In this example I will autostart the GUI package manager of Manjaro.

Create a file e.g. ~/.config/autostart/pamac-manager.desktop In that file put:

[Desktop Entry]
Terminal=false
Name=pamac-manager
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/pamac-manager
Icon=pamac-manager
Comment=Package Manager

In the Exec line put the path to your executable file. The rest you can probably guess.
