This session is for RPA Developers Business Analysts, and/or Data Analysts looking to learn how to call UiPath robots from within Alteryx Designer, or to extend your UiPath workflows into the Alteryx analytics platform. You'll learn key concepts and understand the specific steps needed to make UiPath and Alteryx work seamlessly together, and see real-world examples of combined solutions in action. The session will be conducted by experts from both Alteryx and UiPath, who will be glad to answer questions and discuss lessons learned while working with both platforms hands-on.
During the meetup we'll cover:
How UiPath and Alteryx integrate
How to interact with Alteryx data using UiPath robots
How to trigger a UiPath robot and take action from within Alteryx Designer
How to bring in data from websites, mainframes, and other data sources that have no APIs
Example use cases and demos

UiPath + Alteryx Integrations
• The UiPath Activity Pack for Alteryx is an
integration between the UiPath Enterprise RPA
Platform and Alteryx Server. It enables users to
easily trigger Alteryx workflows from UiPath
workflows. In order to be able to use this the
Alteryx clients need to have a server license.
• The integration is built in collaboration with
Alteryx, supported and maintained by UiPath.
• The UiPath Connector for Alteryx
Designer allows Alteryx users to call UiPath
workflows in the UiPath Orchestrator from
within Alteryx workflows. The processes are
executed by robots.
• The connector is built by Alteryx and
is supported and maintained by Alteryx.

UiPath Connector for Alteryx Designer – How Does it Work?
"Extract data from reports" is a process that pulls data
directly from Salesforce. This process was created in
UiPath and is invoked from within the Alteryx workflow
by the UiPath Connector for Alteryx Designer.
Results are returned in a spreadsheet
The UiPath Connector for Alteryx
calls the workflow “Extract data from
reports”, which is executed by a
robot. The results are sent back to
Alteryx as a spreadsheet.

Case Study: Top 3 US Bank has embarked on “Citizen Led”
Automation Program in CFO function using UiPath and Alteryx
The Problem
• 30-40% time spent in extracting data from bank’s internal
applications for Alteryx models
• Some of the applications included several GLs, Loan booking
systems, trading and risk management applications
• Led to delays and stagnation in overall analytics and reporting
initiatives for CFO function
Embarked on UiPath led Citizen led initiative
for Alteryx users in CFO
The Solution
Initial use cases include journal reclassification, management
reporting, cost center remediation, revenue attribution, trader
compensation audits
No end-to-end automation solution for Risk
and Analytics / Reporting functions
Initial rollout to 400 users of which 40 are core designers.
