Automation Workshop includes the Execute Script Action that allows integration of JScript, VBScript, and PowerShell scripts as well as batch files directly into the Task, thus effectively extending its automation capabilities well beyond those provided by the software's Triggers and Actions · See script examples
Although Automation Workshop is primarily intended to take care of process automation without scripting or programming, it also provides this low-level layer access (to power users and system administrators) for particularly demanding automation scenarios.
Features & highlights
- Allows fileless execution of JScript, VBScript, PowerShell scripts and batch file commands.
- Automatically run PowerShell scripts as Administrator, or any user as specified in Task Properties, auto-capture the CMD session and script output, and parse it using the powerful built-in text processing Actions.
- Make advanced branching using our no-code IF–ELSE branching capabilities.
- JScript, VBScript, PowerShell script and batch file support for high scripting versatility.
- Supports retrieving an unlimited number of parameters and arguments directly from the script via dynamic values of Variable Wizard.
Usage examples
- Run any command that requires a password, even specifying Windows Domain credentials, when the computer is not part of an Active Directory.
- Access network shares and password-protected folders from any scripts by providing network user credentials.
- Perform any file, string, arithmetic operations whenever necessary.
- Make a custom Action to supplement the set of existing Actions or even Triggers.
