Step 1 – Enter IPA Information
This is the first step in creating a new IPA. The screen includes several sections, each capturing specific details about your automation setup.
IPA Details
- Automation Project – Displays the name of the project you opened in HuLoop. It is selected by default, but you can use the drop-down list to choose another project if needed.
- IPA Name – Enter a name for your new IPA (e.g., Daily_Data_Refresh_IPA). This is a mandatory field.
- IPA Description – Optionally, enter a short description that helps identify the purpose of the IPA.
- Run Setting – Here you can choose how to associate a run setting with your IPA.
Run settings define which automation components (modules, suites, and test cases) will execute when the IPA runs. Select whether you want to create a New run setting or use an Existing one.You have two options:- New:
- Host URL – Enter the URL where the automation will connect. By default, the current portal host URL appears (for example, https://qa.huloop.ai). The system automatically appends /HuLoopRest when saving.
- Is Workflow Enabled – This toggle is set to Yes by default. IPAs with Workflow Enablement turned on are designed exclusively for workflow integration and do not appear under the HuLoop Console Management

- When you choose Existing, an additional Select Run Setting drop-down appears. It lists all available active run settings for the selected project.
