Getting Started with UiPath Workflow Analyzer Custom Rules Development

This guide walks you through setting up a development environment for creating custom Workflow Analyzer rules in UiPath Studio.

By the end, you'll have a verified setup where your custom rules appear and run in UiPath Studio.

You will learn how to:

• Install the required tools and SDKs
• Obtain and build known-working sample code
• Deploy rule assemblies into UiPath Studio's Workflow Analyzer
• Generate a custom rules project with your organization name and rule ID prefix
• Build, test, and deploy your own adaptions of the Hello World rule
• Verify the rule in UiPath Studio

[!NOTE] As of 2025-Q2, the assumption is that even a version 0.9 documenting a simple "Hello World Rule" will be useful, as many users reported in the forum that they have trouble getting a rule into UiPath Studio. This initiative actually publishes code that works and is verified to work, plus it provides a guide to get there. Any feedback is welcome, to shape the activities in 2025-Q3. No feedback is too small or too large, but if zero feedback is received, the assumption is that the initiative is not useful and I will consider stopping it.

The Getting Started instructions do NOT (yet) contain:

• how to write specific rules
• how to use the Workflow Analyzer in UiPath Studio

A guide to writing rules will be published later. As of 2025-Q2, the guide is not yet available.
