Run Powershell Scripts through JEC

Question

Hello,

I would like to run a powershell Script through an Automation using the Jira Edge Connector. Triggering the Script works fine, but I can't figure out a way to access the Payloads from the Automation.

Online I can only find Examples in Python, but those aren't really helpfull.

Did anyone already try something like this?

The final goal for the JEC-Automation would be to automatically create a User-Account in our local Active Directory, Sql-Server, etc.

Thanks in advance.

i know this question is old and probably not useful for either of you two now but here's what we're doing.

"actionMappings": {

"ImmediateTerm": {

"sourceType": "local",

"filepath": "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe",

"flags": {

"-ExecutionPolicy": "Bypass",

"-File": "D:\jsm-jec-automation\jec-dev-immediateterm\scripts\<script name>.ps1"

},

"stdout": "D:\jsm-jec-automation\jec-dev-immediateterm\logs\postActionToJEC_output.log",

"stderr": "D:\jsm-jec-automation\jec-dev-immediateterm\logs\postActionToJEC_error.log"

}

the thing i'm struggling with is passing arguments into the script. The JEC passes in an argument automatically named $payload so you can access all the values you're passing from JEC by pulling those properties out of the $payload in your script.

I'm looking for the same type of help. We can trigger powershell.exe but actually invoking the script does not happen. Our "args" must be incorrect.

Here is what is in the .json:

"actionMappings": {
"AppendTHfinds": {
"filepath": "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe",
"args": ["-Command out-file C:\jsm\jsm-jec\output\echo.log -InputObject 'hi'"],
"sourceType": "local",
"stdout": "c:\itsoftdist\jec-logs.log",
"stderr": "c:\itsoftdist\jec-err.log"
},

Hello Hendrik,

Were you able to acheive your final goal for the JEC-Automation? I am just starting down this path and cannot find many success stories online, I was hoping you could shed some light. Thank you!
