Feasibility of Integrating UiPath with Pega Deployment Manager
I’m exploring the possibility of integrating UiPath with Pega Deployment Manager and would appreciate any insights or experiences you might have. Specifically, I’m looking to understand:
- Whether there is any existing support or recommended approach for integrating UiPath workflows into the Pega deployment pipeline.
- Any technical challenges or limitations to be aware of.
- Best practices or documentation that could guide this integration.
If anyone has attempted this or has suggestions on how to approach it, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!

there’s no ootb UiPath step in Pega Deployment Manager, but it’s doable. Use a custom Task in your pipeline that calls UiPath Orchestrator’s REST API to start jobs, pass inputs, and poll status; Deployment Manager supports custom Tasks and external tool integration via its APIs and keystores. Configure the custom Task (or a Jenkins/Azure DevOps handoff step) to call Orchestrator’s StartJobs endpoint with a bearer token, then fail or proceed based on job state. Watch for network allow-listing, OAuth token handling, and timeouts; keep calls idempotent and add retries/backoff. Store secrets in Pega keystores, not in rules, and log the Orchestrator JobId on the pipeline run for traceability. If you only need runtime robot integration inside cases, Pega also documents app-level UiPath integration, but that’s separate from DM pipelines. Good starting points: Deployment Manager’s service, custom Tasks, and API docs, plus UiPath’s Orchestrator Jobs API.
