Luma Virtual Agent provides a variety of automation workflows. In this article, you will learn how to configure an Automation Workflow related to Powershell Service Configuration as an example.

Below are the ready-to-use, Out-of-the-box (OOTB) Powershell workflows. You can add these Workflow Services to your Skill as Conversation Item and execute the workflow.

Using Service Workflow in a Skill

Let us look at an example using the Automation workflow service 'Ldap enable User'.

The 'LDAP enable User' Workflow Service enables an end user in LDAP using a PowerShell script. Follow the below steps to configure and use the workflow service:

Step 1: Setup Service Configurations

Service Configurations store the information used to connect to the system for automation workflows. Using the Automation Service Configurations page in Luma Bot Builder, you can specify the required login credentials for the specific service to which you want to connect.

Click on Automation icon and navigate to Automation → Service Configurations tab.

Following is the list of service configurations:

For any 'Ldap enable User' Workflow, you need to update the following Service Configurations.

Powershell Configuration- The configuration is used to execute powershell script to enable user in LDAP. To use Powershell, following configurations are required:

config.powershell.password	Refers to the machine or environment password where you can execute PowerShell or winrm service is running.
config.powershell.domain	Refers to the machine or environment windows domain name where you can execute PowerShell or winrm service is running.
config.powershell.username	Refers to the machine or environment username where you can execute PowerShell or winrm service is running.
config.powershell.address	Refers to the machine or environment address where you can execute PowerShell or winrm service is running.

Luma 2.x Configurations- To use the workflow service in Luma Virtual Agent. To use Luma 2.x, following configurations are required:

config.luma2x.url	This is the URL to the Luma VSA environment you want to connect to.
config.luma2x.luma.tenant.externalid	Refers to your Luma VSA Tenant External ID
config.luma2x.luma.api.access.key	Refers to the API access key created in Luma VSA to allow a third party system to connect to your tenant.

For more information refer to Out-of-the-box Automation Operations and Workflows.

Step 2: Using the Workflow Service in SKill

Next step is to create a skill in LumaBot builder to enable a user in LDAP. The skill executes 'Ldap enable User' Workflow. The Workflow requires the following parameters

Ldap enable User	Powershell	Enables the AD user	Update Message On success	Message to be displayed on enabling the user
			Update Message On Failure	Message to be displayed if an error occurred.
			SAM Account Name	LDAP SAM Account Name

When the skill is executed, Luma VA prompts the user to enter the user name to be enabled in LDAP, and the user input is saved in the 'ad_username' attribute. The attribute is linked to the input field 'SAM Account Name' while associating the Automation Workflow to the Skill.

During skill execution, the information in the 'ad_username' attribute is passed to the Automation Workflow, which in turn enables the account in AD.
