Execute Script

↑ ← →

Specify the script type from the list of available, namely, JScript, VBScript, PowerShell scripts and batch files. Write the script of appropriate type into the script field.

All parameters that need to be passed to the script need to be inserted by using dynamic values of Variable Wizard. The parameters are injected directly into the code and from the script execution viewpoint will appear as static values.

The output of the script (if any) is retrievable with the means of Variable Wizard from any subsequent Action within the same Task.
