How to Quickly Find Your UiPath Automation Hub URL
If you’re just getting started with UiPath Automation Hub—or you’ve migrated to a new tenant—knowing the exact URL is essential. Whether you need to share the link with teammates, embed it in a dashboard, or troubleshoot connectivity, having the address at hand saves time and frustration.
What Is UiPath Automation Hub?
UiPath Automation Hub is a central collaboration space where teams can discover, plan, and prioritize automation projects. Think of it as a shared backlog that links ideas to resources, cost estimates, and execution timelines.
Unlike the Studio or Orchestrator, the Hub is web‑based, and its URL varies depending on the environment:
- Production (live) environment
- Test or staging environment
- On‑premises or cloud‑hosted deployment
Because the domain and path are tenant‑specific, you can’t guess it without a bit of navigation.
Why Knowing the URL Matters
Having the correct link ensures you:
- Can access the Hub from any browser or device
- Share the URL with stakeholders without needing to recreate it each time
- Integrate the Hub into reporting tools or CI/CD pipelines
- Verify that you’re on the right tenant, especially when working with multiple accounts
Missing or incorrect URLs often lead to login errors, misdirected requests, or, worse, accidental access to a wrong tenant.
Step‑by‑Step Guide to Finding the Automation Hub URL
1. Log In to UiPath Orchestrator First
Most UiPath environments provide a single sign‑on experience. Start by logging into Orchestrator. Once authenticated, the Hub link is typically accessible from the main menu.
2. Locate the Hub Menu Item
On the left‑hand navigation pane, look for “Automation Hub” or “Hub.” If it’s hidden, it might be under “More” or “All Apps.” Clicking it will open the Hub in a new tab.
3. Capture the URL from the Browser Address Bar
Once the Hub loads, simply copy the entire string from your browser’s address bar. It usually looks like:
https://tenant.uipath.com/automationhub
or for on‑premises:
https://server/automationhub
4. Verify the Environment Segment
Check whether the URL contains “prod,” “staging,” or “dev.” If you’re unsure, compare it to the Orchestrator URL; they usually share the same domain prefix.
5. Save the Link for Future Reference
Bookmark the page or add it to a shared document. In many teams, the Hub URL is stored in a “Team Wiki” or “Automation Hub Landing Page” reference.
Alternative Ways to Find the URL
- Use the UiPath Admin Console: In the Admin panel, the “Automation Hub” section often displays the full URL.
- Check Email Confirmations: When your account is first provisioned, UiPath sends a welcome email that includes a link to the Hub.
- Ask the DevOps Team: They typically maintain a “Tenant Registry” that lists URLs for all environments.
- Review the Tenant Settings in the Orchestrator: Under “Tenant” settings, there is a “Hub URL” field.
Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
- Wrong Tenant: If you have multiple subscriptions, double‑check the domain prefix (e.g., “demo” vs. “prod”).
- Missing Sub‑Path: Some deployments use a sub‑path like “/automationhub/portal.” Ensure you capture the entire path.
- Browser Cache Issues: After switching tenants, the cached URL might still point to the old environment. Clearing cache or using incognito mode helps.
- URL Shorteners: Avoid sharing shortened links; they can redirect unpredictably.
Keeping the URL Consistent Across the Team
When new members join, or when you migrate to a new environment, it’s good practice to:
- Publish the Hub URL in a central repository (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint).
- Add the link to the project README.
- Include a brief note in the team’s onboarding checklist.
Consistency reduces login friction and ensures everyone is always pointing to the same Hub.
What If the Hub Isn’t Visible?
Sometimes, the Automation Hub app isn’t installed for a tenant. In that case, ask your UiPath administrator to enable the app from the Orchestrator’s “Apps” section. Once installed, the menu item will appear, and the URL will be accessible.
FAQ
How do I know if I’m on the correct Automation Hub environment?
Check the domain and any environment suffix (e.g., “dev,” “test”) against the list of environments your organization maintains.
Can I create a custom domain for my Automation Hub?
Yes. UiPath offers domain customization for on‑premises deployments; consult your admin for setup instructions.
What should I do if the URL changes after a migration?
Update all shared links immediately. Notify team members via email or chat and replace bookmarks with the new address.
Is the Automation Hub URL the same as the Orchestrator URL?
Not always. While they share the same tenant domain, the Hub typically uses a different sub‑path. Verify by checking the address bar when both apps are open.
Knowing where to locate your UiPath Automation Hub URL is a quick yet powerful skill. Once you have it saved, accessing and sharing the Hub becomes a matter of a single click.
