Automate Lock Device

Hi folks, we’ve had a few instances where our Android devices get misplaced during field operations. Is there a way to make them lock automatically if they go inactive?

Can we automate the "Scan Device" action?

Hey everyone! I’m managing a fleet of tablets for a delivery service, and I’ve noticed the battery and storage info on my dashboard is often days old unless I manually click "Scan Device" for each one. Is there a better way to keep this data fresh without me having to manually initiate scan all day?

Can I automate Change User action?

I’ve been manually using the “Change Owner” action in the Manage tab every time a device switches hands. It’s become a bit of a headache. Can this process be automated in Hexnode, and does it work for something like new employee onboarding?

How do I automate the Update OS Action?

We manage a fleet of corporate laptops and mobile devices across different regions. One challenge we keep facing is ensuring that devices stay on supported OS versions without relying on users to manually install updates. Is there a way to automate OS updates so devices update themselves when needed? Also curious to know in what scenarios organizations typically automate…

Automate Enable Device Owner

Hi all, I’ve got some ROM-enrolled Android devices in Hexnode UEM. They’re stuck in legacy admin mode. I saw there’s an “Enable Device Owner” action. Can this be automated?

Is anyone automating contact imports on devices?

We’ve been exploring the Import Contacts action in Hexnode UEM Automations, but I’m curious how others are actually using it. Our idea was to automatically push a shared contact list to company phones, so employees always have key numbers like IT support, HR, and emergency contacts saved. Has anyone tried automating this? Does it work well at scale?

Anyone using automated remote actions for Android log collection?

We just started looking into the Automate feature for remote actions, specifically for gathering Android bug reports across our logistics fleet. Historically, when a driver reports a device crash, we have to manually trigger a log collection, wait for the device to be online, and then pull the data. By the time we get the logs, the "smoking gun"…

Is there a way to let users approve the restart after macOS updates?

Hey everyone, we manage a fleet of Macs using Hexnode UEM, and we try to keep updates under control, so users don’t get interrupted while working. Most of our employees have critical work running on their machines, so sudden restarts are a real problem. We prefer manual update installation and want to avoid automatic restarts. Ideally, updates should install only when…

Hey everyone, We manage a large fleet of Android and Mac devices for our enterprise field agents. Every month, we push out new promotional videos and updated PDF product catalogs to these devices so the team has the latest material. The problem is, the old files stay on the local storage and are starting to…

Automating set friendly names for devices?

Hey everyone! We’re currently managing about 500 iPads and Windows laptops. Right now, the "Device Name" in our portal is just a string of serial numbers or "iPad." It’s a nightmare when trying to find a specific user’s device during a support call. I know Hexnode has a way to automate "Friendly Names," but I’m curious—what are the actual best-use cases for this beyond…

Add ability to update or create apps with manifest paths

Hey team, We sadly use custom ROM flashed android devices that don't allow us to own them through android enterprise the classic way. This means our options for automated deployment are slim, as you don't offer a way to upload .apk files directly to your API for distribution. Due to this restriction, it…
