Overview

This feature automatically executes workflows and sends notifications when device information is updated. It automatically detects OS version updates, asset number changes, MDM location updates, and more. This lets you start operations quickly without building workflows from scratch.

What Triggers a Workflow

  • Data updates via MDM integration (such as Jamf or Intune)
  • Syncs from other integrated services
  • Manual edits or updates on the device list page

Execution Flow

Detects a change in device information > Evaluates filter conditions > Sends a notification if conditions are met.

Use Cases

  • Get instant alerts when a device’s status, OS version, serial number, or location changes.
  • Have your IT or security team receive device change audit logs via email or Slack.
  • Automatically notify a specific Slack channel when an asset number is updated.

Prerequisites

Troubleshooting

FAQ

Q. Can I filter notifications by the value before or after the change? A. Yes. In the filter, add “New value” or “Previous value” from [+ Add other condition]. Then specify the value with [Is / Is not / Contains]. If you select only one field that has options in “Changed field”, you can pick the value from that field’s options. This includes custom fields with the “Select” data type. Q. Can I use the same condition twice in one group? A. No. Each condition type can be added only once per group. [+ Add other condition] shows only the condition types not yet used in that group. To use the same condition type again, add another group with [+ Add another group (OR)]. Q. Can I monitor only a specific single device? A. This is not currently supported. The trigger scope is “All Devices”. Narrow it down by setting conditions in the “Changed field” filter. Q. Will I be notified of past changes? A. No, only changes that occur after the workflow is published are targeted. Q. How quickly will I receive a notification? A. After the change is recorded in this service, notifications typically arrive within a few seconds. Q. Can I pause a workflow? A. Toggle off the target workflow in the automation list.
