SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Adds explicit human review and decision checkpoints into UiPath automations so that approvals, write-back validations, escalations, and data enrichment are handled safely and audibly instead of allowing an automation to make risky autonomous changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema-driven HITL design: Elicit and confirm the exact inputs, outputs, inOuts, and named outcomes for human tasks before writing changes.
  • Flow file editing & validation: Write uipath.human-in-the-loop nodes directly into .flow files, regenerate workflow.variables.nodes, and run uip flow validate to ensure correctness.
  • Multi-surface guidance: Support QuickForm inline schemas, AppTask integrations (resolve deployed apps via API), and manual guidance for coded agents and Maestro processes.
  • Safety rules & wiring: Enforce confirmation of schema, always wire the completed handle, deduplicate definitions, and wire cancelled/timeout as appropriate to avoid blocked flows.
  • Use case examples: Invoice approval gates, write-back confirmation to ServiceNow, escalation on low-confidence AI outputs, and human-driven data enrichment after OCR.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to add a Human-in-the-Loop node after the invoice extraction step that shows invoiceId and amount, allows editing of the proposed fields, and wires the completed handle to the payment processing node.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a human approval checkpoint to a UiPath automation flow?

You can add a human-in-the-loop node directly into .flow files to capture approvals, validations, and escalations. The Skill confirms task schemas, regenerates workflow variables, and runs uip flow validate to ensure safe, audible human decision points.

What is human-in-the-loop used for in UiPath automations?

Human-in-the-loop is used to insert explicit human review checkpoints for handling risky changes safely. Use cases include invoice approval gates, ServiceNow write-back validations, escalation on low-confidence AI outputs, and human-driven data enrichment after OCR.

Can I use human-in-the-loop with coded agents and Maestro BPMN processes?

Yes, human-in-the-loop works with coded agents and Maestro BPMN processes. It provides multi-surface guidance for designing task schemas, wiring approval gates, and managing exception escalations across Flow files, Maestro, and coded agents.

How do I configure task schemas for human decision points in UiPath?

You configure task schemas by eliciting and confirming exact inputs, outputs, inOuts, and named outcomes before writing changes. It enforces schema confirmation and always wires the completed handle to cancelled or timeout events, preventing blocked automation flows.

Why does my UiPath flow get blocked after adding an escalation entry?

Your UiPath flow gets blocked because the human-in-the-loop node lacks properly wired handles. You must always wire the completed handle, and appropriately connect cancelled or timeout handles to deduplicate definitions and prevent the flow from stalling.
