Powershell with UiPath

Question

I am kicking off a PowerShell script with UiPath. I need to pass an argument in, from UiPath. Firstly is this possible and secondly does anyone have an example of this? Not sure what the syntax is for this in the PowerShell script

Answer 1

Is it possible to pass arguments from UiPath to the terminal.

• Your PowerShell script needs to be saved in a txt file.(PSSampleParameters.txt)

Code sample(PSSampleParameters.txt):

Param(
  [string]$computerName
)

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") 
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($computerName) 

• Add a "Read Text file" activity and on filename add your PowerShell script.

• Add "Invoke Power Shell" activity and be sure that you set "ContinueOnError" to True and check "IsScript"

• With "Invoke power shell" activity selected go to on right panel and click on "..." button from Parameters. In the screen that will open you can add your parameters.
