Hi,
Is it possible to launch external applications within Board, ex open a MSWord file directly from Board?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony,
for Board cloud customers it is not possible to launch a script that executes other applications on the Board engine host. For Board on-prem, you can have a 'server command' procedure action that executes a command on the same machine hosting the Board server, like opening a Word file.
In general, if the processes or external applications to trigger are fronted by a REST API service, then Board could start them with a REST API Call procedure action.
