'Add External tool' in the 'Before Launch' does the trick.

Solution 3 - Intellij Idea

IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2 update

New version of IntelliJ IDEA has Shell Script Support included. It means you can now create Shell Script build for your project.

Edit Configurations > (+) Add New Configuration > Shell Script

You can also build your project before executing your script by adding Run Another Configuration task. That's how it looks like: Add Shell Build window

Solution 4 - Intellij Idea

Not sure about 11, but in 12 there's a part of Run/Debug Configuration that is called "Before Launch" and you can select your shell script in "Add External tool" option.
