# Run Multiple Files & Scripts

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Q6jum2ktNg3RYlu3t7K9" alt="" width="96"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Vagon Streams allows you to run multiple files and scripts (.bat, Powershell, etc.) before, or after running the application itself. With this feature, it's possible to create custom flows like authenticating the application, resetting the application cache, transferring the user data to another platform or storage service for persistent storage, and more.

1. Choose the script or the executable file you would like to run.
2. Choose when you want to run via Run Schedule: **Before App Starts** or **After App Starts**
3. Choose the running trigger via Frequency: **Once for Each Stream Machine** or **On Every Visitor Session**
4. **Add New File / Script,** and so on.

You can add a new file or script rule anytime you want, and delete previously set ones.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vagon.io/streams/custom-flows/run-multiple-files-and-scripts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
