How to use a Python Script within Decisions

FunkyChicken645

Hello,

I have built a Python script that will combine the output data from my Decisions flow, is there a way to integrate this script within my flow so I don't have to download each output one by one?

Hey there, thanks for using the Decisions Community forum!

This is something you can most definitely do by using the Python Module.

Take note from our documentation:

"

The Python Module allows custom scripts written in Python to be created and used as steps inside a Flow. In order the utilize the Module, the file path must contain the Python executable to be ran. For example: C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe will be entered in Python Module Settings.

"

https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/python

This means Python must be installed on the app server itself.

You need to download the Python module in Decisions as seen below:

Once the Module is downloaded into decisions, navigate to your settings in Decisions and point Decisions to the file path of the Python executable, for example "C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe" into the box seen below, be sure to click save:

Once the module has been downloaded and the file path has been configured, you MUST restart Decisions for the file path to update. Once that's done, you can create a Script Project.

Within this script project, you can create a script and upload your custom Python file, which can then be used as a step within a flow.

Once the script is created, there will be a step created with the name of the script, it can be found in Integrations > All Integrations > Python.

The Python scripts you use will have to be created on an individual basis, but the documentation I've linked will help you get this working!
