Is it possible to start a Python program from the jira automation?

[Andreas K.]

We want to start a WebRequest from the Jira-Automation to GET some information via REST-API from another product in our house. 

The question is: Can we execute this GET-Rest-API query within a Python program and process the result there, all under the control of the Jira automation?

Hi,

I've found an article on executing an OS command, shell in this case, but I think it's also possible for a python script.

Just make sure that your OS user starting Jira has:

• Access to the location of the script
• Permission to execute the script

Take a look here:
