Setup iFrame widget using Automation Co-Pilot

You can setup your iFrame widget for your supported web applications. This includes embedding a widget and configuring the iFrame widget code.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have completed the following:

  • Provided a system-created AAE_Robotic_Interface Admin role for the Co-Pilot Admin.
  • Have access to the Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users on the web interface.
  • Complete any necessary password changes to access the Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users on the web interface.
Note: Ensure third party partitioning is disabled in your Google Chrome settings. Automation Co-Pilot for Business Users FAQ
Create new connections to applications and configure your iFrame widget details including access to the embed code for you to copy and use in a web application.

You can only setup the iFrame widget for web applications that support the iFrame widget. If the web application does not support the iFrame widget, refer to Embed automations in your application using Automation Co-Pilot.

Important: The iFrame URL has changed starting from Automation 360 v.32 release. If you have set up your iFrame widgets in Automation 360 v.31 or earlier and are updating to Automation 360 v32 or later, you must recreate these widgets in the updated version to generate the code with new URL for the iFrame widgets. Copy this new iFrame URL in your applications for Co-Pilot to run successfully.

See the video below on how to obtain the new iFrame URL:

When you add tags, they display in the embedded widget tab on your desktop application, in the tags column next to the widgets. Tags allow you to filter out automations and display only a subset of automations from the entire list. This will give you the ability to call and access only the tagged automations in your embedded widget. To add a tag, see: Configure a process.
