IA-Connect is a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform which adds RPA functionality from Power Automate Cloud Flows to on-premises virtual machines or over Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDS) connections. The IA-Connect Connectors provide over 650 actions, allowing you to automate every type of on-premise application directly from a Power Automate Cloud Flow. All IA-Connect actions are available directly from your Power Automate Cloud Flow providing easy integration between Cloud based and on-premises applications, the ability to leverage existing Power Automate conditions, loops, dynamic content, expressions and exception handling in your RPA processes. Utilising the IA-Connect Connectors also provides full execution history and auditability from the Flow run history whilst also removing the need to have a separate application/console/studio for developing your RPA processes.
To use any of the IA-Connect Connectors, you must install the IA-Connect software. This is free to test for 30 days, following which you will require an IA-Connect license.
The IA-Connect software consists of two main components:
The IA-Connect Orchestrator, which is an Azure WebApp which you would host in your own Azure tenant. This handles the routing and security of RPA Flows to one or more on-premises or cloud-based virtual machines.
The IA-Connect Agent and Director, which is installed onto the virtual machines where the software you wish to automate is accessible. Additionally, the IA-Connect Agent can run inside a Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) session, where the RPA commands are passed down a virtual channel into the remote session for execution. The IA-Connect Agent can be run from a network share and does not require installation.
The available IA-Connect Connectors are:
- IA-Connect Dynamic Code
- IA-Connect Java
- IA-Connect Mainframe
- IA-Connect Microsoft Office
- IA-Connect SAP GUI
- IA-Connect Session
- IA-Connect UI
- IA-Connect Web Browser
In order to receive your license and begin your 30-day free trial, please submit a request on our website (https://www.ultima.com/IA-Connect/Power-Automate).
Once a trial request is received, we will contact you via the email address provided to assist with setting up the IA-Connect software and to provide you with the trial license. This is a fully featured trial and will enable you to test any of the 650 actions across all 8 IA-Connect Connectors within your own environment during the trial period.
After submitting a trial request for IA-Connect, you will be able to download a ZIP file containing the IA-Connect software and documentation covering the installation and setup. We will also contact you to offer support and guidance through the installation process as required.
During the trial period, you can contact Ultima Labs (IAConnect@ultima.com) for support and assistance.
Upon purchasing IA-Connect licenses you will receive support tokens which can be redeemed for bespoke training or support from Ultima's UK-based Technical Service Centre (TSC).

Are Java element handles the same |
Compares two Java element handles for Java elements to see if they represent the same Java object. This can be useful if you have identified an element and retrieved a handle to its parent. |
Check Java element |
Sets the state of an element (typically a checkbox or radio box) to either checked or unchecked. |
Connect to Java Access Bridge |
Starts the IA-Connect Java subsystem (IA-JavaAccessBridge) and connects it to the specified Java Access Bridge DLL (or leave blank to search for one). This step must be performed before you can automate Java applications. This action also enables the Java Access Bridge which must be enabled before running any Java applications. |
Create handle for Java element at screen coordinate |
Creates a handle to a Java element by providing the screen coordinates. If a Java element exists at the specified coordinate, the action will identify the element and return a handle to it. |
Disconnect from Java Access Bridge |
Shuts down any running IA-Connect Java subsystem (IA-JavaAccessBridge). |
Does Java desktop element exist |
Reports whether a Java desktop element exists and provides some basic element properties. |
Does Java element exist |
Reports whether a Java element exists and returns some basic element properties. |
Draw rectangle around Java element |
Draws a rectangle around the perimeter of a Java element to aid in identifying that the element found is the one required. The rectangle is automatically removed after 5 seconds. |
Expand Java selection element |
Expands or collapses a Java element (typically a menu / dropdown item). If the item is already expanded, nothing will happen. |
Focus Java element |
Focusses a Java element which makes it the active element for keyboard focus and, depending on the application, may bring the element window to the foreground. |
Get actions for Java element |
Returns the accessible actions for a Java element. These accessible actions can then be performed on the element by using the action name as an input to the action 'Perform action on Java element', for example 'click' or 'select-all'. |
Get all Java child element properties |
Returns all properties of all Java child elements. This can be useful if you are uncertain which field holds the property values required. |
Get Java child element properties |
Returns all properties of a specific Java child element, specified by index. This can be useful if you are uncertain which field holds the property values required. |
Get Java desktop elements |
Returns a list of Java application windows and dialogs on the desktop. You must first connect to the Java Access Bridge. |

Returns the properties of a Java element as a single line list (single line collection / data table) instead of individual items, this maybe useful depending on how you intend to use the data. |
Get Java element text value |
Returns the text value of a Java element. A text value is usually associated with a text element, but many elements can have this property. |
Get Java element value |
Returns the value of an element. A value is usually associated with a text input area, but many elements can have this property. |
Get Java parent element properties |
Returns the properties of the parent element of a Java element. This action will only return the properties of the direct parent element and will not search the entire height of the element tree. |
Get Java properties for UIA element |
Returns all Java properties of a UIA element. This can be useful if you are uncertain which field holds the property values required. |
Get Java role CSV from element handle |
Returns the tree of element roles below the specified element handle as CSV. This action would only be used for development purposes and provides an overview of the elements of the application which can be useful for visualising the application structure and optimising element searches. |
Get Java role CSV from element search |
Performs a Java element search and outputs the details of the elements searched (up to the point where the element was found) as CSV. This action would only be used for development purposes and provides an overview of the elements of the application which can be useful for visualising the application structure and optimising element searches. |
Get Java selection element items |
Returns all child selection element items found under the specified Java selection element. You can choose to retrieve the selection element options either by looping through the selection, selecting each individual option in the list OR by reading the labels of the child elements of the selection. If you choose to retrieve the selection element options by reading the labels of the child elements of the selection, you will likely need to expand the selection first by providing the 'Expand first' parameter as 'True' and you can then optionally close the selection afterwards by also providing the 'Collapse after' parameter as 'True'. |
Get Java selection state by index |
Returns the selection state of a child element in a selection (typically an item in a list or drop-down) by providing the child element index. You can retrieve all selection child element items to check their index by using the action 'Get Java selection element items'. |
Get Java selection state by name |
Returns the selection state of a child element in a selection (typically an item in a list or drop-down) by providing the child element name. You can retrieve all selection child element items to check their name by using the action 'Get Java selection element items'. |

If a Java table cell that is a child element of the table exists at the specified coordinates, this action will identify the element, its properties and will optionally return a handle to the table cell element. |
Get Java table cell properties |
Returns the properties and contents of a specified cell within a Java table element. This is an element with rows, columns, a header and cells (i.e. a table). You can optionally specify whether to determine which if the cell is currently visible on screen and it's coordinates by enumerating the viewport. The viewport element typically contains the table (e.g. it is a parent element of the table) and represents the visible area of the table. |
Get Java table contents |
Returns the contents of a Java table element. This is an element with rows, columns, a header and cells (i.e. a table). |
Get Java table properties |

You can optionally specify whether to determine which components of the table are currently visible on screen by enumerating the viewport. The viewport element typically contains the table (e.g. it is a parent element of the table) and represents the visible area of the table. |
Get multiple Java parent element properties |
Returns the properties of all parent elements of a Java element. This action will search the entire height of the element tree returning all parent properties if the 'Max parents to process' parameter is set high enough. |
Get visible bounding rectangle of Java element |
Retrieves the visible bounds of a Java element. Typically, the Java Access Bridge will return the virtual positional values of an element, regardless of whether the element is visible on screen and these virtual values are provided by the 'Get Java element properties' action. With larger elements (e.g. a table element which can scroll) as these may not always be visible on screen, this action returns the coordinates of the currently visible area of the element. |

|
Get list of options by selecting
|
GetListOfOptionsBySelecting | boolean |
If set to 'True' then the IA-Connect Agent will attempt to obtain a list of all options in the selection by selecting each one in turn (in JAB).

|
Get list of options by reading labels
|
GetListOfOptionsByReadingLabels | boolean |
If set to 'True' (the default) then the IA-Connect Agent will attempt to obtain a list of all options in the selection by reading the child labels (in the JAB tree). For drop-down lists you will almost certainly need to set the 'Expand first' parameter to 'True' because the child elements aren't exposed until the list drops down. Also set the 'Collapse after' parameter to 'True' to close the list afterwards. The 'Get list of options by selecting' parameter should also be set to 'False' or this option will be ignored (as you can't get the list via both methods). If set to 'False' then the 'Get list of options by selecting' parameter should be set to 'True' otherwise the list of options will not be read. |
|
Expand first
|
ExpandFirst | boolean |
If set to 'true' (the default) then the action will attempt to expand the list before searching for the list item elements. This is useful for dynamic lists as the other list item elements may not be created until the list is expanded. If set to 'false' then the list will not be expanded. |
|
Collapse after
|
CollapseAfter | boolean |
If set to true (the default) then the list will be collapsed after executing the search. If set to false then the list will not be collapsed. |
|
Seconds between expand and collapse
|
SecondsBetweenExpandCollapse | double |
The number of seconds to wait between the expand and collapse actions, if these are set to 'True'. By default, this is 0.05 (20 milliseconds). |
|
Force even if in correct state
|
ForceEvenIfInCorrectState | boolean |
If set to 'True' then the element will be selected even if it is already selected. If set to 'False' (the default) then the IA-Connect Agent will do nothing if the list element is already selected. |
|
Recover on failure
|
RecoverOnFailure | boolean |
If set to 'True' then the originally selected list items will be recovered if the new selection fails. For example, if item 3 was selected and you try selecting item 90 (which doesn't exist) then item 3 will be re-selected. If set to 'False' then the originally selected list items will not be recovered. |

If multiple elements match the search, which element (starting at 1) should be matched. Can be used in conjunction with 'Sort by column' to choose the sort order for matching. |
|
Search filter
|
SearchFilter | string |

|
SortByColumn | string |
If multiple elements match the search, this allows you to specify which element property to sort by. This will be used in conjunction with 'Match index' to pick the required element. For example: If 'Sort by column name' is [TopEdge] and 'Match index' is 1 then the matching element nearest the top of the screen will be matched. |
|
