Execute Script

↑ ← →

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

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

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