# UiPath: Intro

**Cognigy Support**  
November 15, 2021

This is a general introduction on how to install the UiPath extension so you can use it in your flow.

This page gives you a brief introduction about how you can connect your Cognigy flow to a UiPath via an extension to trigger processes.

Within our **Cognigy.AI** platform, you're able to trigger **UiPath** processes via an extension.

# Download and Install Extension

The first step is to install the required integration. In this case, a so-called [Extension](https://docs.cognigy.com/docs/extensions) is uploaded to Cognigy.AI. Thus, navigate to the **Extensions Marketplace** inside of the Virtual Agent and add the **UIPath Orchestrator** Extension by clicking on the **Install** button. Now follow [this installation guide and upload the Extension to Cognigy](https://support.cognigy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016505680-Extensions-Installation#upload-an-extension-0-2), where it will be displayed as the following:

# Authentication

Because certain information required to connect to the UiPath API is created on a per session basis, the authentication takes place directly in the flow. Which flow node you use and the process to find the authentication information depends on whether you use UiPath on-premise or over the UiPath cloud. The next step then would be to set up this one of these connections.
