Returning powershell output to UIPath

Help Studio

Hello,
How can I communicate PowerShell script output run by “Invoke PowerShell” activity to Uipth and use it and/or further process it in a workflow.

Hi @endyAutou ,

Welcome to the community!

You can get the value back from PowerShell by specifying what kind of data type you expect. I have only tried with string values but with some experimentation you can get values back from PowerShell for complex data types as well.

Hi Chaz,

Thanks for your response.

I can just do just one value/variable.

I did not try to it for arrays.

So I just used dictionary object outside of UiPath and output the result to csv file.

Later read the csv file for reporting purpose.

I wish I can send result from PowerShell directly to UiPath to avoid the intermediate step of CSV file
