Specify App path and file name, necessary arguments, and the folder in which it will be executed. Start App Action works the same way as if program parameter in conjunction with argument parameter were typed into Run dialogue (accessible from Start Menu).
| Program | Details |
|---|---|
| Program | Choose App to run, by providing path and file name of Windows executable. |
| Arguments | Arguments that will be passed to application upon its execution. |
| Start in folder | Provide a disk location in which the specified application will be executed. |
| Start menu |  Choose the App directly from the virtual Windows Start menu. Both Arguments and Start in folder parameters are also automatically filled with values of selected Start menu item. |
| Browse |  Use Browse to select a particular file or folder on local disk, network share on LAN (local area network), etc. |
| Variable Wizard |  Use dynamic data input—substitute a parameter from a file, web, connected Trigger, other Actions, date and time presets, etc. |
Notes
- Long file name usage · explains the necessity to delimit long file names using double quote characters.
- If long filenames are used as arguments, put each of them into double quotes, e.g.,
"long file name.txt". - Always force placing new windows in the foreground (above all other windows). See simple instructions for a fix—New program window appears behind all other open windows.
