uipath-human-in-the-loop

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.
