Run a command when the terminal opens in Intellij IDEA

I have a Django project running in a virtualenv and I would like the terminal to run in that virtualenv when opened. At the moment I have to type workon virtualenv which isn't exactly the end of the world but I'm guessing there is a way to make this happen automatically? Is there a way to run commands at startup like you can do with the django and python consoles?

I know this is a very old question, but if you're using fish shell, you can also do this with the -C flag. For example I use it to set a different theme on shells open inside intellij by setting shell path to:

/opt/homebrew/bin/fish -C "fish_config theme choose 'Solarized Light'"

As tttthomasssss suggested, the answer is here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22289136/519074. Only this answer worked, the ones below it didn't even though they look more useful.

Update - This is what worked for me:

For each virtualenv, put a file called something like terminalactivate.sh into /bin with this:

#!/bin/sh
source ~/.bashrc
source $(cd `dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"` && pwd)/activate

Then in pycharm/idea settings choose this for shell path:

/bin/bash --rcfile ~/virtualenv/sff/bin/terminalactivate.sh
