided when you registered the MuleSoft RPA API as an external service.
              New Resource dialog box
            3. Assign values to the input variables.
              1. On the Flow Builder canvas, add an assignment node.
              2. Assign values to the variable that you created in the previous step.
                A variable’s input values differ for each RPA process. In this example, the process requires an order number and a tracking number.

                Every input requires a value, even if the value is an empty string. If you don’t specify a value for each input, the RPA process invocation generates an error.

                Each RPA process invocation requires a unique executionId. If your flow starts only one RPA process, you can use the $Flow.InterviewGuid global variable, which is the flow interview ID.

                Callbacks for MuleSoft RPA processes aren’t supported in flows. Specify the $GlobalConstant.EmptyString global variable as the value of the callbackUri variable.

            4. Add an action for the startProcess operation to the flow.
              1. On the Flow Builder canvas, add an action node.
              2. In the Action field, type startProcess, and select the startProcess action.
              3. Configure the action, setting the body to the resource that you created to store the input values.
                New Action dialog box for startProcess operation
              4. Click Done.
            5. Add an action for the getProcessExecutionStatus operation to the flow.
              1. On the Flow Builder canvas, add an action node.
              2. In the Action field, type getProcessExecutionStatus operation, and select the getProcessExecutionStatus action.
              3. Configure the action, setting the executionId to the value of the executionID parameter that you specified for starting the MuleSoft RPA process.
                New action dialog box for getProcessExecutionStatus dialog box
              4. Click Done.
            6. Save and run your flow.

              The output of the startProcess action indicates whether the process started successfully.

              The output of the getProcessExecutionStatus action indicates the status of the RPA process.

            Example
            Example

            This simple screen flow invokes a MuleSoft RPA process called Get Tracking Info. It includes an Assignment node for input variables and actions that start and check the status of the process.
