Open exe file using flow

Like (0) ShareShare

Posted on 27 Aug 2019 20:01:21 by 25

I have a python script in an exe file.  I can save this in any location...documents...sharepoint..etc..  I just can't seem to find anything that clearly shows how flow can 'open' this file so it will launch.

 

My goal for flow steps....

  1. schedule flow to kick off when dataset completes (i'm using a custom connector for this)
  2. open exe file to kick off python script
  3. grab output file produced by python script (complete)
  4. email file to multip users (complete)

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Hi @wcsmith ,

     

    There is no any way in microsoft flow could open an excal file and kick off python script that you mentioned,

    I'm afraid that your requirement couldn't be achieved with microsoft flow.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
