IA-Connect is a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform which adds RPA functionality from Power Automate Cloud Flows to on-premises virtual machines or over Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDS) connections. The IA-Connect Connectors provide over 800 actions, allowing you to automate every type of on-premise application directly from a Power Automate Cloud Flow. All IA-Connect actions are available directly from your Power Automate Cloud Flow providing easy integration between Cloud based and on-premises applications, the ability to leverage existing Power Automate conditions, loops, dynamic content, expressions and exception handling in your RPA processes. Utilising the IA-Connect Connectors also provides full execution history and auditability from the Flow run history whilst also removing the need to have a separate application/console/studio for developing your RPA processes.

Prerequisites

To use any of the IA-Connect Connectors, you must install the IA-Connect software. This is free to test for 30 days, following which you will require an IA-Connect license.

The IA-Connect software consists of two main components:

  • The IA-Connect Orchestrator, which is an Azure WebApp which you would host in your own Azure tenant. This handles the routing and security of RPA Flows to one or more on-premises or cloud-based virtual machines.

  • The IA-Connect Agent and Director, which is installed onto the virtual machines where the software you wish to automate is accessible. Additionally, the IA-Connect Agent can run inside a Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) session, where the RPA commands are passed down a virtual channel into the remote session for execution. The IA-Connect Agent can be run from a network share and does not require installation.

Available IA-Connect Connectors

The available IA-Connect Connectors are:

  • IA-Connect Dynamic Code
  • IA-Connect Java
  • IA-Connect JML
  • IA-Connect Mainframe
  • IA-Connect Microsoft Office
  • IA-Connect SAP GUI
  • IA-Connect Session
  • IA-Connect UI

Actions

Add a note to an Orchestrator automation task

Adds a note to a selected Orchestrator automation task. This note will be passed to the source system linked with this automation task (for example, ServiceNow), and is most commonly used to add details into a ticket. If the Orchestrator automation task is not linked to a source, an exception will be raised.

Add file to ZIP

ZIPs a file (stores the file into a compression archive).

Add folder to ZIP

ZIPs files in a folder into a ZIP file (stores the files into a compression archive).

Add new Orchestrator automation task

Add a new Orchestrator automation task into a queue that can be monitored from a Flow. Tasks can either be ready to run immediately or be deferred to run at a later time.

Add new Orchestrator deferred task

Add a new Orchestrator deferred task into a queue that can be monitored from a Flow. The task will be deferred to a specified time in the future. Use this action to temporarily suspend a task for a specified amount of time (for example if you are waiting for something).

Add permission to file

Adds a permission to a file on the computer where the IA-Connect Agent is running.

Add permission to folder

Adds a permission to a folder on the computer where the IA-Connect Agent is running.

Allocate worker from Orchestrator

Allocates a worker from the IA-Connect Orchestrator. You can request a worker by tag or worker name (or neither, or both), allowing you to more precisely choose which worker you require. Once a worker is allocated, it is assigned to your flow and will be reported as performing work. Note that the Orchestrator will still consider 'Supported Flow environment Ids', 'Supported Flow names' and 'Unsupported Flow names' when performing allocation. When multiple workers match the search, normal load balancing rules will apply.

Assign an Orchestrator automation task

Assigns a selected Orchestrator automation task to a specified user or group. This assignment will be passed to the source system linked with this automation task (for example, ServiceNow), and is most commonly used to pass a ticket to a different person or group of people, for additional processing. If the Orchestrator automation task is not linked to a source, an exception will be raised.

Attach to IA-Connect session by index

Attaches to the specified IA-Connect Director session by index (e.g. attach to first Citrix ICA session). This is the session into which commands to an IA-Connect Agent are sent.

Attach to IA-Connect session by name

Attaches to the specified IA-Connect Director session by name. This is the session into which commands to an IA-Connect Agent are sent.

Attach to most recent IA-Connect session

Attaches to the IA-Connect Director session which most recently connected (optionally of a specified type). This is the session into which commands to an IA-Connect Agent are sent.

Attach to tier 1 IA-Connect session

Close IA-Connect Agent

Closes the IA-Connect Agent. This does not affect the user session where the IA-Connect Agent was running.

Configure next hop IA-Connect Director

Configure the next-hop Director in a double-hop scenario. This is only required if the default IA-Connect next-hop Director settings are not suitable.

Convert rectangle coordinates

Converts a rectangle pixel coordinate from virtual to physical or physical to virtual. If you wish to convert a point, simply set Right=Left and Bottom=Top. Physical coordinates map directly to pixels on the monitor. Virtual coordinates are DPI scaled. If the underlying display scaling of all display devices is 100%, both physical and virtual coordinates are the same.

Create directory

Creates a directory (folder) on the computer where the IA-Connect Agent is running.

Create Remote Desktop Session (RDS) launch file

Create a Remote Desktop Session (RDS) launch file which can be used to automatically launch a Remote Desktop Session using specified parameters, instead of requiring automation of the Remote Desktop client UI. A RDS launch file has the extension '.rdp' and is often called a RDP file.

Defer existing Orchestrator automation task

Defer an existing Orchestrator task which is already in the queue. The task will be deferred to a specified time in the future. This is commonly used to re-defer an existing task (i.e. the task was previously deferred and now needs to be deferred again). Use this action to temporarily suspend a task for a specified amount of time (for example if you are waiting for something).

Delete an Agent thread

Deletes an Agent thread, or all Agent threads, killing (terminating, aborting) the thread first, if it is still running. An Agent thread can be used to run certain actions in a thread, permitting the actions to run for a long time (longer than the RPA timeout) or to run in parallel with other actions. Processes or flows monitoring the Agent thread will receive an 'Agent thread Id does not exist' error.

Delete directory

Deletes a directory (folder) on the computer where the IA-Connect Agent is running.

Disables next-hop so that all future commands will be processed by the Agent which receives them (as opposed to being forwarded on to the next hop Agent).

Disconnect remote session

If the IA-Connect Agent is running in a remote session, this action disconnects the remote session. This is not the same as logging off and will leave the remote session running in a disconnected state. This action can be used where you wish to connect back to the remote session later and continue from the same state, rather than starting a new session. If the IA-Connect Agent is running locally, this action will lock the session.

Does directory exist

Reports true or false as to whether a directory (folder) exists on the computer where the IA-Connect Agent is running.

Does file exist

Reports true or false as to whether a file exists on the computer where the IA-Connect Agent is running.

Set to true to retrieve the thread output data in JSON format. It is recommended to retrieve thread output data by calling the same action used to create the thread, setting the input 'Retrieve output data for thread Id' to the thread Id, but this option allows you to directly retrieve the thread output data and optionally not delete the data.

Delete thread after output data retrieved
ClearOutputDataFromMemoryOnceRead boolean

If the thread has completed successfully and the output data was retrieved (see the input 'Retrieve thread output data'), set this input to true to delete the thread after the results have been returned. This will delete the thread output data and the thread itself, so you will be unable to query the thread again.

Raise exception if thread not completed
RaiseExceptionIfThreadNotCompleted boolean

If set to true and the thread hasn't completed in the specified time, an exception will be raised. If set to false, this action will wait up to the requested time (for the thread to complete) and report the thread status (see the outputs 'Thread is running' etc). An exception will always be raised if the thread completes, but in failure.

Raise exception if thread error
RaiseExceptionIfThreadError boolean

If set to true (the default behaviour) and the thread has an error condition (thread completed but not successful), an exception will be raised, and the thread will be deleted. If set to false, the error will be stored in the output 'Thread error message' and the thread will not be deleted (you should delete the thread using the action 'Delete an Agent thread' when appropriate).

Seconds to wait per call
SecondsToWaitPerCall integer

The 'Seconds to wait for thread' will be broken down into smaller time slices to avoid timeouts. This optional input allows you to specify the size of the smaller time slice. Do not set to a value larger than 80% of the RPA timeout, or you may receive timeout errors.
