About the UiPath Studio Desktop April Technical Updates (L200) training

For Automation Developers and Sales Engineers embarking on this course, get ready to explore how to model and automate processes that don’t complete in a single run. Long Running Workflows allow you to handle approvals, escalations, and message-based events while maintaining visibility and control.

The course begins with an Introduction to Long Running Workflows, comparing them with traditional RPA to highlight where they shine—scenarios that require human input, delays, or external triggers. In the Design phase, you’ll discover BPMN-inspired modeling in Studio, covering tasks, gateways, timers, and user assignments. Moving to the Build phase, you’ll construct a purchase request approval process, applying service tasks for automation, user tasks for manager reviews, gateways for conditional logic, and error boundary events for exception handling. Finally, in the Demonstration phase, you’ll integrate all these elements into a stateful, end-to-end workflow that can pause, resume, and recover from errors without losing context.

By the end, you’ll have the confidence to design resilient workflows that combine robots, humans, and external systems in a single orchestrated process.

Product alignment

This course was built using the UiPath Studio 2025.4 release and aligns with the Long Running Workflows canvas, Orchestrator, and Action Center integration.

Learning prerequisites

To make the most of this course, you should already understand UiPath Studio basics and how Orchestrator manages automation jobs. Familiarity with Action Center is helpful but not required. We recommend completing the UiPath Studio Foundation course before starting.

Audience

This course is designed for: 

• Automation Developers who want to model end-to-end processes involving approvals, delays, and external triggers. 

• Sales Engineers who need to showcase real-world automation scenarios during demos and POCs. 

Agenda

This course covers key areas around: 

• The difference between traditional automations and long running ones. 

• BPMN modeling basics in Studio (events, tasks, gateways). 

• Human-in-loop tasks via Action Center. 

• Timer and message intermediate events. 

• Error boundary and end events for robust exception handling. 

• Subprocesses for modular design. 

• Building a purchase request approval demo workflow. 

• Best practices and limitations. 

Learning objectives

At the end of this course, you should be able to: 

• Explain what Long Running Workflows are and when to use them. 

• Describe the BPMN elements available in the Long Running Workflow canvas. 

• Build workflows that pause, wait for events, and resume without breaking. 

• Use service tasks, user tasks, and gateways to model approvals and business rules. 

• Apply error boundary events and exception handling in long running automations. 

• Demonstrate a purchase request approval process with both auto-approval and manager approval paths.
