In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
In the Control Room URL field, enter your control room URL address in the http://<domain>.my.automationanywhere.digital format. This is a URL address used to access your Automation Anywhere application.
In the Username field, enter your account’s username field.
You can authenticate the Automation Anywhere account either by using API key or your account password. In the Authentication Method field, select the option and enter the value to authenticate the account.
- In the API Key field, enter the API key generated in your account. Using API keys is a way to authenticate an application accessing the API, without referencing an actual user (for example, in the organizations that support SSO). The app adds the key to each API request, and the API can use the key to identify the application and authorize the request. UsersCan use the system on a limited basis based on the rights assigned by the admin. More can generate an API key in the AA control room. See how to generate the API key.

This module allows you to trigger the bot that was configured in your Automation Anywhere Control Room and execute it on the user’s default device. Only unattended automation is possible at this point.

Prerequisites to deploy or trigger a bot:

View and Run my bots feature permissions
Run and schedule permissions for the folder that contains bots
Access to Bot Runner licensed users
Access to either a default device or a device pool

Connection

Establish a connection to your Automation Anywhere (Cloud) account.

Type of Action

Select the action type for the bot:

Trigger the Bot: deploys a bot on the user’s default device and doesn’t wait for the Bot execution results to proceed with the execution of the next Action Flow Apps.
Trigger and Wait for Bot Result: deploys a bot on the user’s default device and waits for the Bot execution results to proceed with the execution of the Action Flow. The Bot execution results can be used as an input in the next Apps in the flow.

Bot

Select or map the bot (created and pre-configured in Automation Anywhere) you want to trigger and enter the details in the fields that auto-populate based on the selected bot.

Map functionFunctions you can use in Boost.space Integrator - create, update, delete, get, search. allows a user to map a value from one of the previous modules instead of selecting a Bot from the dropdown list.

For example, to dynamically define which bot has to be triggered based on the conditions fulfilled or not in the previous apps of the flow.

If there are any input variables configured for the bot in your Automation Anywhere account, they would be shown in the app when you select the bot. Users can either enter the data manually or use the output values from the previous apps.

Other

You can make API calls using the following module.

Headers	Enter the desired request headers. You don’t have to add authorization headers; we already did that for you.
Query String	Enter the request query string.
Body	Enter the request query string.

Example of Use – List Device Pools

The following API call returns the device pools from your Automation Anywhere (Cloud) account:
