Run a bat file from FLow?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JWTrustman 2

Help please. I'm a newbie here and trying to run what I thought would be the simplest of tasks, using flow to replace a series of AT commands. Specifically, I'm looking to run a bat file at a specific time.

No problem finding the information for a recurring task, but the simplest flow I could find for running a bat file was to connect to Azure to run a PowerShell command to run a bat file from a command shell. That is ridiculous complexity for what should be a basic task so I figure I'm overlooking something obvious. I realize that flow is a cloud based program and I'm looking for an inherently local task but even still. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @JWTrustman ,

     

    Please refer to similar Thread and see if it helps:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Flow-Discussion/Run-batch-file-using-flow/td-p/205160

    I haven't touched a similar action so far, and it seems that there is no such action.

    Please consider voting for this similar idea, so it might be considered for future releases.
