Run Python script Action(Power Automate Desktop)
This Action that executes arbitrary Python.
This is effective for processing that would be difficult to handle with actions alone, but because it involves entering the program code itself, it is recommended that it be used only minimally in environments used by non-systems engineers.
However, complex conditional expressions are too large to be built with actions, so there are cases where code is more appropriate.
How to use
Drag "Run Python script" from "Scripting" under "Actions".
Set parameters.
Parameter
Python script to run
Specifies the Python script to run.
Power Automate Desktop variables are available in this (enclose the variable name in %).
The basic form is then to output the result with "print" and receive it in the Variables produced PythonScriptOutput.
In this example, the result is the Power Automate Desktop variable (NewVar) plus 5.
It is possible to read the value of a Power Automate Desktop variable.
However, it is not possible to set the value in reverse (a runtime error will occur).
Module folder paths

Variables produced
Stores the result of executing "Python script to run".
