Reed Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 you don't even need a plugin if you don't need to return the results from the external plugin directly. You can just use the Send Message script step. But if you want a plugin that can execute commands, Troi File and Scodigo Smartpill are two such plugins.

Per Lind Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks Reed, As I can see about Troi it only trigger Filemaker scripts, not window softwares. Regards Scodigo Smartpill I dont see anything about Trigger. Have I missed something? -Per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Not Troi Activator, Troi File. The newest version has a function called Execute_Shell() which will execute any external program and return the results (if any) to Filemaker. Smartpill can execute php code directly from within filemaker, including calling external programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
