You can configure the automation trigger and use automation to invoke any external program that runs from a command line. Refer to the following for details:

Automation Trigger Configuration
Process Execution with EPP/Automation Support

EPP automation/support is compatible with API v2 r21 and later.

The API documentation includes the terms External Program Integration Plug-in (EPP) and EPP node.

As of BaseSpace Clarity LIMS v5.0, these terms are deprecated. The term EPP has been replaced with automation. EPP node is referred to as the Automation Worker or Automation Worker node. These components are used to trigger and run scripts, typically after lab activities are recorded in the LIMS.
