Flow Designer Action with Powershell Step - How to configure Outputs

[Morten Petters1]

Hi 🙂

I'm trying to prepare for automations using Powershell Steps in Flow Designer\IntegrationHub and I have managed to create a simple step that is already successful in some ways, it's running on the MID Server and executing. But I want to figure out how to configure Outputs in this Action that I'm creating, to get back some specific values. Lets say I just want to retrieve the status of a Service running on a Windows Server. I would like to get only the status back, and not having to parse anything, is that possible?

The powershell step should have an "output" option. When you test your powershell script that is where you can see your response. 

I believe there was a support ticket open because you the developer had to manually create an output object in the powershell and then write-data to it. But you should see a response that way right

I know this is an old post, but create an object and write-output while converting to json.  This will return a JSON string to the action that you can parse.
