Hey everyone,

We’ve got some scheduled maintenance coming up, and I need a way to send a message to all our managed devices, so users know what to expect. Ideally something quick that shows up on the device without us having to push a full policy.

Is there a built-in way to send a message to all devices at once in Hexnode?

Hi @eliiza,

Yes, you can broadcast a maintenance message to any number of devices right from the Hexnode portal. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Hexnode UEM portal.
  2. Go to Manage > Devices / Users / Groups depending on who you want to notify.
  3. Select the target devices or users.
  4. Click Actions > Others > Broadcast Message.
  5. Enter your message (up to 500 characters) and you can also use variables to personalize it.
  6. Send the broadcast.

For iOS and Windows devices, just remind users to open the Hexnode app and enable notifications, otherwise the alert won’t pop up on the device.

Let us know if you need help setting up recurring maintenance messages or scheduled notifications.

Cheers,
