To synchronously launch scripts and executables on various platforms as part of a chain, add a step that includes a Script Runner Run Script command. The connection supports the execution of native binaries, batch, and shell scripts on Microsoft Windows® and non-Windows platforms.

Note: To perform this command, the connector requires a GroundRunner.
