vRealize Orchestrator workflow call from vRealize automation

Hello I am new to vRealize automation / orchestrator and need some assistance. We have couple of blue prints published on the catalog ; would like to create user service accounts in AD automatically as that machine is provisioned. Currently we do have the vRO configured to work with AD and the built in workflow is working fine. My question is there any way of triggering the vRO workflow from when the server blueprint is requested from catalog. I know you can publish that blueprint at IaaS but we don't want users picking their own usernames. What would be the best approach for this?

Thank you in advance.

You will have to use workflow stubs.

Installing vRO customizations on vRealize Automation | orchestration.io

That should get you going.


  1. run the vRO customization workflow
  2. create 3 workflows in vRO
  3. create a custom property for each deployment workflow stub state for your vRA blueprint
    1. ExternalWFStubs.BuildingMachine
    2. ExternalWFStubs.MachineProvisioned
    3. ExternalWFStubs.MachineDisposing
  4. Use the ID of the workflows you crated as the values of the properties from step 3. When you deploy your machine the workflow will execute the vRO workflow.
