Abstract
One or more robots may be invoked from one or more applications for robotic process automation (RPA). A process for invoking a robot from an application may include launching the application from a computing system to invoke a robot link embedded within the application. The process may also include initiating from the application a port discovery process to identify a port, port details, and a token. The process may further include generating by the application a randomized code and invoking a consent application requesting approval from a user of the computing system to invoke the robot from the application. The process may also include registering the randomized code with a local listener module and passing user information and the token to a global listener module. The process may further include receiving from the global listener module the token and port identification, allowing the application to authenticate itself with, and communicate with, the robot, thereby completing the robot invoking process.
