It provides a visual and user-friendly interface for designing, deploying, and managing software robots that mimic human interactions with digital systems, increasing efficiency and productivity in various business processes. Refer to our website for [the list of metrics and attributes available in Dataddo](https://www.dataddo.com/connector/ui_path). Refer to UiPaths's official documentation to see [all available endpoints from the UiPath API](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/standalone/2022.10/api-guide/read-me). ## Authorize Connection to UiPath ### In UiPath To authorize your UiPath account, you will need your **account logical name**, **tenant name**, **client ID**, and [**client secret**](/docs/uipath#client-secret). Note that authenticating the **Cloud Orchestrator** using the **Orchestrator API** is different from the **On Premise Orchestrator**. 1. In your UiPath cloud account, navigate to the **Services** page. 2. Click on the three dots next to a service and select **API Access** which will display the following information: 1. **User Key**: Allows generating **unique login keys** for APIs or 3rd party applications to access your UiPath account (this was previously known as **refresh token**). 2. **Account Logical Name**: Your unique site URL (e.g. `platform.uipath.com/yoursiteURL`). 3. **Tenant Logical Name**: May differ from **tenant's name**. For more information on tenants, refer to [UiPath's official documentation](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-cloud/automation-cloud/latest/admin-guide/managing-tenants). 4. **Client ID**: Specific to the **Orchestrator application**, it's the same for all users and tenants on one platform. 3. Copy these values. Access token is valid for 24 hours Once the token expires, you will need to regenerate it otherwise you may get a `401: Unauthorized` error. #### Generate Client Secret 1. On the **Tenants** page, navigate to the **Machines** tab. 2. **Create** a machine template or a standard machine. 3. Click on **Provision** to create the machine object. 4. A confirmation client with machine details will be displayed. 5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Client secret can be displayed only once, if you need to reuse it, store it in a safe location. If you lose your client secret, you can generate a new one. 1. Locate your machine settings, click on **More Actions**, and select **Edit Machine** 2. In the **Client Secrets** section, click on **Add new**. ### In Dataddo 1. On the **Authorizers** page, click on [Authorize New Service](https://app.dataddo.com/service/new) and select UiPath. 2. Fill in the following fields: 1. **Account Logical Name**: Your unique site URL (e.g. `platform.uipath.com/yoursiteURL`). 2. **Tenant Name**: Your UiPath tenant name, make sure you aren't using **Tenant Logical Name** if they differ. 3. **Client ID**: Your UiPath client ID. 4. **Client Secret**: Secret to your UiPath client ID. 3. Rename your ***authorizer*** for easier identification and click on **Save**. ## How to Create an UiPath Data Source 1. On the **Sources** page, click on the [**Create Source**](https://app.dataddo.com/sources/new) button. 2. Select the connector from the list and name your ***data source***. 3. On the **Dataset** step, select your **dataset**. **DATADDO TIP** If you're unsure which dataset to select, use the search bar to look for datasets with the desired attributes or metrics. 4. On the **Account** step select your ***authorizer*** from the drop-down menu. **Didn't find your authorizer?** Click on **Add new Account** at the bottom of the drop-down and follow the on-screen prompts. You can also go to the **Authorizers** tab and click on [**Add New Service**](https://app.dataddo.com/service/new). 5. On the **Attributes and Metrics** step, select the **metrics and attributes** you want to extract. ![Create a source using a custom-schema connector.](https://cdn.document360.io/084ed225-3f99-4644-a2da-39ca0cd5ef45/Images/Documentation/Create%20Source%20-%20Custom-Schema%20Connector.png) 6. On the **Metadata** step, select which [**metadata fields**](/docs/metadata-inclusion) such as extraction time to add to your data. 7. On the **Snapshot** step: 1. Configure your [**sync frequency**](/docs/extraction#extraction-frequency) or click **Show advanced settings** to set the exact synchronization time. **DATADDO TIP** To **load historical data**, refer to the [**Data Backfilling**](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/data-backfilling) article. 2. [Optional] Enable the **Allow Empty Data Extractions** toggle to allow the extraction when no data is available. 8. In the top-right corner, click **Test Data** button to preview extracted data. **Adjust the date range** for specific time frame. 9. Click on **Save** and **congratulations, your new data source is ready!** --- ## Troubleshooting ### Data Preview Unavailable No data preview when you click on **Test Data** might be caused by an issue with your ***source*** configuration. The most common causes are: - **Date range**: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward via [manual data load](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/data-backfilling). - **Insufficient permissions**: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions. ## Related Articles Now that you have successfully created a ***data source***, see how you can connect your data to a dashboarding app or a data storage. **Sending Data to Dashboarding Apps** - [Simple Data Integration to Dashboards](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/simple-data-integration-to-dashboards) - [Data Backfilling to Dashboarding Apps](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/data-backfilling-to-dashboarding-apps) **Sending Data to Data Storages** - [Batch Ingestion to Data Warehouses](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/ingestion-to-data-warehouses) - [Data Backfilling to Storages](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/data-backfilling-to-storages) **Other Resources** - [Troubleshooting](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/troubleshooting) - [Extraction Logs](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/extraction-logs) - [Data Duplication](https://docs.dataddo.com/docs/data-duplication) Authorizers act as credentials for external services (e.g. Facebook or Google). To enable Dataddo to access and retrieve your data, you need to grant access to accounts that possess admin-level permissions or higher within these services.
